R.V. (Blu-ray Disc)
IN THEATERS APRIL 28, 2006
A family film for the Instant Messenger age, RV takes a humorous look at a mostly functional suburban family's attempt to get away from it all on a rare vacation. The always hilarious Robin Williams plays Bob Munro, a beaten-down middle manager who feels alienated from the family he works so hard to keep comfortable. Upon his insistence, the Munro family rents an RV and embarks on a search for quality time in the land of Manifest Destiny. With his frustrated wife Jamie (the always stellar Cheryl Hines of TV's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), rapper-wannabe son Carl (Josh Hutcherson), and angsty daughter Cassie (Joanna Levesque, best known as a tween pop singer), la famiglia Munro is Westward Ho. However, white-collar Bob's lack of adeptness at handling the monstrous vehicle causes plenty of amusing chaos. Thank God for the kindness of strangers--in
this case, a couple of endearing oddballs played by Jeff Daniels (who proved his comedic chops in the DUMB AND DUMBER films) and Kristin Chenoweth. As Travis and Mary Jo, two obsessive RV-ers with a penchant for barbecues, beer, and yodeling, they serve as the Middle-American heart and soul of the film, much smarter and savvier than cultural stereotypes write them off as being. Seasoned comedy director Barry Sonnenfield (MEN IN BLACK, WILD, WILD WEST) proves that he has mastered the intelligent comedy, and Williams, particularly in moments that are improvised, proves his brilliance once again. But it is the uniformly excellent supporting cast, in particular a knee-slapping turn by Will Arnett (Gob on TV's ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT), that makes RV so memorable.
Self Matters
TV's Dr. Phil helps readers uncover the person who lies hidden beneath the expectations and fears that can mask the true self. SELF MATTERS, written in Dr. Phil's trademark no-nonsense tone, includes a five-step action plan. Known as a life-strategist, Dr. Phil aims his recommendations at readers who have let their lives get out of their control and who find themselves trapped in unsatisfying jobs and relationships. SELF MATTERS helps them escape from superficial demands and concentrate on the core issues that create a fulfilled life. The first point on Dr. Phil's plan is to define oneself and then to objectively compare the mental image to the actual person. This simple test makes the reader get real, as Dr. Phil is known for saying on his nationally syndicated show. Along with other questionnaires included in the book, this test helps readers better understand themselves and what internal and external forces they follow, or fight, in planning their futures. Dr. Phil has proven the veracity...
