This is one of the worst movies I have seen, and is one of the worst 'comedy' films I have seen.

In this movie, theyThis is one of the worst movies I have seen, and is one of the worst 'comedy' films I have seen. I loved the previous Diary of A Wimpy Kid movies because of great cast members, funny and realistic situations, and charm. In this movie, they have changed all of the actors that made the original films good. And the new ones were awful. Rodrick, who in the original films looked like the character he was designed to be, a rebellious teenager who deep down has sympathy, was replaced by a new Rodrick who looked like an emo Asian girl. The casting sucked. The comedy was very off with bad timing and stupid situations. The film attempted at a cheap gag when Greg picked up a diaper and was called diaper hands. Oh wow very hysterical. Rodrick was brain dead in this film, and Greg looked like a 6 year old. This is nothing more than a knockoff, and does not deserve to be in the Diary of A Wimpy Kid series.… Expand

Don't blame me, it's Sunday, but yeah, this is the worst movie of the whole franchise and without the original cast, the new ones completely suck, kid actors must have grace and charisma and these have none of that.

As someone that did grew up with the books and a bit of the movies, I was expecting garbage, and I got garbage. While the older films were not high art, they were not as pandering, padded, stupid, nor disgusting as this movie. It's basicallyAs someone that did grew up with the books and a bit of the movies, I was expecting garbage, and I got garbage. While the older films were not high art, they were not as pandering, padded, stupid, nor disgusting as this movie. It's basically every terrible kids movie made in the 90s and 2000s, filled with crass toilet humor that thinks that being gross is somehow funny (which is not), filler that don't do anything but distract from the main story, and characters that are underdeveloped or just plain unlikable. If anything, this movie is a sad reminder that movie studios will still beat a dead horse and Batman and Robin really did a number on Alicia Silverstone's career.… Expand

If an entirely new cast of under-performing leads doesn't say enough about this abomination, than The Long Haul's grueling attempts at sub-par humor will make any fan of the series leave the theater immediately.

It's awful. Could be the worst I have seen this year. It's Poorly acted, unfunny, lazy, and cringe-worthy. My family and I were in awe with the laziness put into this motion picture. It's like none of the crew working for this even tried. WeIt's awful. Could be the worst I have seen this year. It's Poorly acted, unfunny, lazy, and cringe-worthy.

These make the original films look like their comedic gold. Do not watch this disappointing mess of film.… Expand

Ugghh... Now i'd expect more from 20th Century Fox, you could've made a great film but come on guys another Diary of a Wimpy Kid Reboot? I'm not saying the old Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies were good, but they were at least decent!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul has the worst green screen effects, camera work, and acting I've ever seen in a cinema. Period.

Now I could go on for hours of how this movie is just plain out bad. But, I don't want to waste my time doing it. :)

The comedy is better than the others but still has the same problems of the last 3 horrible movies. Now the location has changed again but nothing else as changed as usual.

The best word to describe Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is stupid. It's just flat-out stupid. Not even funny stupid like Dumb & Dumber, no, it's just unbearably stupid. I genuinely question how anyone thought this was a good idea. ThisThe best word to describe Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is stupid. It's just flat-out stupid. Not even funny stupid like Dumb & Dumber, no, it's just unbearably stupid. I genuinely question how anyone thought this was a good idea. This film is so bad and 5 years too late, that even the original cast got too old, forcing the studio to replace everyone and even parade that fact in their marketing.

Wow. Just... wow.… Expand

The new cast just makes this movie terrible than it is. Greg looks like he's lesbian; the book is much better than this movie. So just go read that instead of watching the film.

Roderick didn't drink the piss. They refused to complete his character arc. Worst movie 0/10

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After watching this crap, I wanted to go blind. Not only did I fall down the steps in the theater after the film ended, I promised myself that I will go blind, but I didn't do that luckily.
The new cast is DISGRACEFUL! Rodrick is hands down the worst, Devon Bostick gave a lot of energy and creativity to Rodrick and this new guy kills enjoyment. NO good humor at all. Also, WHY IS THIS BASED ON THE 9TH BOOK WHEN THERE WAS BOOKS 5-8 TO GO THROUGH! I guess they had to make an indirect sequel since Greg is now 8 years old instead of 13.

The filmmakers should have made one more film back in 2013, basing the story around The Ugly Truth, with some elements from Cabin Fever. After all, if the cast is becoming older, they should've been in films with more maturity.

Hopefully, there will either be no more Wimpy Kid films, or they'll bring back the original cast for a more mature film. In the meantime people, take this film and toss it in the furnace.… Expand

I couldn't care less about the cast change, honestly it's probably an improvement. This movie is a painfully idiotic and unnecessary diversion for the lowest common denominator of viewers.
