RV (DVD)

Workaholic Bob Munro yearns for the days when his family was the centre of his life and he of theirs. But his wife's too busy to spend time with him, his daughter's a snotty teenager and his son's developing a bad attitude. So Bob thinks a family holiday will sort it all out. But at the last minute he's chosen to do a big presentation for his company across the country and has to put his trip to Hawaii on hold. But instead of telling his family, ...
...a road trip. Big mistake… There was a time when director Barry Sonnenfeld could be relied upon to produce genuinely funny films to entertain the whole family; look at "The Addams Family" and "Men in Black". But the times they are a-changing and not for the better, I might add. I though "Men in Black 2" was bad enough, but it's nothing compared to this pile of toilet-humour infused dross. Not only does Sonnenfeld rely on the lowest form of film humour ...

Review of RV (DVD)

Having just read three other reviews on ciao for this movie I feel as they are all pretty negative and this is one of my sons and my favourite family movies I will try to put across why this movie is actually worth watching and not just once maybe even two or three times. I was browsing in the supermarket when I thought I'd pick up a movie to watch over the weekend with my son who was 7 at the time of buying it. Luckily my son and I have very similar ...
...star wars and indiana jones movies! Not saying they are bad movies ,because they are great movies, but to watch them day in and day out over and over.... !!! Anyway back to this film 'RV' I spotted the movie and seeing it was on the bargain shelf at around £3.00 and seeing that it had Robin Williams (who i'm a fan of) I read the back of the DVD quickly and decided .. HEY ..! Why not ?? so into the basket it went . So the weekend arrives pop corn ...

...arise. He hires an RV and is given no instruction as to its various functions and has not been asked if he has ever driven anything like it? That I find unlikely! Their trip to his business meeting is of course plagued with problems, all of which they fully deserve. Everything that happens to this family, they deserve. The whole fact that they learnt a lesson is supposed to be a resolution at the end of the film. Even the way they treat the other ...
...Robin Williams is supposed to be the main comedy name carrying this film but none of the situations he is put in are very funny at all. The seatbelt gag is stupid. There are tribes in the amazon who have never seen cars that would have worked out a seatbelt faster. The fact they insult us by trying the same gag twice? He deserves to lose his laptop and is an idiot. He clearly should have said no to his boss when he asked him to do this report and ...

Review of RV (DVD)

...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 ...
...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. ...
