Choosing a college and striking out on one's own is an exciting time that requires a big adjustment by both child and parent, but few parents will have as much difficulty relinquishing control over their daughter's life as Chicago police chief James Porter (Martin Lawrence). The ultimate in loving but overprotective fathers, James wants his daughter Melanie (Raven-Symone) to attend nearby Northwestern College, so when she's waitlisted and called for an interview at Georgetown in Washington, D.C., James gets more than a little nervous. Squashing her plans for a road trip to D.C. with her girlfriends, James insists on a father-daughter expedition which he envisions being full of reminiscing, heart-to-heart conversations, and a healthy dose of persuasive promotion of Northwestern. The car trip definitely doesn't turn out as planned--instead it's a trip rife with strained silences and festering conflict in which the police vehicle rolls down a wooded embankment, Melanie's little brother (Eshaya Draper) and pet pig stow away in the back of the truck, and the Porters inexplicably keep running into a syrupy sweet father (Donny Osmond) and college-bound-daughter (Molly Ephraim) whose close relationship, clean-cut enthusiasm, and willingness to befriend and help the Porters is downright unsettling. Absurdly funny scenes include the family pig crashing and demolishing a fancy outdoor wedding; James' party-loving mother (Arnetia Walker) scrambling to live up to her son's uptight image of her as a fragile, elderly woman; James breaking into a local sorority house and hiding under a bed in hopes of protecting Melanie's innocence, and James' and Melanie's unexpected skydive into Washington, D.C., in order to keep Melanie's interview appointment at Georgetown. In the end, James and Melanie both mature as a result of their road trip and are finally able to forge an emotionally healthy relationship with one another. (Ages 8 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 Lots of Laughs December 11, 2008
Silence Isgood (Idaho)
This was a happy surprise. I watched it with 14-16 year old girl who were rolling on the floor with laughter. At the end they had to keep rewinding and still frame freeze Donny Osmond and then laughed all the harder. Thanks for something unexpected.

EMTP EJ (Washington, DC USA)
The kids really like this, cause of the slapstick. Interesting story about an overprotective dad and how he learns to let go of his firstborn and let her go to the college she wants. It would have been more fun for me if they were able to play up the "Three Little Pigs" aspect a bit more that they set up in the beginning of the film. The part of Don Osmond and also his family is so funny -- he just completely upstages Martin Lawrence.
Family Fun November 3, 2008
Martial Arts Damsel (Cypress, Texas United States)
Hilarious journey of one possessive father letting go off his beloved daughter. The things people go through to show how much they care. Dad is both endearing and nuts all at once and the family pet fits right in the equation.
