Bob Munro desperately wants to impress his boss so he can get a much-needed promotion, however, his ambitions get in the way of his relationship with his wife and children.

When Bob gets caught up in a project at work, a project he just can't say no to, the dream vacation he promised his wife and children takes a backseat to his work. Cancelling the family's dream vacation by the sea, he rents an RV and lies to his wife... telling her that the children are growing up too quickly and that the road trip will bring them all closer together.

Obviously, the family are not aware that Bob is steering the RV towards an important meeting with a potential client...

One adventure leads to another along the way, add to that a chance encounter with an obnoxious family of over-achieving RV'ers who are just too cheerful to be real, and there you have a very simple, somewhat entertaining movie.

To give him credit where it is due, Robin Williams does manage to get a laugh or two in this movie, but honestly, it's not his best. Perhaps I've outgrown his style of comedy, or his style has become too common... I'm not certain, but although this movie is entertaining and did make me laugh, I wouldn't watch it a second time. Once is more than enough.

Summary: A family road trip in an RV and chance encounters lead to road mayhem!
