The best joke is that the RV in question gets 4 miles to the gallon. With mileage like that, not even Hollywood is going to be able to afford the next road-trip film.

Consensus: An unoriginal and only occasionally funny family road-trip movie, RV is a mediocre effort that not even the charisma of Robin Williams can save.
Theatrical Release:09-06-2006
Synopsis: 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... [More]

Reviews for RV
Exceedingly juvenile and strained of any colorful imagination not to mention hopelessly lame, RV is a colossally clunky vehicle in every sense of the word.

What follows plays a lot like National Lampoon's Vacation, only without that film's refreshing sense of cruelty
04/28/06
Invariably, each summer vacation movie can be judged by the quality of its obligatory gag related to going to the bathroom in the wilderness or amid the complications of foreign plumbing.

Sonnenfeld tries to do for recreational vehicle vacations what Airplane! did for air travel. And, as evidenced by the film's many big laughs, he mainly succeeds.
04/28/06
Unfunny, sappy and massively predictable.
04/28/06
About the best thing to be said about Barry Sonnenfeld's formulaic comedy of family dysfunction is that once you get past the lengthy, graphic geyser-of-liquid-excrement gag, it's not as irredeemably vulgar as it might have been.
04/28/06
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.
04/28/06
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.
04/28/06
Even if you survive the barrage of recycled jokes, after watching this film, you'll never want to go RVing.
04/28/06
RV is a horrible movie about horrible people, and just because they call it a comedy doesn't mean we have to play along.
04/28/06
After V for Vendetta, there comes RV, as in RV for Really Vapid. Amusing, in spots, but still a vapor trail.
04/28/06
During an extended scatological sequence early in RV, the previously unthinkable becomes undeniable: Robin Williams is actually too dignified for some material. What he's required to do in this movie is beneath him, not to mention all over him.
04/28/06
Considering all the movies not being shown to critics this year, why did the studio choose this one to subject us to?
04/28/06
Early in RV, the bratty kids take one look at the titular vehicle and pronounce it a 'big, rolling turd.' The same can be said for Barry Sonnenfeld's woefully unfunny family comedy, a scattershot mess that marks a new low for Robin Williams.
04/28/06
It's about as funny as an explosion in a septic tank.
04/28/06
Cheesy, sappy, full of obvious slapstick and the odd Robin Williams power-improv -- it's National Lampoon's Vacation without the stupidity or the Chevy Chase.
04/28/06
The good news about the Robin Williams comedy RV is that it's not as bad as the TV commercials make it seem.
04/28/06
Yet another aggressively inoffensive family road-trip movie, only with Robin Williams in the Clark Griswold role, and it's pleasant and formulaic and nice looking without bothering to be terribly funny.
