...MPAA format might seem the most liberal of any major country, since on its face it's advisory, not proscriptive. Anyone can see any film rated G (general audiences), PG (parental guidance) or PG-13 (not recommended for kids under 13). Only the R and NC-17 ratings can theoretically keep kids out of a movie. The rest is up to parents.

...darker turns in recent comedies like “Death to Smoochy” may find this shift to potty humor lackluster. That being said, “R.V.” is obviously not meant to be a pointed comedy; it’s a crude PG-rated family flick. While it follows a hackneyed story line, pop-culture jokes give the film a degree of freshness.
