Editorial Review:
The long tradition of family vacation comedies continues in RV, with Robin Williams doing his best to keep things amusing. He succeeds, for the most part, by downplaying his manic persona and settling comfortably into his role as well-meaning husband and father Bob Munro. Determined to combine work and pleasure, Bob rents the titular motor home to drive his wife (Cheryl Hines), teenage daughter (Joanna "JoJo" Levesque) and pre-teen son (Josh Hutcherson) on a scenic vacation in the Colorado Rockies while secretly preparing his presentation for a high-stakes corporate merger. Their dysfunctional road trip leads to repeated encounters with the all-too-happy Gornicke family (led by Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth), who only appear to be stupid rednecks, when in fact they represent the familial togetherness that Bob is striving to regain. As directed by comedy veteran Barry Sonnenfeld (whose image as "Irv" the RV rental king is plastered across the side of the Munro's RV), these warm-and-fuzzy sentiments are strictly by-the-numbers, along with plenty of jokes about raw sewage, scavenging raccoons, and RV's run amuck. There aren't any real highlights, and the outcome is utterly predictable, but RV delivers enough comedy to qualify as an enjoyable diversion. Those who remember Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Vincente Minnell's 1954 hit The Long, Long Trailer may find RV similarly entertaining. --Jeff Shannon
In Columbia Pictures' family adventure-comedy RV an overworked executive Bob Munro (Robin Williams) persuades his wife and children to give up their Hawaiian vacation for some 'family bonding' on a cross-country RV trip. But it's all a ruse. Bob has other more career-oriented reasons on his mind than sending quality time with his family in the Rocky Mountains. Through a series if misadventures including constant run-ins with an overly friendly troupe of full-time RV'ers Bob inadvertently learns the true meaning of family.System Requirements:Running Time: 99 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 043396148307 Manufacturer No: 14830

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very funny movie
This is another very funny Robin Williams Movie. Great for the whole family to see
Rating: - Great movie
We never get tired of watching this movie. It makes us really laugh. It's a nice change from all the sexual and violent movies nowadays.
Rating:  - RV
This movie had its moments of humor, but those moments of stupidity more than outnumber them. Robin Williams attempts to carry the movie but he falls a bit short (as he does in many of his recent endeavors). The plot is weak but the sheer farcity of it does give the viewer a chuckle or two. But for the most part this movie is a waste of time.
Rating:  - Not a gem, and almost not bad either...
Robin Williams has come down to not-so-good days of late. If you remember the work he's done in "Good Will Hunting", "Bicentennial Man', "Patch Adams" and, why, even 'Mork & Mindy", you'd know what I'm talking about.
Happened to see this movie recently on a rental DVD, and was mildly disappointed. The Monroe family had so much potential in terms of the humor that Robin is known to inculcate into the plot & characters, that seeing the formulae unfold was a let-down.

Rating: - RV - family friendly with jr. high humor
This is a pretty good family comedy. Robin William's character is trying to bond with his adolescent children. The kids are reluctant to spend time with mom and dad and the friction is realistic and funny. The Gornicke family is a bright spot. There are a lot of laughs, but be prepared to leave reality at the door because the writers obviously did just that. I personally have no problem with predictable endings, but this one felt a little tacked on.
The casting was good and the ... Read More
