A family film for the Instant Messenger age, RV takes a humorous look at a mostly functional suburban family's attempt to get away from it all on a rare vacation. Robin Williams...
more...plays Bob Munro, a beaten-down middle manager who feels alienated from the family he works so hard to keep comfortable. Upon his insistence, the Munro family rents an RV and goes on holdiat. With his frustrated wife Jamie (the always stellar Cheryl Hines of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), rapper-wannabe son Carl (Josh Hutcherson), and angsty daughter Cassie (Joanna Levesque, best known as a pop singer), the Munro family set off on their holiday. However, white-collar Bob's ineptness at handling the monstrous vehicle causes plenty of amusing chaos. Thank God for the kindness of strangers--in this case, a couple of endearing oddballs played by Jeff Daniels (who proved his comedic chops in the DUMB AND DUMBER films) and Kristin Chenoweth. As Travis and Mary Jo, two obsessive RV-ers with a penchant for barbecues, beer, and yodelling, they serve as the Middle-American heart and soul of the film, much smarter and savvier than cultural stereotypes write them off as being. Seasoned comedy director Barry Sonnenfield (MEN IN BLACK, WILD, WILD WEST) proves that he has mastered the intelligent comedy, and Williams, particularly in moments that are improvised, proves his brilliance once again. But it is the uniformly excellent supporting cast, in particular a stunning turn by Will Arnett (Gob on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), that makes RV so memorable.

Review of RV (DVD) by afy9mab

Advantages: Jeff Daniels and Krisitin Chenoweth bring oodles of energy to their roles
Disadvantages: It's lacklustre in all depertments

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, he ... Read review

RV ....RUNAWAY VACATION... ROBIN WILLIAMS MOVIE ,FAMILY COMEDY!!!
Review of RV (DVD) by bobbetta

Advantages: Funny ,has Robin Williams in it-can watch it with the kids -though I'd have watched it on my own
Disadvantages: dry kind of humour(which I like) BUT-some people don't get it

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 ... Read review

Ridiculously Vapid
Review of RV (DVD) by atytyut2434

Advantages: None at all, its awful from start to finish
Disadvantages: Not funny in the slightest

...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 ... Read review

RV - Not what I Expected
Review of RV (DVD) by donna_haden

Advantages: Easy going comedy
Disadvantages: Not what you'd expect from Robin Williams

...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 ... Read review
