Boston Globe
For all her “Clueless” comedy cred, Silverstone just might be at her best conveying a mother’s special knack for witheringly guilting her boys. - 70
Variety
An amiable, fast-paced entry that should win over fans. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
By now Bowers, who also directed the last two Wimpy Kid movies, knows how to choreograph the inherent chaos for optimal giggles, even if many of the book’s more satirical elements have been swapped out for broader slapstick. - 50
Movie Nation
The movie lacks the wince-with-recognition middle school spark that marked the first film in this tweenage franchise. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series has been, at its core, “Alvin and the Chipmunks” without the rodents. - 42
The A.V. Club
Here is the problem with making four movies about a middle-schooler who only ages a little and learns sitcom-ready lessons: After a while, it all starts to feel as repetitive and uninspired as any number of more ambitious franchises. The Long Haul has a chance to reimagine the series and only comes up with Vacation Junior. - 38
Slant Magazine
The film's problem isn't so much the grossness of its humor as the laziness with which it's executed. - 30
Austin Chronicle
No doubt, the under-10 crowd will love this bathroom vulgarity, even more so when their adult chaperones experience a flush of embarrassment.
