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.

For once, it'll be the grownups asking the kids: "Are we there yet?"
It's mostly carried off with aplomb, particularly by Charlie Wright, who looks like a slightly less evil Ezra Miller and gives a genuinely funny performance as permanently perplexed metalhead Rodrick.
A dirge of unfunny scatological material, techno-anxiety and child endangerment masquerading as familial bonding.
It's a toxic misstep from a once-reliable series.
"Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul" is the common type of road trip movie, the one where everything that can go wrong does go wrong.
The all-new cast is fine, but this "Wimpy" entry feels skimpy on jokes and charm.
Adults will find The Long Haul the perfect descriptor for what's in store: never has 90 minutes felt so long.
A long heartbreak for fans of the series and a long haul to sit through for moviegoers everywhere.
You know how people say Stephen King really shouldn't direct his own stuff for the big screen? ... kids are smarter than adults give them credit for - smart enough to avoid and/or ignore this foolishness.
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is painfully awful, hampered by a charmless cast and a criminally lightweight screenplay. A long haul indeed.
While some of set-pieces feel awfully familiar, there's enough memorable moments to keep audiences and in particular primary-aged kids entertained and enthralled.
Dull, uninspired and, in my 11-year-old's words "way-way off the books" on which it's based.
Remember when we all thought the entire film franchise of Diary of a Wimpy Kid was over? Then they managed to make another one just for easy benefit from your wallets. If you're prepared to see this movie, please skip on this one entirely or wait for it on rental. If you have kids with you, they will have to wait for another great film suitable for their age.
