Young Greg Heffley is looking forward to a long summer of just hanging out, but his mother throws a monkey wrench into his plans when she forces the entire family to take a road trip for a relative's birthday celebration. His eyes soon light up after he realizes that the excursion is his ticket to a gaming convention to meet YouTube sensation Mac Digby. Greg's imagination then kicks into overdrive as he sneakily hatches a scheme to attend the expo and gain some much-deserved fame.

Critics Consensus

With an all-new cast but the same juvenile humor, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul finds the franchise still stuck in arrested -- and largely unfunny -- development.

At least Silverstone, who hasn't lost her gift for comic pouting, is allowed to bring some humanity and playfulness to her killjoy character -- though this mainly reinforces the impression that she deserves better roles.

All in all, it's harmless fun.

Now, with a new cast in place, and tweaks to allow such mod-cons as social media, the wheels have come off entirely.

If you aren't twelve years old or twelve-year-old-adjacent, there just isn't likely much for you to enjoy in this film.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is a road trip movie that trips over every terrible family movie cliche with pacing so bad it made 91 minutes feel like a lifetime.

Surpreendentemente eu gostei do final e gostaria de ver mais desses atores, mas o roteiro fraco eo humor medíocre estragou todo o potencial que este filme tinha, descaracterizando até personagens.

This movie was extremely inappropriate for a kids movie; they should not have shown Greg watching gassy fetish videos on his phone. Whoever came up with the plot, doesn’t understand source material.

It's the sort of bad quadrequel that comes a long while later. We all thought that Dog Days of 2012 was the perfect ending of the DOAWK movie franchise with its aging cast such as Greg getting Holly Hills & whatever. But in this unnecessary movie, things go in ways we do not like. Firstly, the cast, Greg is made younger than he ended up as or Rodrick looking way different previously - neither of them look related unlike previously. Secondly, the storyline does not involve a timeless scream or book accuracy which involves a meme, social media & gaming (something modern day people are into) instead of a boat sale (which is more timeless) not to mention that Meemaw was already dead in the books. One twisty thing is that Greg owns a phone at the age of 12, when in Dog Days he got his first phone at 14 (which was a crappy ladybug one where you could only phone home or 911). Even if it is deemed standalone/non canon, we still do not like it.
