Road Trip (G) 83 minutes.

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.

South Philly working girl Angie Ostrowiski
to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple
enough. After learning from the steely head

the apartment and researching top pre-schools.
But the executive's well-organized strategy
is turned upside down when her Baby Mama
shows up at her doorstep with no place to
live. An unstoppable force meets an immovable
object as structured Kate tries to turn
vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant
mom. In a comic battle of wills, they will

he loves is to beat Royalton at his own
game. With the support of his family and
