College Road Trip - 2008

They just can't get there fast enough!

After what started as initial apprehension about this film I was immediately in hysterics over Martin Lawrence and especially the irritating and nauseatingly nice character played by Donny Osmond! Lawrence's daughter Melanie is at that time in her life where she is thinking about university, the trouble is, where she wants to go and where he wants her to go are two different things! Being a cop, Lawrence is desperate for his daughter to enrol close by so that he will always be able to protect her, while Melanie has her heart focused upon studying law at a university roughly 700 miles away from home! Can her father realise that she is not a little girl anymore and let her grow up?Fat chance when you have a comedy like this! When Melanie's friends invite her on a road trip so that she can drop by and visit the university along the way, Lawrence thinks this is a fantastic idea, of course, he'll be going along too...

Compared to other teen comedies in this vein I actually found this very funny, in fact I was laughing out loud and in serious risk of waking up the rest of the house! I don't know what it is, whether it is Martin Lawrence's expressions or just the general idea of the story. I really liked it!

Rating 4/5
