  • Starring: Martin Lawrence, Raven-SymonĂ©
  • Summary: Choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time of a young woman's life... unless your overprotective father isn't quite ready to let you go. In the Disney family comedy College Road Trip, Melanie is eagerly looking forward to her first big step toward independence when she plans a "girls only" road trip to check out prospective universities. But when her overbearing police-chief father insists on escorting her instead, she soon finds her dream trip has turned into a hilarious nightmare adventure full of comical misfortune and turmoil.

    Undeniably fun for the kids, though it requires a camp sensibility in its adult audience. But in doing so, it is a warm return to the live-action Disney movies of yesteryear.

    At its best when it drops any pretense of plot for sheer goof (as when a Japanese sightseer belts ''Sister Christian'' on a karaoke tour bus), and at its worst when Lawrence manages to out-ham even his porky four-legged costar.
  3. If, on the other hand, your driver's license is still a distant dream, consider this a path to pure hilarity.
  4. As generic as its title, College Road Trip feels like a first draft, the one the studio brings to the rewrite team that, in this case, never got hired.

    Innocuous family comedy, enjoyable but unmemorable. Raven-Symone is good and Donny Osmond has a funny supporting role. Fun score.

    The movie was TERRIBLE. so lame and NOT FUNNY, when I saw it in theaters the only thing that entertained me was the fact that my brother choked on his popcorn. Expand
