We watched RV this weekend. This movie was funny! If anybody tells you otherwise, then they just didn’t get their Wheaties before going, or something. This film stars Robin Williams (Bob Munroe) and Cheryl Hines (Jamie Munroe) as the parents in a family that’s grown apart. Jojo does a good job of playing a snobby teen daughter in the movie as well. Munroe decides, on the verge of losing his job, that he needs to both save his job and get closer to his family again. This prompts a vacation in an RV.
Synopsis:
An overworked Bob Munro (Robin Williams), his wife Jamie (Cheryl Hines), their 15-year-old daughter Cassie (Joanna “JoJo” Levesque) and 12-year-old son Carl (Josh Hutcherson) are in desperate need of some quality time together. After promising to take them on a family vacation in Hawaii, Bob abruptly changes plans without telling them. Instead of a week in a tropical paradise, they’re going on a road trip to Colorado in a recreational vehicle.
Dragging his wife and kids kicking and screaming into the RV, Bob’s togetherness plan (which is partly a ruse to keep him from losing his job) almost immediately hits a major speed bump. Everything that can go wrong, does. Bob’s lame attempts to navigate the unwieldy, oversized vehicle are met with silence and scorn from his resentful family. The RV life is a far cry from their comfortable life in Los Angeles, and every attempt Bob makes to get them into the spirit of the vacation threatens to tear them further apart.
At an RV camp, the Munro family is befriended by the Gornicke family — an irritatingly endearing happy-go-lucky clan of full-time RVers. The more they try to elude the Gornickes, the more their paths seem destined to cross. But adversity has a way of uniting even the most dysfunctional family members and each setback the Munros experience inadvertently helps them become a true family again.
This movie has a bit of crude language in it, hence the PG rating, but its a good watch for most of the family. If you appreciate silliness and crazy antics, then this movie will deliver. Its not over the top but it climbs pretty high. You can watch it.
I didn’t like it at all. The only part I laughed at was when the gave his final presentation at the end.
I don’t like wheaties, I don’t have problems crapping, wich this movie turned out to be.
Are you sure about the Wheaties? You’re way too wound up, my friend. Reeeeellllaaaaxxxx. Watch a movie with a guy covered in fecal matter for mo good reason……
