[edit] Synopsis
Bob Munro (played by Robin Williams) and his dysfunctional family - wife Jamie, daughter Cassie and son Carl - have planned a vacation in Hawaii. However, at the last minute, Bob's boss tells him he wants Bob at a presentation for a merger. With no choice but to accept for fear of losing a promotion, Bob rents an RV, and tells his family they're travelling cross-country to the Rockies.
Already perturbed at losing their trip to Hawaii, the family's happiness doesn't improve as they battle racoons, rainstorms, and a community of bizarre fellow campers, including the Gornickes, another family at an RV park who follow the Munro family (however, many audiences thought the Munro's were the ones who were in fact more bizzare). And through it all, Bob must manage to keep his family in the dark that their vacation is a ploy to get to a business meeting on time - while still managing to get there at all.
[edit] Trivia
- "Irv", the cowboy-hatted RV rental spokesman depicted on the side of the family's RV, is played by director Barry Sonnenfeld.
- the RV park that is set in Nevada is really outside of Vancouver
- The SUV that Robin drives is a BMW X3.
[edit] Box office
RV grossed $86,892,180 on the Worldwide Box Office,[1] in spite of almost being almost universally rejected by North American critics.
