COLLEGE ROAD TRIP (Released to Theaters USA 2008)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  College Road Trip—suitable, predictable afternoon watch—plays like light Disney fare for the young teen audience. Know that it serves clean entertainment with no hidden surprises. Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symoné play the father/daughter duo well. A little tweaking of the basic script has potential to push the chuckle factor to the 'riot' level. Camera work needs some improvement. Overall, it's sweet and provides another look at father-daughter relationships.

It is not a total waste of time and money. The comic element is in place. Expect light comedy and a sweet treatment of the father/daughter relationship.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers
