While we hope your summer RV road trips aren’t quite as dysfunctional (and hilarious) as the Munro family, following their antics in 2006’s “RV” is sure to make you think about summer trips with family. Staring Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines and Kristin Chenoweth, this comedy film takes a decidedly lighthearted look at the reality of renting an RV and taking a cross-country journey with family. But don’t worry, this movie isn’t all about humorous misfortune. RV also highlights the helpful nature of fellow campers you meet on the road and the importance of family.
