 In
the family adventure comedy, R.V., an overworked Bob Munro (Robin
Williams), his wife, Jamie (Cheryl Hines), their 15-year-old daughter,
Cassie (Joanna “Jo Jo” Leveseque) and 12-year-old son, Carl (Josh
Hutcherson) are in desperate need of some quality time together. After
promising to take them on a family vacation in Hawaii, Bob abruptly
changes plans without telling them. Instead of a week in a tropical
paradise, they’re going on a road trip to Colorado in a recreational
vehicle.
Dragging his wife and kids
kicking and screaming into the RV, Bob’s togetherness plan (which is
partly a ruse to keep him from losing his job) almost immediately hits a
major speed bump. Everything that can go wrong, does. Bob’s lame
attempts to navigate the unwieldy oversized vehicle are met with silence
and scorn from his resentful family. The RV life is a far cry from their
comfortable life in Los Angeles and every attempt Bob makes to get them
into the spirit of the vacation threatens to tear them further apart.
At an RV camp, the Munro family
is befriended by the Gornicke family, led by Travis and Mary Jo (Jeff
Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth), an irritatingly endearing,
happy-go-lucky clan of full time RVers. The more they try to elude the
Gornickes, the more their paths seemed destined to cross. But adversity
has a way of uniting even the most dysfunctional family members and each
setback the Munros experience inadvertently helps them become a true
family again.
