Manny speaking Spanish is actually part of the book, but HORRIBLY represented. In the book, Susan makes the family listen to Spanish tracks on a tape as an attempt to “learn Spanish”. Everyone gets bored but it’s revealed that manny actually learnt it. This movie doesn’t get the diary of a wimpy kid books at all :/
I will admit that at least some of the movie's problems can be traced back to the book. Like the bad stuff just kind of happening, the characters being flat and one note, etc. I still like the book more than the movie, though.
@@pichugamer5275 yea that is true they should've picked last straw or ugly truth those would've been pretty interesting due to some character development.
The Real Dirty Dan The last straw was part of Rodrick rules.Rodrick rules is the first semester of 7th grade for Greg and the last straw is the second semester.
When Jeff Kinney is ready to end the series, he should write a follow up book of when they’re all older and they can make a movie the original cast acts in it.
The only good thing about the casting is that Greg and Rodrick looks similar. I don't think that it's because they actually look similar, it's just because they have the same amount of dead in their eyes.
This. This movie hurt me. This "movie" made me question my existence. This movie made me regret not dying during Order 66. This movie may be the reason that I went into isolation on Tatooine. Should this even be considered a "movie"? The Diary of a Wimpy Kid films were movies. This monstrosity, this thing, doesn't even deserve to be called a movie. Disgusting. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
This movie was a massive downgrade from the holy trilogy. The cinematography, writing, acting, cast, plot and heart in the OG trilogy is MILES better than the Long Haul!!
The issue is that the movie is lazy. They made it a road trip, so they didn’t have to build a world around the characters, and the relationships they’ve built. The beginning of Rodrick Rules, when Frank goes and picks up Greg in the middle of the skating park, it’s feels more charismatic, or relatable. The diaper hands scene is in no way relatable.
That's more the fault of the source material, which, despite being up there with the first 5 in terms of how good it is, felt like Jeff was writing it to eventually just become a road trip film (and from what I heard, he did). The funny thing is a bunch of the bad shit was exclusive to the movie, like the impact font meme thing at the beginning and the video game expo side plot.
Leopold Litchenstein but the directors chose to use the road trip, they could have picked from so many different books to base the movie on, but they chose the one that required the least amount of effort.
@@ianaudas6181 True, and it is strange, though they didn't have that many good options. Ugly Truth is about puberty and they would probably want young actors to squeeze a new trilogy out of before going that route (had this one not bombed so hard). Third Wheel or Hard Luck would have been alright choices as well, they were going for something low effort and not too recent to the point that its pointless to make or involves more than the main cast of the books. Alternatively, if they were feeling super lazy, they probably would have picked Cabin Fever since that one mostly took place in the Heffley household for 2/3 of it, but that one's supposed to have been getting an animated special planned for years that we know is never gonna come out at this point. Best case scenario would have been to just not make another film, honestly, but most everyone already knows that
Leopold Litchenstein You’re right, no movie would have probably been the absolute best scenario, but of the options, they probably didn’t pick the worst, but they definitely didn’t pick the best.
Original Susan: cares about manny but still makes it clear that she loves greg and rodrick. Reboot Susan: greg almost dies, but is concerned about manny sleeping
They should have just done this movie with the original cast and have the story be like Time had passed. The cast is aged up. The movie doesn’t open up with the usual monologue and title sequence because he thinks he’s outgrown it. Rodrick is moved out doesn’t talk to the family as much. Manny is the golden child perfect at school and stuff and is embarrassed of Greg lately cause he’s coasted through HS w no plan and continued giving heffleys a bad rap in school. Greg stopped writing diary’s out of self consciousness and tries becoming a video game streamer/online personality but he was never good at games just better than rowley. Greg procrastinated on an assignment where he has to pick his career path and senior year starts at the end of the week. Greg refuses to believe streaming isn’t a career. Susan reunites them on the road trip to go see grandma cause she’s sick and she’s family, but Susan herself doesn’t have a history book/ doesn’t have any stories about her family cause her side never kept in touch or recorded their history well. The brothers realize they don’t want to end up like Susan’s family out of touch with no good memories. Manny realizes Greg is only so lost because he got the middle child level of support growing up and tells Greg he read his diary’s and that’s what prepares him so well for middle school. Greg realizes writing is what he was good at and he wants to record his family history through writing and posting it online. (Like the OG wimpy kid book!) Movie ends with Greg’s monologue and title sequence with classic theme.
