Somewhere along the way, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul must have misplaced the charm and humor that made the book series so popular.

Packed with stilted performances and hackneyed jokes from the road movie playbook, it doesnt work unless youve never seen another film in your life.

Basically, every character is a dummy, and the film relies on the audience being too young to realize it.Its not wimpy, just lazy.

Jokes are lame, David Bowers direction is tired and the handful of stick figure animation scenes are cleverer than the live action.

Best of all, the Wimpy movies managed to deliver worthwhile lessons in a saccharine free way.

If nothing else, The Long Haul should keep your kids quiet for 90 minutes, because they probably wont be laughing much at these easy gags either.

Diary of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is one of the worst films of the year so far and I dont think it will have much competition.

If youre a fan of the Wimpy Kid series, youll probably enjoy this one, too, even though it doesnt do anything new and isnt particularly good.

A fart gag can be funny, but Bowerss listless direction and slack comic timing drains the energy out of the scripts already underwritten punchlines.
