I took my daughter to see College Road Trip with several of her friends. She's watched Raven-Symone on TV and loved her in this movie. We laughed later about the "I know" moments.
Raven plays high school student Melanie Porter who has decided where she'll go to college. Her policeman father has a different college in mind. He wants her close so he can keep his eye on her. Dads are usually protective of their daughters, but this guy goes a few steps beyond normal dads.
Melanie has to learn to get along with her father during the drive to the college of her choice. Of course, the conflicts that arose made everyone in the theater laugh.
Melanie's father is played by Martin Lawrence. He looks like he's having a great time in the role too. He does a great job of playing both the hero and the villain. As a hero, he shows the deep love of a proud dad. As a villain, he tries to make things happen his way without listening to his daughter. Through their struggles against each other, his heroic qualities win out.
It's a sweet father-daughter movie which makes the point about doing all you can to keep that family relationship strong.