Greg is supposed to he selfish but witty Rodrick is supposed to be lazy Susuan is supposed to be overprotective Frank is supposed to be strict, but only because he wants whats best for his sons
Dunno if it’s been pointed out already But fox actually got Devon Bostick to react to the trailer, and didn’t inform him he was being replaced, so we actually got his genuine reaction and response to him being replaced... sad
Oh god that video was so sad. Him being all happy at first and "I was so busy last year, I don't even remember filming" only to watch his smile drop after he sees the new cast.
greg and rowley look WAY too young especially considering that greg basically went through puberty throughout the previous films and now looks younger than he did in the first film. Although rowley doesnt really have any physical changes through the movies he still looks (just like greg) younger than he did in the first film.
@@joystickpeps21 But the movie had the exact same thing as the book, idk why he didn't include it. In the movie, Susan puts on a Spanish CD for everyone to listen to, and you can hear it throughout the movie.
violetclover1224 my argument was they were calling him stupid for not reading the book. I was just saying you shouldn’t have to read the book like they’re saying to watch the film
That scene at player expo had a Jeff Kinney cameo. He's advertising a Animal Crossing/Cityville knockoff. His face is a face of a man who has watched his franchise burn.
The characters are bad, but this film made me hate the mom. It made her be a horrible person, and I don’t know if I’ll ever have her character fixed. Especially the scene with the Greg almost getting hit by the car and her being worried about Manny waking up, who’s actually the best character in the film.
A fan film would have been better and have more love put into it than this trash-fire. They really didn't try at all with this movie and they RUINED RODRICK! RUINED HIM!!!!
In the book, the beard guy didn't actually chase Greg, Greg just thought he was after him and tried to hide from him which would usually end up accidentally screwing his family. In the movie, the beard guy gets angry at Greg for something his kids did and actively chases after Greg like a fucking Terminator.
The problem is that it starts nowhere and ends nowhere making the whole film a waste of time because instead of achieving anything or growing as a person they just end up back to the way it was at the beginning
Honestly a better book that they could've adapted would've been Cabin Fever or the Third Wheel. It would've fit in with the overall tone of the previous film's (more character driven, as in Cabin Fever, the Heffleys would've been shut indoors together with believable circumstances, or in Third Wheel, where Greg would/could learn the importance of sometimes being a wingman for your friends). The Long Haul (the book itself) is honestly the worst book they could've chosen, as there's effectively no plot or overarching goals other than a road trip. Hell, even the newer book in the series: the Getaway, would've been a better book, since the accidents that happen there are COMPLETELY (for the most part) believable. If they'd chosen Getaway as the source material, they'd still keep the family trip arch and be able to focus on the mother and her wanting her family to get along, whilst not having the string of convoluted and unfortunate consequences. With Getaway, the incidents only amount to nearly missing the flight, annoying people sitting next to you on the plane, finding a spider in your room and the baby sibling bringing a live creature back to the hotel. Unfortunate, but believable, as opposed to the flock of demon seagulls from hell (I'm exaggerating a bit here), an angry Terminator family that seeks to ruin your trip and having the boat literally fly off the rails with your kid inside. Honestly the most believable incident is either the luggage flying out of the boat or Roderick locking the pizza in a safe in that book, and the latter isn't something Roderick would normally do.
I think the reason they chose The Long Haul was for 2 reasons 1. Bc it was a summer plot for the book 2. I think Long Haul was the latest book at this time
Unfortunately, Manny also learns to speak fluent Spanish in the book version too. And he also built an entire house himself with sprinkler systems installed out of scrap wood in the latest book
I love the change in background in this essay, the first three video essays were nice and neat cause they were good movies and cause you liked them while this background reflects how bad this movie is and your disdain for it. it's a nice touch
To be fair, in "The Long Haul" book the Dad is always working and the Mom constantly nags, but taking characters directly from the books isn't exactly a good idea, considering they're one dimensional and same-ey.
This. The thing about the Long Haul is that it's more faithful to the characters in the books, but the problem is, those characters are not very likeable or well-developed.
I always thought they should have continued the series in a more adult way, though the source material doesn’t do that. Same actors from OG trilogy in the 4th film and beyond to follow them through high school. If continuing the film series past Dog Days was what they wanted, that would’ve made for much more interesting content. Great essay series. Diary of a Wimpy Kid IS cinema.
@@mahfuzvx3967 There was a good reason for Far From Home too.. I dont dislike it as much as he does, infact i actually like the film, but i can respect his opinion.
I honestly think that the foundation of all the issues with the movie is that they chose to adapt the long haul over any other diary of a wimpy kid book. The long haul is easily my least favorite book and considering they were kinda faithful to the book (to my knowledge. its been a while since I've read it), it makes sense to me why it was so awful.
