" It's a tale with plenty of spirit and a good heart, and yet, this story doesn't so much soar across the screen as it does waddle."

" RV is a family-friendly comedy with some gut-shaking chuckles and a heartwarming message. Sadly, it's also a fine example of what happens when talented people settle for utter mediocrity."

" As teen comedies go, this one hits most of the right marks. The cast is solid. The story is fast-paced and funny. And most importantly, I laughed and laughed."

" While both Splash and The Little Mermaid are movies that have no shortage of cross-generational appeal, Aquamarine is destined to swim in a much shallower pool of fans."
