Synopsis:

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 nightmare full of 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 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.

Strengths

•    a nice and decent comedy
•    a complete family entertainer
•    genuine performances
•    something special for every father-daughter relationship
•    a genuine effort by the director

Flaws

•    Its hard to highlight any negative aspects of the movie so far
•    But yes, certain unecessary details could have been omitted
•    For the teenagers seeking hot steamy sex scenes or partial nudity, its really disappointing

All in all, a nice entertainer