Uhh, I read the book and the movie was ALMOST nothing like the book. Honestly I'm kind of sad this movie is connected to the Long Haul book because now people will hate it more, which sucks because I think the book is really fun
The first 3 movies are all like blood related brothers that are all unique, yet share a lot in common. The Long Haul is like the adopted half brother that everyone shits on.
I always thought a fourth movie should’ve had the OG cast and should’ve been about Greg in his senior year of high school. Honestly I would’ve preferred a movie about literally anything else besides what we got
I think that, since the theme of the movie is communication and the development of Greg's relationship with his mom, Greg could've been trying to tell his mom his discomforts with her way of raising them. The mom would be busy trying to figure out her son while trying to do her best at being a mom, but instead of paying attention to Greg's personality she uses blogs and books (like the ones she gets the mommy meals idea from) as her guides. As the film progresses Greg gets better at connecting with his mom with his dad's help at times. At the end Greg's mom has learned to listen to her children as individuals, and instead of getting to Mema's house they end up eating at a fast food restaurant while they are talking to each other, laughing like a real family.
The Long Haul is the weird cousin at the family reunion that your parents told you not to talk to
no. it's adopted.
Ironically Diary of a Wimpy kid Long Haul was one of the best and funniest books in the entire series and at the same time one of the worst movies.

Original trilogy, like Star Wars to be immortalised into history diary of the wimpy kid will be
Why you talk like the tree lady from lord of the rings
I genuinely think that this guy should be a director he clearly understands the characters well and their development throughout the film
12:42 Manny is actually onwy thwee...
🤮🤮 thats worse
@@Browntable That part was in the books it was hilarious. I don't think it was meant to be a sad scene.
The only thing "good" about the new rodrick is that he wore an Avenged Sevenfold shirt and that's the smallest saving grace
Even though this movie is a sequel/reboot it feels like it’s one of those shit Disney rip-offs
Agentbro007 Bruh get ready for the Disney+ show lol
Elite 100 WHAT
I do not know what to call myself send help there’s gonna be a Disney+ DOAWK show
Ironically it's now owned by Disney
Honestly a better book that they could've adapted would've been Cabin Fever or the Third Wheel. It would've fit in with the overall tone of the previous film's (more character driven, as in Cabin Fever, the Heffleys would've been shut indoors together with believable circumstances, or in Third Wheel, where Greg would/could learn the importance of sometimes being a wingman for your friends). The Long Haul (the book itself) is honestly the worst book they could've chosen, as there's effectively no plot or overarching goals other than a road trip. Hell, even the newer book in the series: the Getaway, would've been a better book, since the accidents that happen there are COMPLETELY (for the most part) believable.
If they'd chosen Getaway as the source material, they'd still keep the family trip arch and be able to focus on the mother and her wanting her family to get along, whilst not having the string of convoluted and unfortunate consequences. With Getaway, the incidents only amount to nearly missing the flight, annoying people sitting next to you on the plane, finding a spider in your room and the baby sibling bringing a live creature back to the hotel. Unfortunate, but believable, as opposed to the flock of demon seagulls from hell (I'm exaggerating a bit here), an angry Terminator family that seeks to ruin your trip and having the boat literally fly off the rails with your kid inside. Honestly the most believable incident is either the luggage flying out of the boat or Roderick locking the pizza in a safe in that book, and the latter isn't something Roderick would normally do.
I think the reason they chose The Long Haul was for 2 reasons
1. Bc it was a summer plot for the book
2. I think Long Haul was the latest book at this time
ok so here’s my theory:
*the beardos are the original cast*
Lol yeah
I just got very deep in thought to this comment 🤔 💭
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔I think we're onto something here fellas
Would make sense if it hadn’t been shown that Zach is a literal chad now
I watched The Long Haul in theaters when I had like 9 or 10, even at that age it still rubbed me the wrong way. I’m 14 now.
Fun Fact : Jason Drucker ( the kid who played Greg in this) was a 1 year younger then what Zachary Gordon was when the first film came out .
THE ACTORS ARE SO DIFFERENT I CANT EVEN
Unfortunately, Manny also learns to speak fluent Spanish in the book version too. And he also built an entire house himself with sprinkler systems installed out of scrap wood in the latest book
They should just make one where Greg is in college and using the original cast
I love the change in background in this essay, the first three video essays were nice and neat cause they were good movies and cause you liked them while this background reflects how bad this movie is and your disdain for it. it's a nice touch
this video series was by far my favorite ever. thank you for making these videos and putting into words what i truly believe in my heart.
