DVD Reviews of RV (Full Screen Edition)

DVD Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars

Best movie I've seen in a long time. I didn't stop laughing from start to finish.

DVD Review: Very funny movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is another very funny Robin Williams Movie. Great for the whole family to see

DVD Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

We never get tired of watching this movie. It makes us really laugh. It's a nice change from all the sexual and violent movies nowadays.

DVD Review: RV
Summary: 3 Stars

This movie had its moments of humor, but those moments of stupidity more than outnumber them. Robin Williams attempts to carry the movie but he falls a bit short (as he does in many of his recent endeavors). The plot is weak but the sheer farcity of it does give the viewer a chuckle or two. But for the most part this movie is a waste of time.

DVD Review: Not a gem, and almost not bad either...
Summary: 2 Stars

Robin Williams has come down to not-so-good days of late. If you remember the work he's done in "Good Will Hunting", "Bicentennial Man', "Patch Adams" and, why, even 'Mork & Mindy", you'd know what I'm talking about.

Happened to see this movie recently on a rental DVD, and was mildly disappointed. The Monroe family had so much potential in terms of the humor that Robin is known to inculcate into the plot & characters, that seeing the formulae unfold was a let-down.

Williams plays a hard-working executive, doing all he can to appease his tyrannical boss, who is threatening to replace Williams with someone from the younger generation. Williams knows that if he loses this job, he and his family will lose not just a paycheck, but, as he puts it, "a lifestyle". With so much at stake, it is only valid that he try and make ends meet, no matter what it takes.

With that in mind, he cancels the family's Hawaii vacation, promising them an even better vacation in the mountains of Colorado (so that he can attend an important meeting which coincidentally happens to be at the same place!), and en-route there, in the RV that he has rented for them all.

What ensues is a rather slapstick, formulaic story with the husband trying to be funny while making ends meet, the family always making fun of him (and often with good reason), and the friendly RV family they happen to meet on the way just adds to the fun.

There are elements I found I had seen used to much better effect in some other movies, and that's also why I was dejected with this movie.

In a single stroke - it tries to be funny, but only ends up being silly.

2 / 5 (only because of William's enthusiasm!)

Description of RV (Full Screen Edition)

Bob munro an overworked exec persuades his wife & kids to give up their hawaiian vacation for some family bonding on a cross country rv trip. Through a series of mis-adventures including constant run-ins with an overly friendly troupe of full-time rvers bob inadvertently learns the true meaning of family. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 01/22/2008 Starring: Robin Williams Cheryl Hines Run time: 99 minutes Rating: Pg

The long tradition of family vacation comedies continues in RV, with Robin Williams doing his best to keep things amusing. He succeeds, for the most part, by downplaying his manic persona and settling comfortably into his role as well-meaning husband and father Bob Munro. Determined to combine work and pleasure, Bob rents the titular motor home to drive his wife (Cheryl Hines), teenage daughter (Joanna "JoJo" Levesque) and pre-teen son (Josh Hutcherson) on a scenic vacation in the Colorado Rockies while secretly preparing his presentation for a high-stakes corporate merger. Their dysfunctional road trip leads to repeated encounters with the all-too-happy Gornicke family (led by Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth), who only appear to be stupid rednecks, when in fact they represent the familial togetherness that Bob is striving to regain. As directed by comedy veteran Barry Sonnenfeld (whose image as "Irv" the RV rental king is plastered across the side of the Munro's RV), these warm-and-fuzzy sentiments are strictly by-the-numbers, along with plenty of jokes about raw sewage, scavenging raccoons, and RV's run amuck. There aren't any real highlights, and the outcome is utterly predictable, but RV delivers enough comedy to qualify as an enjoyable diversion. Those who remember Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Vincente Minnell's 1954 hit The Long, Long Trailer may find RV similarly entertaining. --Jeff Shannon
