Plot Summary

Bob Munro, a stressed-out executive, takes his family on an impromptu cross-country road trip in a rented recreational vehicle. Hoping to reconnect with his uncommunicative teenage children and rekindle his marriage, Bob's plans quickly go awry when the RV proves to be less than reliable, and their journey becomes a series of comical disasters. Along the way, they encounter a quirky family of campers who further complicate their already chaotic adventure.

Critical Reception

RV was met with generally negative reviews from critics and was a box office success. While some praised Robin Williams's comedic performance, many found the humor predictable and the plot formulaic. Audiences, however, seemed to enjoy the lighthearted family comedy, contributing to its respectable financial performance.

What Reviewers Say

  • Robin Williams's performance is a highlight, but it's not enough to save a predictable and uninspired script.
  • The film relies too heavily on slapstick humor and familiar road trip tropes.
  • A light, family-friendly comedy that offers few surprises and minimal depth.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be a fun and lighthearted watch, particularly enjoying Robin Williams's comedic timing. However, many felt the story was predictable and lacked originality, with some finding the humor to be hit-or-miss.

Fun Fact

The film features a scene where the RV drives through a canyon, which was filmed at the scenic Monowi, Nebraska. The voice of the "Go Wild RV" GPS system is provided by comedy legend Joan Rivers.
