College Road Trip

College Road Trip

Directed by Roger Kumble, starring Martin Lawrence, Raven-Symone, Donny Osmond

In College Road Trip, a local police chief (Martin Lawrence) insists on accompanying his 17-year-old daughter (Raven-Symone) when she makes a journey from Illinois to Washington with some chums to inspect various universities. His obsession with her wellbeing borders on the incestuous and the journey, in which father and daughter constantly bicker, is not merely clumsy and unfunny, but toe-curlingly embarrassing.

The ultimate destination of this road movie is the campus of Georgetown University and College Road Trip is certainly the most terrifying thing that has happened there since The Exorcist. The one redeeming feature is Donny Osmond as another father from hell, who, unlike the lazy Lawrence, is genuinely funny.
