What are critics saying?

Variety by Courtney Howard

It establishes its own identity, occasionally improving upon its cinematic predecessor enough to make it a worthwhile watch.

The A.V. Club by Jesse Hassenger

It seems questionable whether this was really intended as a movie in the first place.

The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold

The movie, directed by Swinton O. Scott III, plays like an extended series pilot, built out of largely interchangeable episodes.

Screen Rant by Sarah Bea Milner

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a mediocre children's film that — 11 years after the first movie and 14 years after the initial hit book — feels at best derivative, and at worst unnecessary.
