History Film / RV

* BumblingDad: Bob Munro (Robin Williams) is arguably a TropeCodifier by making every single bad judgement call imaginable during the vacation.

''RV'' is a 2006 comedy film, staring Creator/RobinWilliams, about a dysfunctional family that goes on a vacation in a shoddy RV. The executive Bob Munro (Williams) is stressed, feeling threatened of losing his job and his lifestyle, since his abusive boss Todd Mallory (Will Arnett) hired the Stanford's geek Laird to work in their soda's company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie Munro (Cheryl Hines), his teenage daughter Cassie (Music/{{Jojo}}) and his young son Carl (Creator/JoshHutcherson) to spend vacations in Hawaii, but Todd demands him to prepare a presentation and attend a business meeting with the owners of a family company in a merging operation scheduled in the same period. Concealing the real reason of going to Colorordo to his family, Bob rents a recreational vehicle and tries to convince his dysfunctional family that a road trip to the Colorado Rocky Mountains would be good to bring old values back to their family. After many incidents and while in the trailers parking area, the rookie Bob is helped by the friendly but somewhat bizarre Gornicke family--consisting of Travis (Jeff Daniels), Mary Jo (Creator/KristinChenoweth) and their kids Earl, Moon, and Billy. The Munros escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and leaning, retrieving their forgotten family bond.

* RomanticFalseLead: The kids from the two families seem to take a liking to each other, but nothing else seems to happen between them.

Before you can say "COME BACK! COME BACK!," things go gloriously, hilariously, Munro-annoyingly wrong due to the lack of brakes, Bob's job, toilet waste not cleared out from the last rental and more hilarious stuff.