A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. If it does, you get The Long Haul.
4:22 can't believe that this "Rodrick" is using a shirt of one of my favorite all time band's
Somebody hit me with a bat
To be fair, in "The Long Haul" book the Dad is always working and the Mom constantly nags, but taking characters directly from the books isn't exactly a good idea, considering they're one dimensional and same-ey.
This. The thing about the Long Haul is that it's more faithful to the characters in the books, but the problem is, those characters are not very likeable or well-developed.
Og frank and Susan: likable
Reboot frank and Susan: mean-spirited and not likable
My mum cried when he got the pig back and to this day I can't forgive her
The book it was based off was decent, but they did the book so wrong. I can’t even say how stupidly wrong they got this story wrong
AC Air Conditioning Yeah, the book was better
This isn’t the fourth movie, it’s the spin-off
I always thought they should have continued the series in a more adult way, though the source material doesn’t do that. Same actors from OG trilogy in the 4th film and beyond to follow them through high school. If continuing the film series past Dog Days was what they wanted, that would’ve made for much more interesting content. Great essay series. Diary of a Wimpy Kid IS cinema.
The best scene in the movie is the ending credits
I cringed 80% of this video, and the other 20% I didn't is to the scenes from the OG Wimpy Kid.
i love how most of his issues, like the pig and manny speaking spanish were stuff in the actual book
I had to watch Roderick sing baby for movie 3 just to remind myself what a cinematic masterpiece is.
same
I don't care how old Devon is, cast him in every Wimpy Kid film.
my sleep paralysis demon
I actually finished the whole movie, and I was so relieved when it finally ended. The road trip feels forever.
This is the equivalent of Far From Home for HiTop films
With this though there will be a good reason why the movie "broke him"
@@mahfuzvx3967 There was a good reason for Far From Home too.. I dont dislike it as much as he does, infact i actually like the film, but i can respect his opinion.
@@ayushshah2103 I think you should watch jay exci's reply to Hitop films video.He breaks the video down to show how his "criticism" is very flawed.
Mahfuz VX ah yes, a man of culture
Except this movie has a more understandable reason why it broke him.
"oh, and this scene was good too!"
**shows credits**
Excellent work my dude! You definitely opened my eyes to how great and underrated the OG Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies are
1:13 are we just gonna pretend rodrick wasn’t hot before
I honestly think that the foundation of all the issues with the movie is that they chose to adapt the long haul over any other diary of a wimpy kid book. The long haul is easily my least favorite book and considering they were kinda faithful to the book (to my knowledge. its been a while since I've read it), it makes sense to me why it was so awful.
Uhh, I read the book and the movie was ALMOST nothing like the book. Honestly I'm kind of sad this movie is connected to the Long Haul book because now people will hate it more, which sucks because I think the book is really fun
@@Puggers22 I agree. I think the Long haul is one of the best ones
You know what would be a hilarious joke:
If someone said this was a good movie 🤣
This movie is truly a turd in the wind.
Awesomesharkhand 😂
The first 3 movies are all like blood related brothers that are all unique, yet share a lot in common. The Long Haul is like the adopted half brother that everyone shits on.
I always thought a fourth movie should’ve had the OG cast and should’ve been about Greg in his senior year of high school. Honestly I would’ve preferred a movie about literally anything else besides what we got
@dr103 true
@dr103 but still they could have still had the same story just everyone is older and is in the modern world
It should have been about Wrecking Ball, and Greg and Rowley have a moment of a final goodbye. But it ends with the house getting destroyed.
I want the old cast back why Jeff kinney
R.I.P old Rodrick,the first one was perfect. We were all gay with real Rodrick😢😢😢
This is the “themepark cinema” that Scorcese warned us about
Remember its not "cinema" 😂
That themepark cinema is way better than this cra0
I think that, since the theme of the movie is communication and the development of Greg's relationship with his mom, Greg could've been trying to tell his mom his discomforts with her way of raising them. The mom would be busy trying to figure out her son while trying to do her best at being a mom, but instead of paying attention to Greg's personality she uses blogs and books (like the ones she gets the mommy meals idea from) as her guides. As the film progresses Greg gets better at connecting with his mom with his dad's help at times. At the end Greg's mom has learned to listen to her children as individuals, and instead of getting to Mema's house they end up eating at a fast food restaurant while they are talking to each other, laughing like a real family.
a 5 hour wait...whos w/ me boys
this video was wayyy funnier than the whole movie
