    R.V. is a movie that pretends to be funny and to entertain people. It does entertain but for a very little time, it has some funny moments and jokes maybe 15 minutes in total the rest its just really annoying and ridiculous . The cast including Robin Williams, Jeff Daniels, Joan...( read more)na "Jojo" Levesque and Kristin Chenoweth is good but the performances not so much, I don't know why Robin Williams accepts this type of roles its just doesn't deserve this. It is really a shame to see JoJo trying to act and Jeff Daniels wasn't in his best roles either. In conclusion, you can watch this movie only if you don't have something better to do or watch.

    Robin Williams plays a dad who takes his family on a vacation in an RV with hilarious consequences. Movie also stars Cheryl Hines and Jeff Daniels.

    Robin Williams is cool, so I guess that's a plus.

    Robin Williams was on sedatives for most of this one, but I think he was trying hard to be the semi-happily married businessman has was casted to be. The kids were just a little over the top but accurate enough examples of their generation. There were great slapstick scenes and s...( read more)ome decent toilet humor that owners and renters of RVs can relate to more than others. Avoiding the sweet as pie family was very funny. The way they destroyed the RV at every turn, made me think a little too much about how Robin was going to pay for it especially since he loses his job at the end, but wait, the little Ben and Jerry type owners save the day.

    Overall, a good film to pass the time but don't expect this one to be remembered.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Unfunny, sappy and massively predictable. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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

Kyle Smith, New York Post

RV has laughs spilling out of its overhead bins. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Who recommended RV to Robin Williams is among the film's many mysteries. Why he took the role is another. full review

April 28, 2006
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

RV has teeth -- more teeth than the last few Steve Martin films, anyway -- but it's terrified to bite down, knowing that the paying audience would feel it more than anyone. full review

April 28, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There is nothing I much disliked but little to really recommend. full review

April 27, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's painful to see Williams, a famously inventive cutup, stuck in a film that finds humor in a man covered in liquid poo or clinging to the windshield wipers of a runaway vehicle. There already is an... full review

Having recently written Disney's remake of The Shaggy Dog, Geoff Rodkey now unsubtly revisits National Lampoon's Vacation with RV. full review
