Synopsis
Deciding which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time of a young woman's life...unless your formidable, overprotective father isn't quite ready to let you go. In the Disney family comedy COLLEGE ROAD TRIP, Melanie is eagerly looking forward to taking her first big step towards independence when she plans a "Girls only" road trip to check out prospective universities. However, when her imposing police-chief dad insists on escorting her instead, she soon finds her dream trip turning into a hilarious, nightmare adventure full of comical misfortune and turmoil. Dad wants to assure total security and safety for his precious daughter, while Melanie has a 17-year-old's need to become a grown woman and have her own sense of independence. Now, even as dad and daughter bicker, banter and careen from one funny disaster to the next on their journey, they are about to discover that, sometimes, going that extra mile to be together can forge a family bond so strong it can withstand anything - even wild curves ahead.
