  SUMMARY

The executive Bob Munro is stressed, feeling threatened of losing his job and his lifestyle, since his abusive boss Todd Mallory hired the Stanford's geek Laird to work in their soda's company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie Munro, his teenage daughter Cassie Munro and his young son Carl Munro 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. Bob hides the truth to his family, 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 bizarre but friendly Gornicke family. They escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and leaning, retrieving their forgotten family bonds.

  FILMING INFO

There's been some reshooting done in Toronto in the 3rd week of January 2006.

The scene they reshot is the ending of the film (the singing part was the original ending, but Barry Levinson wanted another ending and decided to get the whole family together for the final scene. The reshoot was done in Toronto because Robin was filming another film there at the time.)

  RV TOURING IN EUROPE
