The Worst Film Ever

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Greg, 12 years old and the middle brother with an almost-toddler younger brother and an idiot-psycho-teenager older brother, is taken on a road trip by his mother who is determinedAfter 3 tolerably entertaining family movies, the franchise has been recast - we have 5 new actors playing Greg, his parents, and his older and younger brothers. I do not think the recasting is an improvement. This is especially so in the case of older brother Roderick who is now played by a young actor who clearly has oriental family somewhere in his near past. I don't have a problem with this, but it does make you raise your eyebrows a bit.The story is dumb (especially the ongoing plot thread concerning Greg falling foul of a large bearded fellow on broadly the same itinerary. I know the crux of the plaot is Greg getting into trouble, but this was just so stupid as to defy credibility.This was a criticism which could be levelled at the whole film. The previous ones were more or less believable, this one was not.Even if it had been funny, I think I would still have balked somewhat at a kids/family film where one of the gags was Greg sitting on the other side of a shower curtain, listening to graphic sounds of defecation from two feet away. Farts are one thing, t*rds plopping into the toilet are something quite other.It was weird seeing Alicia Silverstone, once a sexy nymphet, now playing A middle-aged Mum. One thing stays the same, though: her mouth still has a strange sort of half-life of its own.This film could have been a lot better. A LOT better. But it wasn't.

You know diary of a wimpy kid 1 was Bad but since rowley is a likeable character i dont think it is Awful. Diary of a wimpy kid 2 Was okay Diary of a wimpy kid 3 was Also fine. Now this film, This is the Worst movie i ever watched the story is NOTHING is like the book the. animation is terrible. the characters are REPLACED and rowley is not a main character #notmyrowley. Its a nightmare of a movie based of a book. 1/10

OMG Where do I start : 1.The 4.2 rating is a disgrace , 2.$40 mill worldwide is a disgrace (the books have sold 170 mill?), 3.People who rated it less than 5 - what on earth ???, 4.Great new cast - casting was perfect , 5.Great story , 6.Funny as hell , 7.I'm a depressed person & was laughing out loud , how dear these fellow IMDb users rate this great Wimpy movie so low - what the heck is wrong with you people ??? 8. Can't wait for the next one with this cast , 9. I give up.....

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
