Consensus:
Filled with shrill gags and middling slapstick, College Road Trip is woefully short on comic imagination.

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.

Children might find the slapstick routines amusing, but for older viewers this is a mirthless voyage.

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.

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.

As expected, his plan unravels within minutes of leaving the driveway.

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.

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.

Martin Lawrence sits sheepishly low behind the wheel for this meandering drive through comedy hell.

Even with a brief running time, ‘College Road Trip’ is an ordeal that even its target audience will find dispiritingly lame.

Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone strike a level of chemistry that makes the whole much more than the sum of its parts.

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

...precisely the sort of over-the-top and unapologetically silly endeavor one might've anticipated...

The trailer looks like absolute garbage, but the movie itself was a lot less painful than I thought. It's still not good, just mediocre.

One does not watch College Road Trip. One encounters it. Endures it. Accepts its challenge.

The intended show-stopper: a singalong of 'Double Dutch Bus' with a busload of Japanese tourists.
