What We Think

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is pretty much a non-woke family comedy. Its focus stays on misadventures, not lecturing audiences or pushing trendy themes. If you’re wary of modern Hollywood’s ‘woke’ wave, this is about as non-threatening as it gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul sticks closely to the original book’s tone and character focus. Identity politics and forced representation are virtually absent; the story revolves around family hijinks and relatable kid antics. Any changes to the cast or tone are standard Hollywood fare rather than ideologically driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics lie at the heart of the film, with occasional, mild humor at the expense of fathers or family roles, but nothing particularly subversive. Religion, traditional morality, and culture remain neutral or untouched, so it’s difficult to find any overt undermining of foundational values here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film pays little attention to ideology of any stripe. Alternative viewpoints aren’t really present, but the film doesn’t take a strong ideological stance or ridicule traditional norms. Instead, it just aims for broad kid-friendly entertainment, sidestepping modern political messaging.
