Apr 23, 2009
A Disney production that would seemingly be more at home on the Disney Channel than in the local multiplex.
Oct 18, 2008
Martin Lawrence's long, sad devolution from the poor man's young Eddie Murphy to the poor man's late-period Eddie Murphy continues.
Oct 18, 2008
To put it bluntly, this trip isn’t worth taking for the vast majority of movie-goers.

There isn’t an ounce of real life between here and Somers Town.
Aug 22, 2008
Oh no, it's a Martin Lawrence family comedy, and it's sponsored by Disney. What kind of a sadist put those two together? Come back, Ice Cube, all is forgiven. Actually, please don't.
Aug 22, 2008
Children might find the slapstick routines amusing, but for older viewers this is a mirthless voyage.
Aug 22, 2008
Imagine being locked in a car with Charles Manson, Idi Amin and Osama bin Laden. The worst road trip ever? Nope. That honour belongs to Martin Lawrence’s latest so-called comedy, which parks itself neatly between the words appalling and god-awful.
Aug 22, 2008
This is one of those churn-'em-out Disney comedies in which every performer seems to be competing to give the most annoying performance in cinematic history.
Aug 22, 2008
As expected, his plan unravels within minutes of leaving the driveway.
Aug 22, 2008
This is a frontrunner for worst film of the year, but a healthy $45m in the US means a sequel is likely – proof that education standards are indeed slipping.
Aug 22, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at a new circle of hell: the one where Martin Lawrence is no longer the most irksome presence in a Martin Lawrence movie.
Aug 22, 2008
Sentimental and chillingly brain-dead family comedy.
Aug 22, 2008
Martin Lawrence sits sheepishly low behind the wheel for this meandering drive through comedy hell.
Aug 22, 2008
Even with a brief running time, ‘College Road Trip’ is an ordeal that even its target audience will find dispiritingly lame.
Aug 22, 2008
An entirely laugh-free 83 minutes, spent in the company of irritating characters.
Aug 21, 2008
Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone strike a level of chemistry that makes the whole much more than the sum of its parts.
Aug 18, 2008
There are a few funny ideas, but overall it's silly, schmaltzy and sentimental, as father and daughter take a road trip and discover love, trust and letting go are paramount to their relationship
