Critical One-Liners
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.

I kinda like the trailer. Don’t plan on seeing it but I think it will break even.

i remember reading a book of insults or put-downs or something like that in college. there were a bunch of brief critical dismissals compiled there. one was a review of the play i am a camera, which read only “me no leica”. elsewhere there was a review of a late beegees album: “more meaningless songs in high voices”. and i believe the first album by yes got a one word review in england: “no”. whoever reviewed kill bill vol. 1 in the new yorker had a great line in it: “this is what is formally known as decadence and popularly known as crap”. i disagree, but still.

Dorothy Parker famously reviewed Katherine Hepburn’s performance on stage: “Runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.”
I would rather travel cross-country in an RV with Robin Williams than see this movie. I’d even rather be married to him and traveling across country in an RV than see this movie.
