Kinney, Jeff / May 15, 2017
The Long Haul book and movies are infamous for their hate. But, what about the book describing how the movie was made? The first three Wimpy Kid movies each got books dedicated to them about the production and history of them. And of course, the fourth book got this treatment too, just a month acter the film released. Here's what I think about it.
The first 3 diaries have a start about how the previous movie went and why they started production on a movie. But this one starts with a story about Kinney and his family on a road trip and how this impacted The Long Haul forty years later, which I feel is a pretty mediocre start. But, then again, if it had the same start as the first one, I’d just call it a cash grab.
While the book is quite informative, it’s not that funny. The first three editions had very informative and funny ways of telling what happened in the film, specifically with the drawings. But Kinney tries to make it like that by dissing on the characters’.. hairs? Anyways, it’s not funny.
I’d just watch behind the scenes clips instead of getting this book. Thank gosh for audiobooks.
