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.

2/5

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.

2/5

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

2.5/5

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.

3/10

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.

Not the best thing to look at, but it's decent for little kids.

I don't like it at all, because the characters are weird... and the casting is different.

Esta sequela falha em todos os níveis possíveis ao substituir o elenco original por atores sem qualquer carisma ou química, destruindo a identidade da franquia.

It sucks if you read this review, never watch it. I’m not even going to explain. It’s nothing like the book and the actors just suck.
