RV (2006)

This is a solid movie. Overworked Bob Munro (Robin Williams) has promised his wife Jaime, their 15-year-old daughter Cassie (Joanna Levesque), and 12-year-old son Carl that they will be vacationing in Hawaii this summer, before the kids are sent off to their respective camps. After a mishap at a wedding party, his boss says the business trip to Hawaii has been cancelled. Bob convinces his reluctant family to go to the mountains in Colorado instead. Almost everything goes wrong during their road trip.

I didn’t expect to like this film, but it is quite good. There are some simple-minded clichés about economics and the environment, but they fit right into a comedic setting. Given some of the views the daughter has, I thought it was funny when she said she thinks the moon landing was a hoax. I also liked when the dad said he named his son after Karl Marx, because he was the founder of socialist and communist ideas.
