Movie Reviews of RV (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Very funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't see Barry Sonnefield's latest production, RV, unless you enjoy slapstick comedy, the kind that dominates Laurel and Hardy and Marx Brothers films.
Please note: Many slapstick comedy plots are pretty stupid. Their characters are also often dumb or revolting, or both. But the ultimate point of slapstick humor is to make people laugh. And if you like to laugh, this is a great film. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard, or so much.
Here, Bob Munro (Robbin Williams) is a white collar slave to a nasty, political boss who likes playing employees off against one another. At the moment, his job is at risk. So when his boss orders him to cancel his family vacation to Hawaii, he rents a giant RV to take them to Colorado instead--without mentioning to his family that he has to come up with a presentation for his company's potential buyers, or else.
No, he tells them his wife Jamie (Cheryl Hines), 16-year-old daughter Cassie (JoJo) and son Carl (Hutcherson) that they don't spend enough time together, and that a camping trip terminating at gorgeous campsites in Colorado will be just the ticket. In the end, it is indeed, and not only in the way that Munro had suggested.
Predictably, the moment that the family boards the RV (with a huge "Rent Me" sign painted on its side), things start to go wrong. But not all the jokes--including some crude, teenage toilet humor--are predictable, and they are often hysterical.
En route to the unmentioned corporate meeting, the Munros encounter the overly friendly, somewhat overbearing Gornicke family--Travis (Jeff Daniels), Marie Jo (Kristin Chenoweth) and their kids Earl (Hunter Parrish), Billy (Alex Ferris) and Moon (Chloe Sonnenfeld), whom they are continuously trying to escape. As luck (and slapstick) would have it, the Gornickes regularly show up again just when the one or more of the Munros find themselves in a pickle.
The slapstick gags all involve predictable turns of the plot--running the RV sewage line, a lost lap (actually, stolen), Bob's inability to transmit his presentation, a wild pack of raccoons, a near-catastrophic drive on a mountain road, and so on--but the film includes some very important, and surprisingly touching messages about the importance of family, friends and meaningful work. And once again, ladies, gents and kids, this movie is meant for laughs. And it's very funny, teenage humor and all.
