Summary: RV
Comment: This movie had its moments of humor, but those moments of stupidity more than outnumber them. Robin Williams attempts to carry the movie but he falls a bit short (as he does in many of his recent endeavors). The plot is weak but the sheer farcity of it does give the viewer a chuckle or two. But for the most part this movie is a waste of time.

Summary: Not a gem, and almost not bad either...
Comment: Robin Williams has come down to not-so-good days of late. If you remember the work he's done in "Good Will Hunting", "Bicentennial Man', "Patch Adams" and, why, even 'Mork & Mindy", you'd know what I'm talking about.
Happened to see this movie recently on a rental DVD, and was mildly disappointed. The Monroe family had so much potential in terms of the humor that Robin is known to inculcate into the plot & characters, that seeing the formulae unfold was a let-down.
Williams plays a hard-working executive, doing all he can to appease his tyrannical boss, who is threatening to replace Williams with someone from the younger generation. Williams knows that if he loses this job, he and his family will lose not just a paycheck, but, as he puts it, "a lifestyle". With so much at stake, it is only valid that he try and make ends meet, no matter what it takes.
With that in mind, he cancels the family's Hawaii vacation, promising them an even better vacation in the mountains of Colorado (so that he can attend an important meeting which coincidentally happens to be at the same place!), and en-route there, in the RV that he has rented for them all.
What ensues is a rather slapstick, formulaic story with the husband trying to be funny while making ends meet, the family always making fun of him (and often with good reason), and the friendly RV family they happen to meet on the way just adds to the fun.
There are elements I found I had seen used to much better effect in some other movies, and that's also why I was dejected with this movie.
In a single stroke - it tries to be funny, but only ends up being silly.
2 / 5 (only because of William's enthusiasm!)
