RV - Runaway Vacation / Are We There Yet? - 2 Movie Collector's Pack (2 Disc Set)

RV:
In the family adventure comedy, R.V., an overworked Bob Munro (Robin Williams), his wife, Jamie (Cheryl Hines), their 15-year-old daughter, Cassie (Joanna “Jo Jo” Leveseque) and 12-year-old son, Carl (Josh Hutcherson) are in desperate need of some quality time together. After promising to take them on a family vacation in Hawaii, Bob abruptly changes plans without telling them. Instead of a week in a tropical paradise, they’re going on a road trip to Colorado in a recreational vehicle. Dragging his wife and kids kicking and screaming into the RV, Bob’s togetherness plan (which is partly a ruse to keep him from losing his job) almost immediately hits a major speed bump. Everything that can go wrong, does. Bob’s lame attempts to navigate the unwieldy oversized vehicle are met with silence and scorn from his resentful family. The RV life is a far cry from their comfortable life in Los Angeles and every attempt Bob makes to get them into the spirit of the vacation threatens to tear them further apart. At an RV camp, the Munro family is befriended by the Gornicke family, led by Travis and Mary Jo (Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth), an irritatingly endearing, happy-go-lucky clan of full time RVers. The more they try to elude the Gornickes, the more their paths seemed destined to cross. But adversity has a way of uniting even the most dysfunctional family members and each setback the Munros experience inadvertently helps them become a true family again.

Are We There Yet?:
Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is the affable owner of a sports memorabilia store and a shiny new 4WD, which is his pride and joy. He has also just spied something else he likes very much – sexy divorcee, Suzanne Kingston (Nia Long) who runs an event management service just across the street, but as he makes a beeline for her, he freezes when he notices that Suzanne comes with two attachments – kids. Nick doesn’t like kids and these two, Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Bolden) are first-rate brats whom we have already seen pulling some tortuous Home Alone-type tricks on an unsuspecting guy who has come calling on their mother. Lindsey and Kevin are under the mistaken impression that their parents will get back together, so any potential boyfriend for mum is given the treatment. Against his better judgement, Nick does become friends with Suzanne after rescuing her on a rainy night when her car breaks down and Lindsey and Kevin instantly consider him the enemy. When Suzanne has to go to Vancouver for a job and her ex pulls out of his promise to baby-sit, reckless Nick, hoping to score some big points, offers to follow her to Vancouver with the kids.
