COLLEGE ROAD TRIP stars Martin Lawrence as Chicago cop James Porter, an overprotective father who wants to keep his college-bound daughter, Melanie (Raven-Symone), close to home. When the smart, assertive Melanie declares her intention to attend Georgetown instead of Northwestern, James insistently sets out with her on a cross-country car journey to Washington D.C., hoping to dissuade her along the way. En route, of course, plenty of hijinks ensue, including scenarios involving a precocious pig and, oddly enough, Donny Osmond, who turns up as an eeriely cheery dad also on a college-touring campaign.

Summary: "Classic" Disney
Comment: Having grown up on Disney films from the '60s and '70s, it's hard to compare the slapstick, G-rated comedies of the time to Disney's recent PG ventures of the '90s and beyond. However, "College Road Trip" feels like it was made all those years ago... cellphones aside. Yes, the plot is cliched, but that was the way it was in those great classics as well. It even has a musical number half-way through. Donny Osmond (and to some extent, Lucas Grabeel) steal the show with his quirky character, and Raven and Martin Lawrence are excellent playing off of each other as a daughter-father duo.
If you're a fan of great Disney comedies, this movie will not disappoint. This is one film where you won't have to worry about it being appropriate for any age group: it's pure G-rated fun full of laughs and just a good time.

Summary: Over the river and through the woods to the Porter's house we go!
Comment: I saw this movie in the theatres last spring. And I knew I'd love it. This is probably the best Disney Movie since Mary Poppins. It's about a college bound girl Melanie Porter(Raven Symone) and her father (Martin Lawrence), who loves her so much that he won't let her go anywhere but Northwestern in Evanston, and they live in Chicago. Ironically I lived in Evanston when I was 3 and my Dad worked for Nortwestern Library.
Towards the end of the movie the father realizes that Melanie has to know her own heart, and lets her go to Georgetown in DC. The scene where they drop her off at college makes me cry every time I watch it. I love the little song her friends sing when they bring her home for Thanksgiving.
So by all means add this wonderful film to your collection, before it goes in the Disney Vault!

Summary: Entertainment for all ages
Comment: This movie is fluff, no doubt. Fluff that the little ones and grandma can watch together without anyone covering their ears. My husband and I watched this during a bad rainstorm. It was quite enjoyable. Donny Osmond is the true standout in this film. He does a nice parody of himself. Martin Lawrence as an overprotective dad didn't seem "okay" at first, but we got used to him. Raven hams it up, complete with a karaoke version of "Double Dutch Bus". The karaoke version was the most painful part of the film- the lyrics won't suit anyone under 4 years of age.
There are some inaccuracies in this movie. For starters, sorority life in Omega Psi Lambda, supposedly at UPitt, is nothing like what it is in real life. There would never be 5 sisters home on a Saturday night. (Seriously, don't gloss over sorority life!) Second, Georgetown does not have any fraternities or sororities, so why include them in this movie? And, all of Georgetown's campus is wrong, wrong wrong!!!
And how she physically arrives at Georgetown is way beyond believable. It wasn't even funny. Now, the Japanese tour bus, was odd but believable. Not so with the way she gets to Georgetown.
Nevertheless, if there's nothing to do and you need a movie for the family, Disney's College Road Trip is a fine choice. Bula Bula!

Summary: Awesome Family Fun!!!
Comment: I thought this was a very good movie. It has a lot of funny scenes and some tender scenes between father and daughter. Melanie wants to go to Georgetown college, but her dad (Martin Lawrence) wants her to go to another one. They meet some weird characters on their trip, like the hyper-singing father and daughter. If you enjoy comedies and movies about parents trying to learn how to let their children go, you will love COLLEGE ROAD TRIP!!!
