today i offer you the silly goofy scene + a bonus in the middle

no need to credit me - these are just screenshots from the movie, all the editing was making them into squares

this is once again the #BOTHmyRodrick zone! if you are not into it, just keep scrolling. but if you like our other rodrick as well, welcome to the movement! ★

[the-radio-star]

you can tell that they really understood the assignment because they made Rodrick (Roderick) head of the house of Heffley (Usher)

[la-nom-nom]

After revisiting the DOAWK franchise, I got the chance to watch this movie:

After watching it… well it’s not a favorite and I can see where the haters are coming from. IMO it’s not good but it does feel like it gets more heat than it really deserved. Would I prefer any of the previous three films over this one? Definitely!

What bums me out about this is that I feel like if the Long Haul was taken in a different direction, maybe even with the cast we got, it might’ve gotten better reception. The film shows the road trip was Susan’s idea, and I think they were trying is to develop the relationship between her and Greg. Kinda in a similar fashion like Greg did in the previous three (first Rowley, second Rodrick, third Frank). It needed some different writing. Instead of a reboot of the live action universe, just make it a completely different AU separate from the original trilogy.

U know what I hate about this movie

1) Rowley was barely used

2) they aged the kids down, in the third movie they were headed to the 8th grade in this movie they aged them back down to 6th grade. ( also I swear these are the same outfits they had Robert & Zach in)

watching doawk: the long haul and i agree with the fandom, why does it exist. one more thing to say tho. imagine that movie, with slightly different writing and the original cast. that would’ve been GOLD. the heffley family on a roadtrip; the chaos, the fun, the shenanigans, devon bostick’s rodrick, oh the POTENTIAL-

YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK IT THE LITTLE FECKERS CAN ALL JUST SIT IN EACHOTHERS LAPS

Sad because I had a road-trip fic idea for the head counsellors (+Chris) but I didnt wanna remove Jake, Drew and Nyssa for Leo, Piper and Jason so now I either gotta pretend HoO never happened in the fic or they really just uninvited the lost trio plus the newer cabin counsellors :(

[brittle-doughie]

What if

Y/N Cookie also spoke Spanish?

sometimes saying complete sentences in Spanish and several cookies trying to figure out what he said

Something funny would be if a cookie asks for an insult in Spanish and they respond with "te amo" (i love you in Spanish) and then some cookies insult each other by saying that without knowing the meaning.

Reminds me of that one part in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Haul

[ieatadoptmepets]

Part 4 and final part of my favorite quotes/scenes from diary of a wimpy kid: rodrick rules

Every time Rowley is the only one clapping and says "yay Greg!!!'

Chirag going to ridiculous lengths to pretend to be Holly

Again with Rodrick's character development, him seeing Greg sad about the note/Holly/Chirag incident and taking him out to have fun

The comical reactions to the fake vomit

Character development!!!!!!! Greg opening up to Rodrick about Holly

"Chicks act like they're not into me but they are. I know they are" -Rodrick. Again, they have to be pathetic

The photos part 2 and the comical (take a shot every time I say comical in this series) photo of Rodrick pouring soda in the cups because this is a family movie and we can't have any innuendo with those red solo cups

The argument about the party

"You're my brother, but you'll never be my friend" -Rodrick 😭😭😭😭

Again again with the emotionalness of Rodrick

Maybe I'm the weird one but since I've watched this an ungodly amount of times I've noticed the inconsistencies. Rowley's mom is different from when they're at the mom/son dance and when Greg spends the weekend with them at the boardwalk. And then I noticed that during the talent show Rowley's mom isn't even there. On halloween, Greg and Rowley go to his grandma's house in the north part of the neighborhood. But when they go to their grandpa's retirement home, there's no grandma there. With a few things Frank has said about his dad, I think he's passed which means this is Susan's dad. And with no grandma in sight in the og trilogy you could assume Susan's mom has passed too and the grandma up north is Frank's mom. But in the long haul they road trip to see Susan's mom. I think I've watched these too much

Rodrick fake laughing so hard and spitting milk on Greg

"That is HILARIOUS grandpa [without missing a beat] read another one Greg" -Rodrick. I love the delivery Devon Bostick gives to his lines

Rodrick running around the hall reading Greg's diary

Greg not even making a noise and the old lady suddenly popping in front of the stall like mf YOU are the peeping tom

Them immediately jumping to beat Greg up

Rodrick tearing up during Patty's song in the talent show

I'm sorry but there's so many moments where Rodrick is sad and teary eyed I can't not mention it

"Can I borrow your eyeliner?" -Rodrick

The way the announcer announces loded diaper I just love the way he says it

It's tragic realizing that no one is actually singing themselves in this movie but I love Ben Segal and exploded diaper goes so hard

Rodrick kicking out Bill cause yeah!!!!!!!!!

Susan

Rodrick being nice to Greg on the way to school and then pretending to be a dick when he drops him off but the little thing he does when he leaves aughhh I love them

Watching Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul movie

and I think the absolute geyser of hate from the Internet about it was overblown. It is not at all bad. Dare I say, it's on the same level of quality as the original three.

Also?

They are BOTH my Rodrick.

Dare I say....

Charlie Wright is funnier.

I loved the family conflicts in the second and 3rd diary of a wimpy kid movies, but my official favorite is the long haul. The Heffley family is dysfunctional and flawed and the movie showed it.

They even added an extra plot and motivation and it fit perfectly.

I also liked the scenes with Greg and Rodrick getting along...we rarely get any Rodrick scenes, or Greg and Rodrick scenes.
