Album Description:
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.
Amazon.com:
Choosing a college and striking out on one's own is an exciting time that requires a big adjustment by both child and parent, but few parents will have as much difficulty relinquishing control over their daughter's life as Chicago police chief James Porter (Martin Lawrence). The ultimate in loving but overprotective fathers, James wants his daughter Melanie (Raven-Symoné) to attend nearby Northwestern College, so when she's waitlisted and called for an interview at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., James gets more than a little nervous. Squashing her plans for a road trip to D.C. with her girlfriends, James insists on a father-daughter expedition which he envisions being full of reminiscing, heart-to-heart conversations, and a healthy dose of persuasive promotion of Northwestern. The car trip definitely doesn't turn out as planned--instead it’s a trip rife with strained silences and festering conflict in which the police vehicle rolls down a wooded embankment, Melanie's little brother (Eshaya Draper) and pet pig stow away in the back of the truck, and the Porters inexplicably keep running into a syrupy sweet father (Donny Osmond) and college-bound-daughter (Molly Ephraim) whose close relationship, clean-cut enthusiasm, and willingness to befriend and help the Porters is downright unsettling. Absurdly funny scenes include the family pig crashing and demolishing a fancy outdoor wedding; James' party-loving mother (Arnetia Walker) scrambling to live up to her son's uptight image of her as a fragile, elderly woman; James breaking into a local sorority house and hiding under a bed in hopes of protecting Melanie's innocence, and James' and Melanie's unexpected skydive into Washington, D.C., in order to keep Melanie's interview appointment at Georgetown. In the end, James and Melanie both mature as a result of their road trip and are finally able to forge an emotionally healthy relationship with one another. (Ages 8 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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!!!
