It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I truly enjoyed the series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Than I seen this one. Had to watch it. OMG. The worst. The best part of this film is when it's over and you realize you don't have to look at it any more. Sylverstone career is over after this. The parents of the kids who were in this movie should forget their next birthday as punishment for making this movie.

How does this movie even have 4 stars? It was the worst film of 2017. Even worse than The Emoji Movie.I can't believe that the writers think kids can be this dumb. It is unbelievable. The whole movie is filled with nonstop fart jokes and pee jokes. I only laughed once and it wasn't even a laugh. It was one snicker. The rest are the most disgusting stuff you've ever seen. The casting department was so darn lazy. It clearly looks like they picked the runner ups. Jason Drucker is already off to a bad start. I couldn't tell if he was overacting or not even trying. Charlie Wright is even worse. He reminds me of Keanu Reeves from the late 80s. He was trying so hard to be funny but I didn't at him once. From the trailer I knew he didn't fit as Rodrick. I don't know what happened with the dad. It seemed like they looked back at Steve Zahn's career and thought his costar in That Thing You Do would be the right choice. I thought he could've been more funny. And Alicia Silverstone, I still don't like her from Batman and Robin. Playing a mom who embarrasses her son should've been the easiest comeback for Alicia Silverstone. Instead she brings nothing new to the table. In summary, the old cast was way better than this one.There were moments that could've been emotional, but instead, the lazy writers figured to just slam another lazy joke. Good god this movie was bad. It is a waste of time. I hated almost every second of it. I can't believe that Jeff Kinney said, "I think it's gonna be the best Diary of a Wimpy Kid yet." That was adorable. Fox would be mentally insane to make a sequel to this movie.

I'm not the first one to say this, but this film is in the wrong franchise. Of course it was different than previous ones. It is a road movie, though all it reminded me was 'National Lampoon's Vaction'. It has been five years since the last film in the 'Wimpy Kid' series. I understand the reason for recasting, but still I expected to be what it is famous for.The family decides to take a road trip, instead of flying to attend the grandma's 90th birthday. The mother wants it in an old way. That means no technology throughout the trip. But the kids are so addictive of their phones and so her husband. How they make it, and other troubles that they face during a long journey was told with some fun.Yeah, I did not say the film isn't any fun. You would enjoy it, as a time pass film, but the laugh is hard to come by. Every bit of the film is one way or other, resembles other films. The actors were good, the direction was good, but not the writing. Despite all these flaws, the kids might enjoy it better than the adults. Just an average film, but not the worst film as others saying.5/10

Even I have to laugh at the #notmyrodrick uproar. It's the silver lining in all of this. "The Long Haul" is atrocious, a dumbed-down sequel that tosses out the series' charms for the cheap gags. It's got DTV written all over it, which does not do the book justice. And it was a great book!It was about six months ago that we saw the trailer for this in the theater. Tom Everett Scott and Alicia Silverstone start jamming to The Spice Girls' "Wannabe", and a kid in the back of the theater asks, "Mommy, what are they saying?". That moment was funnier than anything in the movie. 3/10
