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. The always hilarious Robin Williams 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 embarks on a search for quality time in the land of Manifest Destiny. With his frustrated wife Jamie (the always stellar Cheryl Hines of TV's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), rapper-wannabe son Carl (Josh Hutcherson), and angsty daughter Cassie (Joanna Levesque, best known as a tween pop singer), la famiglia Munro is Westward Ho. However, white-collar Bob's lack of adeptness 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 yodeling, 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 knee-slapping turn by Will Arnett (Gob on TV's ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), that makes RV so memorable.Read full review
Nice family friendly movie, Robin Williams is hilarious as always. Takes his family to Mount Washington in Colorado instead of there normal trip to Hawaii. He rents a RV and everything spirals out of control from there. His job was in jeopardy and did everything he could to hide what he was really up to. Runs into a crazy family at a RV park, Jeff Daniels family and the craziness takes off. Definitely would recommend

This blu-ray disc is very clear. The Munroe Family is scheduled to go to Hawaii for their family vacation whe Mr. Munroe's boss informs him that the proposal is due weeks earlier and that he must attend a presentation in Colorado. Fearing the consequences of telling his wife and family, he comes up with another plan. Mr. Munroe (Played by Robin Wlliams) decides to rent a RV and shows up at their house with it. He travels with his Laptop and Blackberry to keep communications with his Boss - without his family knowing. He works on the proposal in the evening while the family sleeps. He lost good productive time when they meet a family an RV Park they stopped at and had dinner with them. During their trip to Colorado, they keep running into this family and they begin chasing the Munroe's - little did Mr. Munroe realize that his LAPTOP is no longer with him but with the other family. Good laugh out loud laughs.Read full review
