Bob Munro and his dysfunctional family rent an RV for a road trip to the Colorado Rockies, where they ultimately have to contend with a bizarre community of campers. RV benefits strictly from the late and great Robin William's talent, Josh Hutcherson as a little rapper and that freaking Stallone impression was spot on. Jeff Daniels was also amazing and there's some great messages about parenting alongside the great humor this is definitely one of Robin's most Underrated Works. (8/10)

While "RV" won't join "Good Morning Vietnam", "Dead Poets Society", "Aladdin" or "Mrs Doubtfire" as Robin William's greatest films, it's still worth a look on a lazy/rainy day.Robin Williams plays a father of two ("Curb Your Enthusiam"s Cheryl Hines plays his wife) who - due to pressures at work (Will Arnett plays a fantastic a**hole boss) - changes the family trip from Hawaii to Colorado to make an important presentation. He hires an RV and hijinks ensue as they meet a seemingly hick family in an RV park (played by Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth).There's a lot of silly slapstick stunts in this movie (like Robin being covered in the RV's sewage), though a scene where Robin saves his son from a group of wannaba wigga basketballer teens shows his improv skills.If you're in the mood for an inoffensive, family-friendly, slapstick heavy ninety minutes, then you could do worse than watch "RV".

So ordinary. I suppose that Robin would hate to hear me say that. But I'm sorry, what those of us who loved Robin Williams' comedy actually loved was his imagination. And there is little of that here. Robin didn't write it, didn't direct it, didn't produce it. Which is probably why pretty much any comic actor could have made the same film. And it would have been funny. And it is funny...but it is not Robin Williams funny.The premise is pretty predictable. Middle aged father realizes his teen-aged children are drifting away from him, So, he gets the bright idea to rent a huge RV and travel to Colorado...instead of going to Hawaii for vacation...because in an RV, there will be togetherness, where in Hawaii the kids would have been off finding their own things to do. Good plan, but of course, everything goes wrong.The predictability factor comes in here. All the things that go wrong are mostly uninspired. But funny. Toilet sewage backs up. They are evicted from the RV by raccoons. They keep running into another RV-ing family they don't want to associated with. And on and on. In the meantime, there's some corporate intrigue which is tearing Williams away from his family.Robin Williams does fine as an ordinary comedic actor. Jeff Daniels is entertaining as the other RV-er. Cheryl Hines is refreshing as Williams' wife. Kristin Chenoweth is good as Daniels' wife. Joanna "JoJo" Levesque does okay as Williams' daughter, Josh Hutcherson is better as the son. Everybody does their job, mostly rather well.So, how good a movie you think this is will depend on what you are looking for. If you're looking for a fun comedy family movie, this very good, with good laughs, and a good moral point. If you're looking for Robin Williams at his zany creative best, you'll need to look elsewhere, and probably back several years before this film, before Robin seemed to feel he had to make movie after movie after movie and was far more selective.

RV: Runaway Vacation is an awful movie with a terribly written storyline and a mostly good cast that deserved so much better than this.From the very first scene of the movie I was thinking it was going to be fun,Robin Williams was simply playing with his child and clearly improvising his lines,and it made me feel like this was going to be very enjoyable,and then every single scene after that was a disaster.The humour is ridiculous and not once (excluding the very first scene) did I laugh,it was too childish for anyone over the age of seven,and there is literally nothing funny in it for adults to enjoy.It sickens me that the late great Robin Williams is in this movie,because not even his likable personality could save it,Cheryl Hines and Jeff Daniels are two other great actors that made a huge mistake when they signed on to do this movie.Lacking a very little amount of fun that you would obviously want in a family movie and generally unlikeable characters,I would recommend RV: Runaway Vacation to absolutely nobody.
