College Road Trip is a 2008 American family comedy film directed by Roger Kumble and starring Martin Lawrence, Kym Whitley, Raven-Symoné, Brenda Song, Margo Harshman, and Donny Osmond.

The film centers on college-bound teen Melanie Porter (Raven-Symoné), who goes on a road trip to different universities with her family, including her overprotective father.

However, her father James Porter, the chief of police in the quiet Chicago suburb where they live, is overprotective of his family, including Melanie, and is not ready for her to leave and study so far away from home.

They meet an overly optimistic father and daughter duo, Doug and Wendy, who are on their own road trip.

Although promotions for the film aired on Disney Channel Australia, a confirmed date for the movie to begin screening in theatres was never given.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Filled with shrill gags and middling slapstick, College Road Trip is woefully short on comic imagination.
