College Road Trip

Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, roger kumble, martin lawrence, brenda song, donny osmond, bert michaels, matthew schlein, technical specs.

Melanie is eagerly looking forward to taking her first big step towards independence when she plans a "girls only" road trip to check out prospective universities. However, when her imposing police-chief dad insists on escorting her instead, she soon finds her dream trip turning into a nightmare full of misfortune and turmoil. Dad wants to assure total security and safety for his precious daughter, while Melanie has a 17-year-old's need to become a grown woman and have her own sense of independence. Now, even as dad and daughter bicker, banter and careen from one disaster to the next on their journey, they are about to discover that, sometimes, going that extra mile to be together can forge a family bond so strong it can withstand anything--even wild curves ahead.

Melanie Porter ( Raven-Symoné ), a 17-year-old college-bound girl, is getting ready to graduate from high school and really wants to go to Georgetown University. However, her father James Porter ( Martin Lawrence ), the chief of police in the quiet Chicago suburb where they live, is overprotective of Melanie, and isn't ready for her to leave and study so far away from home. James has other plans for Melanie, he wants her to go to Northwestern University which is only 28 minutes away from home. James also receives problems from disagreements with his real estate agent wife, Michelle ( Kym Whitley ), the family pig Albert, who continuously annoys him, and his young son, Trey (Eshaya Draper), who spends much time with the pig.

Melanie gets invited to an interview at Georgetown after a college recruiter saw her performance at a mock trial. Her two best friends Nancy ( Brenda Song ) and Katie (Margo Harshman) offer to take her on their college road trip to Pittsburgh. Melanie is all set to go with her friends until her father surprises her with his own college road trip to Washington, D.C.

On their way, Melanie reluctantly visits Northwestern to take a tour. They meet an almost- too -happy father and daughter duo, Doug ( Donny Osmond ) and Wendy (Molly Ephraim), who are on their own college road trip. James has planted actors at Northwestern, one screaming at Melanie they lost an eye at Georgetown. Melanie almost falls for it until one of the actors says to her "Yeah, the chief's a pretty smart guy", since he never met Porter.

Their car soon breaks down and they find Trey in the trunk with Albert and a supply of oxygen. They stop at a hotel (thanks to Albert's navigating) but end up causing trouble when Albert eats coffee beans and becomes hyperactive. They run into Doug and Wendy again, who offer James and Melanie a ride since James' car broke down. Later, Melanie and her father ride on a tour bus where they try to work out their differences. At one destination, Nancy and Katie show up and take Melanie to a sorority house. James, due to a misunderstanding, and the owner not letting him in to check on her, sneaks into the house. After hearing that his daughter has faith in him, he decides to leave the next morning. Unfortunately, after Melanie leaves, he gets caught by the owner, brutally dazed, and arrested. James' mother comes to bail him out, calls him out on his overprotectiveness, and opens up about her own past fears when her son went to the Army, but still believed in her son to go his own path.

James and Melanie end up forgiving each other at the airport. After dropping off Trey, they skydive to make the interview at Georgetown. Melanie is nervous, but James tells her she can do it and that they didn't come all this way for nothing. She then is accepted into Georgetown, which Wendy is accepted into too.

In the end, James copes with letting go and the final scene shows the Porter and Greenhut families at Thanksgiving dinner. Melanie introduces her boyfriend Tracy (Benjamin Patterson), who turns out to be a male. James accepts this, and Wendy announces her engagement to Scooter ( Lucas Grabeel ) a chipper young man who behaves exactly like Doug. This causes Doug to finally snap and attack Scooter.

Movie Review | 'College Road Trip'

By Jeannette Catsoulis

• March 7, 2008

Eyes popping and mouths agape, Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symoné mug their way through “College Road Trip” as if it were a silent movie — which, come to think of it, would have been a lot less irritating.

The latest in a genre that defines comedy as nothing more than extreme overreaction, the movie hangs its feeble plot on James Porter (Mr. Lawrence), a domineering police chief who’d like to see his teenage daughter, Melanie (Raven-Symoné), on permanent lockdown. Doting to the point of derangement, James has already chosen her college — Northwestern — based on its proximity to home and his smothering attentions. Sensibly, Melanie plans to interview at Georgetown; naturally, Daddy insists on driving; thankfully, the movie’s target audience will be too young to have heard of Freud.

Directed by Roger Kumble (who has fallen very far from “Cruel Intentions”), “College Road Trip” trawls for laughs with a chess-playing pig and a bus filled with karaoke-singing Japanese tourists. As James crashes a wedding and storms a sorority house (to rescue Melanie from ... a pajama party), his obsession with her borders on the disturbing. By the time Donny Osmond and Molly Ephraim show up to play a parent-child combo that’s scarier than the one embodied by Anthony Perkins in “Psycho,” you’ll be wishing that the pig had eaten the screenplay.

COLLEGE ROAD TRIP

Opens on Friday nationwide.

Directed by Roger Kumble; written by Emi Mochizuki, Carrie Evans, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio; director of photography, Theo van de Sande; edited by Roger Bondelli; music by Edward Shearmur; production designer, Ben Barraud; produced by Andrew Gunn; released by Walt Disney Pictures. Running time: 1 hour 23 minutes. This film is rated G.

WITH: Martin Lawrence (James Porter), Raven-Symoné (Melanie), Donny Osmond (Doug), Brenda Song (Nancy), Eshaya Draper (Trey), Kym E. Whitley (Michelle), Arnetia Walker (Grandma Porter), Margo Harshman (Katie) and Molly Ephraim (Wendy).

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.

College Road Trip

• There are no locations currently available for this title

• Boxoffice Magazine Amy Nicholson James' outlandish ruses to make his firstborn a Wildcat are fun; the push-pull parent-child dynamic generic, but sweet. But the writers comedy failsafe is "Cut to the pig!"

• Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand The whole project is a cloying, artificial mess. The slapstick comedy doesn't bite, and the formulaic sentimentality doesn't grip. This is strictly phi beta crappa.
• New York Post Kyle Smith College Road Trip is better than most Martin Lawrence movies -- much as strep throat is better than malaria.
• Austin Chronicle Steve Davis A Disney production that would seemingly be more at home on the Disney Channel than in the local multiplex.
• MovieFreak.com Sara Michelle Fetters Look, I realize a movie like College Road Trip isn't rocket science, but does it really have to play to such a dimwittedly low level that non-kid audiences are going to be in pain watching it?

• Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall The comedian Sinbad once said that Hollywood seeks out original talents but then tries to make them just like everyone else. A case in point is Martin Lawrence.
• Entertainment Weekly Adam Markovitz College Road Trip is at its best when it drops any pretense of plot for sheer goof, and at its worst when Lawrence manages to out-ham even his porky four-legged costar.

• Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez College Road Trip hurts more than just the eyes and ears, it wreaks havoc on one's humane sensibilities.
• Beliefnet Nell Minow [The] plot would make even the lightweight storylines of "That's So Raven" seem literary. It would make the lightweight storylines of a Bazooka Joe comic strip seem literary.
• USA Today Claudia Puig College Road Trip is nearly as hellish as taking a long trip with a bus full of karaoke-happy tourists. Actually, that's one of the gags.
• Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt Families seem to be extremely tolerant of taxing movie car trips. Perhaps the trick is that everyone is simply glad it's happening to another family and not theirs.
