Williams and Sonnenfeld ... get more mileage out of this vehicle than you'd expect.

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
if getting rained on by fecal matter and fisticuffs with ferocious raccoons (played by three tracks of off-camera Foley-SFX) tickle your funny-bone, then by all means board this trailer-park dump.

Unoriginal and unfunny, Barry Sonnenfeld's RV puts yet another dysfunctional family though the paces of yet another summer vacation.
04/28/06
Jokes that don't work the first time are dragged out interminably and then repeated. And the syrupy little lessons about the importance of family values are forced and synthetic.
04/28/06
... a silly though entertaining movie which - alas - also shows how low the standards have fallen for family films.
04/28/06
Color me surprised when Barry Sonnenfeld's family comedy turned out to be a palatable picture that doesn't rob Robin Williams of his dignity as a comic actor.
04/28/06
There is nothing I much disliked but little to really recommend.

Top CriticWhy a man with the gifts Sonnenfeld has would expend so much effort in making a poo geyser look interesting, I have no idea.

Williams' appearance in this film is the biggest casting faux pas since Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Kevin Costner in almost anything he does

I would rather watch Cheryl Hines sing along hilariously to G.T.O. than hear Robin Williams crouching behind a tree hoping to convince his family he has diarrhea. Criminally, Sonnenfeld feels the opposite.

This is quite possibly the dumbest movie ever made.

For the first 10 minutes, RV is an awesome movie. After that, you'll wish you were watching it at home on DVD, so you could take it out of the player and whip it like a frisbee across the room

R.V. is another one of those movies wherein characters must eventually empty the septic tank on their motor home... but the film goes through with the tired joke anyway.
04/27/06
It's another substandard comedy about a family vacation that goes to hell, and then inexplicably rises to cloud nine, thanks to the exhaustive emasculation of the father, but at least this one has a poop geyser.
04/27/06
Robin Williams dials things down a notch or two for `RV,' and that proves to be just the right volume level for director Barry Sonnenfeld's tolerably manic family comedy.
04/27/06
It's tolerable in stretches.
04/27/06
RV is Vacation for people who loved Flubber.
04/27/06
the RV shows up, and everything that was seemingly clever about Geoff Rodkey's script gets bashed over the head by slapstick comedy choreography and rank toilet humor
04/27/06
Crowd-pleasing, undemanding fun.
04/27/06
You know what to expect from a Robin Williams vehicle. R.V. is better than what you expect.
