F
"This is frighteningly outdated formula filmmaking at its worst."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

6/10
"Has just enough worldly jadedness to counteract the Seventh Heaven brand of schmaltz that seems to pervade PG films like so much smelly backwater."  Freeze Dried Movies  Brian Juergens

C+
"I would rather watch Cheryl Hines sing along hilariously to G.T.O. than hear Robin Williams crouching behind a tree hoping to convince his family he has diarrhea. Criminally, Sonnenfeld feels the opposite."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"Unoriginal and unfunny, Barry Sonnenfeld's RV puts yet another dysfunctional family though the paces of yet another summer vacation."  Common Sense  Cynthia Fuchs

1/5
"RV is Vacation for people who loved Flubber."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

2/4
"...never quite as bad as it probably should have been..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2.5/4
"Crowd-pleasing, undemanding fun."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Why a man with the gifts Sonnenfeld has would expend so much effort in making a poo geyser look interesting, I have no idea."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C-
"It's tolerable in stretches."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

2/4
"Exceedingly juvenile and strained of any colorful imagination not to mention hopelessly lame, RV is a colossally clunky vehicle in every sense of the word."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D
"The correct response to RV is 'PU.'"  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/5
"A family film that is only sporadically funny."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

1/4
"Considering all the movies not being shown to critics this year, why did the studio choose this one to subject us to?"  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/10
"Williams simply can't do much of anything with the forced and recycled material other than occasionally say 'my bad.' Indeed."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

2/5
"Williams' appearance in this film is the biggest casting faux pas since Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and Kevin Costner in almost anything he does"  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

2/4
"About the best thing to be said about Barry Sonnenfeld's formulaic comedy of family dysfunction is that once you get past the lengthy, graphic geyser-of-liquid-excrement gag, it's not as irredeemably vulgar as it might have been."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

D
"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."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"This is quite possibly the dumbest movie ever made."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

D
"Jokes that don't work the first time are dragged out interminably and then repeated. And the syrupy little lessons about the importance of family values are forced and synthetic."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/4
"Having recently written Disney's remake of The Shaggy Dog, Geoff Rodkey now unsubtly revisits National Lampoon's Vacation with RV."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"What follows plays a lot like National Lampoon's Vacation, only without that film's refreshing sense of cruelty"  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

2/5
"Far more silly than sublime, but it has its moments."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1.5/5
"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."  DVDTalk.com  Scott Weinberg

2.5/5
"the RV shows up, and everything that was seemingly clever about Geoff Rodkey's script gets bashed over the head by slapstick comedy choreography and rank toilet humor"  Filmcritic.com  Sean O'Connell

1.5/4
"i really hated it"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

5/10
"Cheery yet repetitive, it's an all-too-familiar road trip filled with speed bumps."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

1.5/4
"Early in RV, the bratty kids take one look at the titular vehicle and pronounce it a 'big, rolling turd.' The same can be said for Barry Sonnenfeld's woefully unfunny family comedy, a scattershot mess that marks a new low for Robin Williams."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

0.5/4
"That weird noise you hear in the theatre is a few dozen fingernails digging into armrests."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
