Bob Munro (Williams) is overworked and overstressed, and though his proposal to hit the road with his wife and two children at first sounds like a heartfelt bid to get better acquainted with his increasingly dysfunctional family, it soon becomes obvious that he had more career-oriented goals in mind when planning the trip. The Munros have always managed to get by in the past, though, and as they slowly become immersed in RV culture with a little help from a full-time troupe of Winnebago warriors, they might just make it to the Rocky Mountains without driving each other totally insane. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Without my little review here sounding too cliched this film could be and pretty much is a sequel to the classic Chevy Chase vehicles 'National Lampoon's'.

    Its pretty much a by the numbers light hearted comedy set in the wilderness as Robin Williams tries to give his family a fu... read moren packed vacation and spent more time with them. Despite being very very predictable and completely unoriginal the film is actually quite amusing and very watchable.

    Yes you know what will happen with every setup and yes Williams is being his own 'Clarke Griswold' but damn it its fun. Williams is a likeable fun guy and the family casting isn't too bad either, Hutcherson as a body building obsessed wannabe 'homie' is actually quite funny but Jeff Daniels as the slightly religious, thick tashed rodeo type does grate, his character and family I guess are the 'cousin Eddie' n co of the plot.

    Sonnenfeld is a good director of family films and he does a fine job here it has to be said even if the film is nothing new.

    R.V is a fairly enjoyable comedy. I didn't expect that the film would be funny, entertaining or good for that matter. But I was pleasantly surprised. Robin Williams and Jeff Daniels are great here, and it's what makes this film work. R.V. is underrated and has good laughs because... read more of the lead. Robin Williams is always a pleasure to watch on-screen, and in this film he brings on good laughs. R.V. is lot of fun, and is a good comedy for what it is. I enjoyed the film, and found that there were some good comedy bits here and there. R.V isn't a great film, but it's far from an awful film. The film is a good for what it is, and it's lots of fun. The film is entertaining and though it's nothing great, I think the film isn't as bad as what many people have claimed it to be. R.V. is an entertaining film that has a decent cast with a good lead, and Robin Williams definitely makes this film work. I enjoyed the film, and It's far better than what many people have claimed it to be. This a fun film to watch, and is underrated in my opinion. The film is much better than you might think. Of course, it's not a perfect comedy, but it definitely is a good one. I've seen worse films than this. R.V. has a good cast that keeps the jokes rolling, and the fact that Robin Williams stars in this is what really makes this film work. A good, fun and entertaining comedy film that shouldn't easily be dismissed.

    Not funny or fun, I did not enjoy this, horrible film.

    I really enjoyed this. A real feel good family film. Quite funny at times too. A must see!

    Sure, it's full of stupid, unintelligible humor, but at least it's all extremely hilarious!

    Surprisingly, I liked Jose Hutcherson here more than others. He was the funniest one over here. This movie was great (except the shit thing).

    A dumb, fun family adventure that is not very satisfying. However it holds enough dumb family laughs to keep anyone intrigued. It is a decent film with a few laughs. I mildly enjoyed it, but there is just something about it that I really like!

    That Root canal your dentist talked to you about will seem like a walk in the park after you've watched this movie. The plot was weak, the direction was just sad, and it was all just a confusing mess. The humor was very weak, (though it will probably be enough to satisfy younger ... read morechildren) and it saddens me to see Robin Williams charm wasted in this movie.

    One of the best Robin Williams movies, especially here lately. The drama works well enough, but the laughs is where this movie goes into overdrive! About all I can say about it, you need to see it for yourself, which I highly recommend doing!

Robin Williams tricks us into believing he can control his inner maniac beyond the film's first 15 minutes; when he fails, any hopes of RV going off-formula are dashed.

Outsized huckster idiocy... Full Review

It probably sounded like a swell idea in the pitch meeting.

RV works up an ingratiating sweetness that partially compensates for its blunt predictability and meager laughs. Full Review

A workmanlike family comedy with enough pratfalls and poo jokes for tykes and enough sentimentality for parents. Full Review

I think at this point somebody needs to tell Robin Williams that the whole white-guy hip-hop routine was played out around 1997. Full Review

Unfunny, sappy and massively predictable. Full Review

While there's certain promise to a comedy about a family that's almost utterly loathesome (it worked for the Addamses, didn't it?) it's necessary that the movie think so, too. Full Review

RV is a horrible movie about horrible people, and just because they call it a comedy doesn't mean we have to play along. Full Review

Considering all the movies not being shown to critics this year, why did the studio choose this one to subject us to? Full Review
