Robin Williams is the dad who longs for the time when his family actually needed him and wanted him around. With his stroppy teenage daughter and wannabe muscleman son ignoring him he's trying to spend a bit of time with them before it's too late. After booking one last holiday together to Hawaii before his two children go off their seperate ways for the rest of the summer, there plans are ruined when his overpowering boss tells him he has to cancel in order to do a presentation to a company they're trying to take national. Instead of just telling his wife his problems he decides to go out and rent an Rv and drag his family across america to be near the presentation. As you'd expect nothing goes smoothly from being covered in human waste to being attacked by a raccoon, in the RV everything that could go wrong does. They meet another family who live in their RV and are very amusing, especially when they seem to latch on to them and appear everywhere they do. With all the singing and stupidity you think their a bit simple until you realise they've actually got everything the other family are trying to achieve and more. This certainly isn't one of the best Robin Williams films but it is mildly amusing in parts and some of the scenes are memorable, even if it is for the wrong reasons. Not sure i'd reccommend this but it is an alright film to just see for the sake of seeing it.
