ASSI - College Road Trip is an adorable family film starring Raven Symone as Melanie Porter who is looking forward to escaping the protective strong hold of her father who is a Chief of Police, played by Martin Lawrence. How many young Black girls are named Melanie, she must have been given that name because her character is an overachiever who has aspirations to attend Georgetown University. Rounding out the cast is Kym Whitley who plays the understanding and loving mother who wants her daughter to spread her wings and grow, Eshaya Draper plays the brainic little brother, and Donny Osmond has a semi small role as an excitable father who is also escorting his daughter on a college tour. Chief Porter is an domineering father who is extremely possessive of the ladies in his life. However, there is a turning point in the child and parent's lives when respect transforms the relationship. Everyone delivered in the movie even the pig played his part. College Road Trip is a family film that most parents should watch with their children, especially fathers. As I see it if you have yet to see College Road Trip add it to your list of summer DVDs to watch, I give it 4 blinks.
