RV Reviews
A disappointment for both Robin Williams and Men In Black director Barry Sonnenfeld, this vacation-from-hell plotline quickly grows tedious
| Jul 23, 2008
Williams' virtuoso hijinking and Daniels' Huggy Bearish bonhomie save this from complete ignominy, but we've seen it all before.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 1, 2006
Not unbearably terrible, just thoroughly mediocre.

RV is a well written comedy and welcome evidence of Williams' talent as a comic actor.

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.

Outsized huckster idiocy...
| Original Score: C- | May 3, 2006
It probably sounded like a swell idea in the pitch meeting.

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

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

I think at this point somebody needs to tell Robin Williams that the whole white-guy hip-hop routine was played out around 1997.

Unfunny, sappy and massively predictable.

While there's certain promise to a comedy about a family that's almost utterly loathesome (it worked for the Addamses, didn't it?) it's necessary that the movie think so, too.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 28, 2006
RV is another disturbing entry in the dark cycle of movies that began for Robin Williams with One Hour Photo and Insomnia. I look forward with queasy dread to what he'll do in Mrs. Doubtfire 2.

Even if you survive the barrage of recycled jokes, after watching this film, you'll never want to go RVing.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 28, 2006
RV is a horrible movie about horrible people, and just because they call it a comedy doesn't mean we have to play along.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 28, 2006
It's about as funny as an explosion in a septic tank.

RV has laughs spilling out of its overhead bins.

Had director Barry Sonnenfeld spent more time on sing-alongs and barbecues with the two families and less on Bob's punishing job and bad driving, RV might have gotten more happy campers.
