A genuinely terrific main cast makes it all work within the confines of its all-ages intent.

There are some sequences where you will love the characters and others where you can't stand them. Hmm, maybe RV is close to the real thing after all.

This is an ugly, desperate, witless little movie that, even if you happen to like it, will evaporate from your memory in the time it takes to flip the channel.

When it comes to this road-trip comedy, the question isn't 'Are we there yet?' It's: 'Is it over yet?'

Williams’ virtuoso hijinking and Daniels’ Huggy Bearish bonhomie save this from complete ignominy, but we’ve seen it all before.

Of course, it all winds up with absurdly contrived lessons about family bonding, including a climactic soliloquy by Williams that's barely short of laughable.

If the words "Robin Williams family comedy" strike terror into your heart, then you may be pleasantly surprised by RV, because for once he's not playing a blubbering man-child.

RV is a well written comedy and welcome evidence of Williams' talent as a comic actor.

Williams simply can't do much of anything with the forced and recycled material other than occasionally say 'my bad.' Indeed.

RV travels the comic highways similar to those driven by National Lampoon's Vacation's Griswolds, but the insufferable Munros leave us wishing they'd befall a fate more like that of the stranded family in The Hills Have Eyes.

None of the four leads are particularly interesting ... [and Robin Williams'] performance is disheartening
