Many fans of the franchise expressed a lot of anger at all the recasting for this film, especially when it came to Rodrick, spawning the popular meme "#notmyrodrick", a parody of the "#notmypresident" trend that became popular after the election of President Donald Trump.
Jeff Kinney expressed interest in making the film animated.
Because the release dates of this film and the previous Diary of a Wimpy Kid film are so spaced apart, child actors such as Zachary Gordon from the previous films did not reprise their roles due to being too old for their characters. Also many of the adult actors had begun working on other projects. So it was the easiest decision to invite an entire new cast for the film.
The short script shared for auditioners feature lines from both Hard Luck and The Long Haul.
Originally Rowley was going to have a larger role in the film than in the book, in which he only appears in one flashback illustration that was in the book. However he only had a small part in the beginning and ending of the movie much like in the book. So this marks the first film where he only has a minor role. Chirag, Patty, Holly, Heather and Fregley are not shown in this film at all although when Greg and Rodrick are on the Alien Abduction ride at the county fair when Greg escapes from Mr Beardo there is a girl on the ride with pigtails that slightly resembles Patty.
"Susan Heffley: Greg Heffley! You are grounded for life!"
"Manny Heffley: I'm texting. Susan Heffley: Oh, no. No devices on this trip. Greg: What do you mean? Susan Heffley: This is an unplugged road trip. No phones. No iPads. No internet. Rodrick Heffley: What? Susan Heffley: Just family time. The only connecting we're gonna do is with each other. Everyone, hand over your devices. Greg: You tricked us! Greg: This is totally not cool. Greg: Kids at school get way more screen time than I do! Rodrick Heffley: I'm not giving up my phone. Greg: Yeah! If he's not givin' up his phone, I'm not givin' up mine. Rodrick Heffley: If he's not giving up, I'm not giving up. Who do you think you are bossing us around? Greg: You want me to read. I'm reading text! What's the difference?"
