Comedy. Kids Greg convinces his family to take a road trip to attend his great grandmother's 90th birthday as a cover for what he really wants: to attend a nearby gamer convention. Unsurprisingly, things do not go according to plan and Heffley family antics ensue.

	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"These movies don’t fully capture the charm of the books (...) But they’re lively, polished and good-natured as family entertainment goes."	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s the same old 'Wimpy Kid' in that it still hasn’t figured out how to make its characters as likeable or knowingly engaging as Kinney’s simple line drawings and text (...) There’s still sufficient, harmless amusement"	NEU
United States	Sam Fragoso The Wrap	"The earlier entries were smart and sweet examinations of being a kid, but this time we get clichés and oversimplification"	NEG
United States	Stephen Whitty New York Daily News	"Boy, time flies. Except for people watching this crud (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Keith Watson Slant	"The fundamental problem with 'The Long Haul' (...) isn't so much the grossness of its humor as the laziness with which it's executed (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"[It] jettisons everything that’s honest and worthwhile about the books in favor of hackneyed misadventures and gross-out scatological humor (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The fresh blood has been saddled with a tired story, the family road trip that goes outlandishly awry, and the result is another forgettable film."	NEG
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"[It] feels grodier and more DVD-ready than its predecessors (...) It traffics in computer-generated vomit, a surprising number of defecation gags, and a weird grudge against both the overweight and the bearded."	NEG
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"One hesitates to refer to it as a 'comedy', as the jokes are few and far between (...) [A] bumpy and miserable ride."	NEG
