According to film reviewer Brent Simon of Now Playing magazine, the new Robin Williams comedy "R.V." has a brief Mother Road reference:
In the end, too, after the secret of Bob’s meeting comes out, a moralistic ending gives way to a cast karaoke version of “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66,” a la the Farrelly brothers’ effusive end-credit celebrations.
Considering that "R.V." is receiving reviews that range from mediocre to dreadful, this might be one of those movies to rent on the cheap from your local DVD store instead of shelling out $8 for a ticket.
I just saw RV yesterday. I really liked it and would recommend it to any road warrior. It made me want to get out there on the road. I’m not an RVer but could imagine having the same problems Robin Williams did.
At one point, they went to a tourist trap out west and the scenery, especially in the mountains, was worth the price of admission. I stayed until the very end of the credits, but did not see filmsites.
This is a good leadup to the Cars movie.
The “Get Your Kicks” song at the end was one kickin’ version.
does anyone know where this version of the song can be found? i really liked it.
