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.

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.

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.

Overhated. It's not that bad, and me and my family had a good time watching it. I even prefer some of the cast, (I.e, Mom) over the original movies.

This movie felt like someone hung me upside down and let jefferey epstein take care of the rest. I found the part where greg and his mother start a relationship very uneasy. Why did frank leave her for the sexy uncle anyways?

Unlike the last three, this one is trash, no offense to the actor of Rodrick, but you just don't fit it, I'm not used to this new cast, why did they have to make a fourth one anyway?
