Critic Reviews

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    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.

  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    Outsized huckster idiocy...

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

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

  • Justin Chang, Variety

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

  • Jordan Harper, Village Voice

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

    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… More

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

  • Bethany M


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

  • Alexander D


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

  • Dead A


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