You want me to read. I'm reading text! What's the difference?

The Long Haul: Famous for it's bad reception by the community. But is it really THAT bad? Here is what I think, which is a LOT. I took down about 10 notes while watching this.
So, the film is about them going on a road trip for Meemaw’s 90th birthday and Susan enforces a rule of no technology, which I think is pretty annoying. Susan’s rule of no technology is annoying and especially for a person like Greg who is self-centered and only cares about his own happiness, and the outcome is a bad main character. Greg in the first three movies were better characters compared to Greg in the first seven books. But when you compare this counterparts, the book Greg is better. All this Greg cares about is video games and Mac Digby, a famous YouTuber in the Wimpy World. The thing about the books is that we don’t know EXACTLY where they are, and the social media/tech aspect is doing a great job
Speaking of bad, the CGI in this movie is completely horrendous. It’s only with one shot where the pig tries flying out the window, but it’s so obvious that it’s just sad.
The movie relies on potty humor instead of carefully crafted punchlines that effort were put in, like Diaper Hands and the pig farting. However, there is only one time that is funny but I don’t recommend sticking around just for it.
I also don’t recommend sticking around for Greg or Manny. Their characters are portrayed horribly and not at all accurately to the first three movies or first twelve books. It’s just so annoying. Rodrick, Susan and Frank are the only good actors in this movie, and they portray their characters very well. I don’t know why Charlie Wright gets hated on for his version of Rodrick. He reminds me of Devon’s version.
This could be better and this could be worse. Sure beats the hell out of Double Down, though.
Rating: 2.3/5
