Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

R.V. (2006): Dir: Barry Sonnenfeld / Cast: Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, Josh Hutcherson, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, Kristin Chenoweth: One glance at this film gives off the feeling that the vehicle is a metaphor for unity particularly the family in question who spend a lot of heartache and agitation with it. Simple plot has Robin Williams bypassing his promised family vacation to Hawaii in favour of an R.V. trip to Colorado but he fails to inform them that it is all business to save his job. Screenplay compiles many road movie clichés yet it concludes with one of its best jokes. It stays focused on the R.V. for a majority of the humour, which is a plus considering the formula driven plot. Not nearly as funny as the Chevy Chase Vacation series but it does serve as a very different project for director Barry Sonnenfeld whose credits include Men in Black and the terrible Wild Wild West. Williams is the only casting to hold strong as he struggles to maintain his family and the vehicle itself. Cheryl Hines as his wife isn't given enough to do. Josh Hutcherson and Joanna "JoJo" Levesque play the bickering children. Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth play another couple they encounter and they come off as awkwardly bizarre. Theme regards the importance of family but it also uses the R.V itself to master much of the humour. While the material is flat it still should render its appeal to families. Score: 6 ½ / 10

Well, it's no masterpiece. But it is extremely entertaining.This was, for a long time, my family's favorite movie, and I've seen it countless times. Only after what was probably 20 or even 30 viewings did this movie start to lose its humor. It truly is funny and will be enjoyed by the whole family, kids and adults alike.Robin Williams is in top form, adding to the script and his performance with lines and details only he could have thought up. His delivery is perfect and highly comedic.The rest of the cast? Well, they're not going to win any awards. The acting is mediocre, and certainly doesn't compare to Williams' performance, but it is not horrible. They are still funny, although they mainly set the stage for Williams to perform.The situations the Monroes get themselves into are just too funny. Their family dynamic is relatable and down-to-earth - but still crazy, of course!As for the humor itself, it is very, very much potty humor. Although there are occasional witty comments thrown out, the majority of the laughs come from gross, stupid occurrences as opposed to carefully constructed and intelligent remarks.To be honest, the quality of the movie is probably more deserving of an eight or seven out of ten, but I have a soft spot for this movie and would recommend it to anyone.

In the vein of the Chevy Chase classic National Lampoons Vacation, In an effort to spend some time with his family during the school holidays, Robin Williams takes them on a trip across America in a RV. That's where the similarities with the 80's comedy classic end as Robin Williams, who has saved worse movies than this, has his work well and truly cut out here.Singer Jo-Jo pops up as Williams daughter and Jeff Daniels has a decent role as an eager to help fellow RV driver on the road with his family too, and Not even he can help Williams save it. Williams is watchable as always, but if I had to choose between rewatching this and going to a firework display on a very rainy night. RV would probably lose.

My brother has subscribed to a choice TV and as he asked me to pick one movie, i tried this one. I have seen the poster in an X-men comics i have read lately (maybe « Astonishing ») and i was craving for a movie family about vacations. In addition, Williams is such a good actor who surprisingly seems to have disappeared just like that (is he trapped in a lamp ?). Right from the start, you can see this modern « RV » is far from « NL Vacation » : the kids appear less well educated, the wife is money addicted, Williams is the poodle of his boss. Thus, they goes into vacation without heart and the movie is deeply impacted by their negative attitude : it's not really funny, the other family is just boring and the RV just looks like a studio set with blue screen. Maybe the relation between Williams and his daughter is interesting and the final comes as a surprise : for one time, we have a worker saying sh#t to his boss and prefers to be unemployed with a family becoming supportive.
