Hmmmm….. College Road Trip huh? You would think that it is another spinoff of Road Trip and EuroTrip but no. You won’t see any naked girls or sexual references in this movie about a road trip. You know why? Because it’s a Disney movie. College Road Trip stars Raven Symone, who many people will remember her from The Cosby Show, and Martin Lawrence, who most recently appeared in Wild Hogs. College Road Trip also features fellow Disney Channel star Brenda Song. College Road Trip is directed by Roger Kumble who directed Just Friends in 2005.
Raven Symone stars as Melanie Porter, who is a college bound student, and Martin Lawrence plays her overprotective cop father. Melanie plans an all girls road trip along wither her friends to go look at prospective universities. However her father insists on escorting her along with her friends to make sure that they stay on task and focus on what is important. She then sees her dream trip with her friends into a nightmare adventure with her father that is filled with loads of misfortune.
Wow… that’s all I can say. This sounds like this is going to completely bomb. Chances are only younger audiences will go see this movie. It also doesn’t sound like there is any potential in the movie, the only comedy I’ve seen from Raven and her screeching attempting to be comical in her Disney Channel show. The chance I see of this movie actually making money is if Martin Lawrence gives the performance of his life. But it’s a Disney movie so he can’t make some of the jokes that he usually does which means that he won’t be as funny as he usually is. Although the writer is the same guy who wrote Bubble Boy, which was somewhat enjoyable, earlier in his career, so that may also give this movie some hope. I may be overly critical of this movie because I’m probably a little older than the target audience. Either way there is no way I’m going to bother to watch this movie.
