...Williams does charge up RV, even if he's a long way from the frenzied genius of Good Morning, Vietnam or his mind-blasting stand up routines. |

Tired stereotypes, boob jokes, poop geysers and relentless fart references do little to pump up a limp script and a string of embarrassingly unfunny moments for Williams. |

...once you get past the lengthy, graphic geyser-of-liquid-excrement gag, it's not as irredeemably vulgar as it might have been. |

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--and that's saying something... |

...a torturous jaunt characterized by lowbrow, low-rent farce (usually involving fart noises and/or Williams being physically hurt) and perfunctory story arcs (the son weight lifts because he's insecure about his size, the daughter thinks Dad is uncool, yada yada yada). |

...a comedy as broad as a double-wide and as contrived as the metaphors I'm struggling to resist. |

That noxious odor emitting from this enforced-family-fun-road-trip comedy as it barrels toward home video is desperation. |

In RV, the downwardly spiraling career trajectories of Robin Williams and director Barry Sonnenfeld intertwine like the ropes of a tangled parachute, and all the helpless viewer can do is look on aghast as the whole abortive fiasco plummets toward Earth. |

...at least looks good ... but the gags couldn't be more obvious if they involved the words "Knock knock." |

...the lone highlight of the film being when Robin is buried in a pile of shit after the RV's septic tank explodes. |

Moments of subtlety and wit mitigate occasional tendencies toward gross-out humor and Disney-itis. |
