A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I have always liked Robin Williams and "RV" is one of those types of movies that you can watch again and again.The storyline was a bit on the simplistic side, but entertaining and enjoyable nonetheless. There are so many hilarious scenes to sit through here, and they just keep piling up. I always laugh a lot while I watch "RV"."RV" had a really good cast that performed quite well. This is definitely one of the trademark Robin Williams movies, but he was so much more than just a funny guy, as we saw in the dramatic movies he made. But aside from Robin Williams, then the movie also bolsters some nice performances by the likes of
Cheryl Hines, Jeff Daniels and Will Arnett.If you enjoy light-hearted comedy and like to laugh, then you should definitely sit down and watch "RV", if you haven't already seen it.

Well , when you have a genie in a movie , what more can you expect other than grab-your-stomach-and-laugh kind of fun and while you are at it , get some other movies of this legend and watch them ( The Angriest Man in Brooklyn , Man of the Year )

RV is not hilariously hysterical, cerebral fun or even original. It borrows from National Lampoon's Vacation films to John Hughes films such as Planes, Trains and Automobiles.Robin Williams promises his family a holiday in Hawaii but his boss lands him with a last minute merger deal so he takes them on a cross country trip in a RV while secretly working in his business project as he does not want his wife to find out the real purpose of the trip. Along the way Williams gets into all sorts of scrapes, embarrasses his family and meets up repeatedly with Jeff Daniels who is also on a family road trip.Its kind of strange to see Williams doing broad comedy after he reinvented himself as a serious actor, especially one who played psychopaths in several movies.I guess he got a good paycheck because you always get the feeling that he is slumming it. The film is decent enough, sporadically amusing and some of the slapstick is well done. However it does remind of you of similar road trip films from the 1980s and the original comedic spark from Williams is lacking.

In the vein of the Chevy Chase classic National Lampoons Vacation, In an effort to spend some time with his family during the school holidays, Robin Williams takes them on a trip across America in a RV. That's where the similarities with the 80's comedy classic end as Robin Williams, who has saved worse movies than this, has his work well and truly cut out here.Singer Jo-Jo pops up as Williams daughter and Jeff Daniels has a decent role as an eager to help fellow RV driver on the road with his family too, and Not even he can help Williams save it. Williams is watchable as always, but if I had to choose between rewatching this and going to a firework display on a very rainy night. RV would probably lose.
