An overprotective father, daughter entering adulthood, pet pig, young genius and the road all feature in one of the funniest releases of the year – COLLEGE ROAD TRIP on Disney DVD from 17 December 2008.
MARTIN LAWRENCE (Wild Hogs, and Big Momma’s House I and II) is Chief James Porter, a loving father wanting the world for his daughter as long as it’s close to home. But opportunity knocks and when it looks as though Melanie (RAVEN-SYMONE) is set to enrol in nearby Northwestern University, she gets a last-minute chance for an interview at Georgetown University – her dream come true.
Unable to bear the thought of Melanie going on a road trip to the interview with her two best friends Nancy (BRENDA SONG) and Katie (MARGO HARSMAN), Chief takes matters into his own hands and creates a road trip of his own.
Hilarity ensues as the trip goes from bad to worse. Chief’s young son Trey (ESHAYA DRAPER) and his pet pig are discovered among the luggage, and father and daughter go head-to-head in a battle of wills, creating a family comedy that will have you ducking for cover.
Just when things are at boiling point, the family teams up with another father-daughter travelling duo, Doug (comedy legend DONNY OSMOND) and daughter Wendy (MOLLY EPHRAIM). Their enthusiasm and good cheer drives Chief and Melanie even closer to breaking point as they get closer to their destination.
But a safe passage to Georgetown University is no longer what’s at stake as father and daughter discover how important they are to each other, and that it’s time for Chief to let go and allow his daughter to discover her own road to adulthood.
Directed by ROGER KUMBLE (Cruel Intentions, The Sweetest Things), COLLEGE ROAD TRIP is a riotous journey of mishaps and self-discovery for a father who doesn’t want to let go and a daughter who needs to make her own way in the world.
Including hilarious bonus features of deleted scenes, alternative endings and alternative openings, don’t miss COLLEGE ROAD TRIP, a must-see family comedy hit this summer!
