If you are babysitting or are still hanging out with your young cousins for the Holidays and are forced to watch a movie with them watch College Road Trip. It's rated G so there aren't even going to be any semi-awkward moments. It stars Raven-Symone (who you might know as the cute little girl from "Hanging With Mr. Cooper" in the 90's or "That's So Raven" a Nickelodeon tween comedy). I was suprised to find her physical, dry humor made me laugh out loud. The part of her mother is played by Brenda Song (the hilarious weed smoking hussy mom in Friday's almost more funny follow up, Next Friday. Not to be confused with crap heap follow up to that, Friday After Next). Best part? Martin is in it, sort of acting like Martin 15 years later as a control freak Police Chief with an over-achieving daughter who is heading to college. Did I mention he is a tad bit over the top; trying to get his daughter to go to college 40 minutes away at Northwestern instead of 700 miles away at her dream school Georgetown? All the wackiness of a Rated G comedy ensues but I actually laughed through a lot of it. And I admit, I cried at the end, it gets really emotional. But yea, the whole family will like it, it has a funny happy ending, a weird little brother character played by some adorable little black kid, great odd characters and a very smart family pig as a pet. It even has a funny part where they are on a bus full of Japanese Karaoke Enthusiasts singing Double Dutch Bus. Go out and rent it for the kids, or hey, rent it for yourself. I won't judge:)
