Well, Bill, when movies get bad reviews, I usually enjoy them the best. And this being the case, I really loved the RV Movie. There are many scenes that will have you "in stitches", and, yes, there is even a morale to the story! There is a scene at the dump station where many of us can remember our first time there and wondering exactly what to do! The characters are funny, the scenes great, and it's a clean movie to top it off.

I have read a lot of postings on usenet RV groups from people who have seen the movie, and so far not a single one that didn't like it. A typical quote: "The critics were right, it's not a great movie. The problem is, the critics are looking for something in a movie that I'm not looking for. What I'm looking for in a movie is entertainment. And we found RV to be very entertaining."

We went to see the movie last Friday. When I reported on it to someone else my words were: "The movie was purely for fun--no redeeming social value or educational content, just a pure comedy. That's why we wanted to see it--pretty good for a few laughs."
We were in the "mood" for that sort of movie, so we enjoyed it.

That all sounds like what we could use right now. I guess a trip to the theater is in order! I am glad to hear that the critics are (as usual) misguided.

Back to the movie, I saw it and agree that it is not profound, but good for a laugh. It reminded my wife and I of a day when the dump hose was too short, so she held one end and I pulled on the other. She thought holding the black connector was all she had to do. The hose slipped off and she got it from both ends, soaked. From her watch to her sandals, everything had to go.

I found RV painfully funny as memories flooded from doing business while dragging an Airstream across South Africa to Zimbabwe and back 30 years ago and now Mexico. Gayla on the other hand was in stitches as I was always the Robin Williams making the trip go smooth. We are in Veracruz and still dragging hoses and manipulating electricity. Datastorm would have changed his life!

I don't think that Laurel & Hardy ever made a "profound" movie. But they were very funny and entertaining. There you have the movie "RV". Very funny. Very entertaining.
Much like "The Long Long Trailer", everyone laughed and enjoyed. Interestingly, the experienced RVers laughed at different points in the movie based on their own experiences.
We can identify with the greenhorn experiences of our hero in "RV".
We will most likely see it again before the run ends.

Just got back from seeing "RV". It took about 15 minutes for the suspension of disbelief to kick in and then I laughed my head off. Sure glad that the dump scene wasn't in "Smellovision"!! I think that everone who has RVed for very long has a dump station story to tell.
