SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It's a very rare occurrence for me to switch off a film before it's finished. Otherwise I would feel as if I couldn't give it a proper critique, like I can't judge a film based on the first act. But after 45 minutes and seven or eight humourless scenes about toilets, I had to call it a day and switch over to Mrs Doubtfire.You know, what's saddest of all about this film is Robin Williams. He seemed to care less about the film than I did. He's forced into reading abysmally unfunny lines about feces and GPS systems. With Robin, all you really needed to do is place him in front of a camera, call action, and he did the rest. This garbage just doesn't give him the opportunity to display his comic genius.

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

Due to the passing of Robin into the next world, his films are playing plentifully this week. I had never even heard of this one. So glad I got to see it today.I was in the process of googling/saving "natural remedies for depression" (since I'm long-term out of my meds & unable to pay my psychiatrist right now) when this came on. Long story short, my depression stopped 10 minutes into the film. How ironic, right?All I can say is, the negative user reviews I read were written by people I surmised I would not be enchanted by in their presence. I enjoyed the reviews that said "Don't listen to those people. Be sure to catch this film because it is a very fun ride."Kudos to Robin Williams, Kristin Chenoweth, Jeff Daniels, Josh Hutcherson, Cheryl Hines, and Joanna Levesque. So glad they participated in this project because each of their contributions added so much to my experience, enjoyment and laughter.Read the reviews. If you resonate with the negative reviews, don't bother to spend your time with this one. But if you are a fun-loving, generous person, you will get off on spending time with these characters. And if you're depressed, it's worth a try...laughter is still the best medicine.

Oh, wow. This movie is absolutely horrible for about an hour and ten minutes. Then, out of nowhere for about 20 minutes it is hilarious. Overall though, it is still bad. I hit the fast forward button about 7 times I think. Mostly in the beginning hour and ten, and then once through the ending credits/sing-along. Yes. There was singing...very bad singing. It just seemed like they were making fun of singing instead of actually trying. The movie kinda made fun of itself. There was yodeling too. It was bad. If you are brave enough to rent or watch this thing, just forward through the first hour, watch the only 20 minutes worth watching and turn it off fast before they start singing at the end. You'll thank me later. This movie reminded me of that part of a road trip when you are tired of everyone and your back hurts and you just want to be back home. Kristin Chenoweth has a pair of nice qualities but this movie is not really worth a look. Skip it.
