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

Rating: - Going to buy it...
Just watched this with the family and loved it! Maybe because I can identify with the over-protective parent who didn't want their baby going off to college far away. Yes indeed, where does the time go?Martin Lawrence carries the movie with his humorous lines and gags. It's touching, funny, and you just might cry towards the end too. Donny Osmond and actress daughter deliver a lot of laughs too for their zaniness. Loved the ending!

Rating:  - WHERE does the TIME really go?
What a great movie this was. If this movie wasn't made by Disney I bet a lot more adults would actually admit that they liked this movie. Martin Lawrence is a wonderful actor, infact everyone did a great job in this film and I think they deserve more credit for how well they performed.
To be honest I don't really see why any child under 13 would want to watch this movie, especially without their parents. It seems like this movie would be directed more to adults relating to this same problem ... Read More
Rating: - Classic Disney Fun!
Disney has always had a unique way of entertaining while teaching life lessons in their films, and College Road Trip is no exception to that rule!
Disney's College Road Trip tells the story of a battle for independence between a loving but protective father and his teenage daughter. Disney Channel favorite, Raven-Symone (TV's "That's So Raven," "Cheetah Girls"), stars as Melanie Porter, an overachieving high school student with her heart set on attending Washington D.C.'s Georgetown University. ...

Rating: - A Fine, Fine Film
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Raven is a doll.Martin is Martin in a G-rated version.I like the way they interact and I am glad to see a movie with a clean-cut black family.I like the fact that there is a Mom and Dad that seem to love each other and their children.This movie can be related to by all families.It gives a person hope that there are still decent people living decent lives.
