College Road Trip

[NappyBison]

She's one of the few child-stars that I can recall, who hasn't made a complete fool of herself as a person. She's made a good transition from child-star to a mature actress. I'm pretty sure she's got her flaws but in the public eye she maintains that whole "good girl" status.

We might be assuming she's a great person because of these attributes and who is to say that she doesn't lead a life of reckless sexcapades, alcohol binges, etc??? I'm not saying she is a saint but her actions, up until this present time, don't suggest otherwise.

Maybe it's just me, but I think she's embarrassed herself as an actress with the roles she takes on. They're all goofy, physical comedy roles that usually incorporate her singing skills. And I say this as a person with a lot of knowledge of the work she has done (Disney Channel is on 24/7 in my house for my little sisters).

College Road Trip just seemed to be another chance for Raven to make outrageous faces, do physical comedy, and get another job done as an actress. But maybe that's just me.

While I do not like her as an actress, I will agree that it is nice not see her name plastered in the news for negative things like Lohan and Spears.

What is wrong with physical comedy? Maybe that is her intent...to be a comedic actress.

If comedy is what she wants to do then that's great. Comedians are a special type of people. It would be a bit out of place to see someone like a Stephen Colbert or a Jenny McCarthy or a Jim Carrey be in a super serious role like Macbeth or Queen Elizabeth (even if they might be good at it).

On the other hand, maybe Raven does want to be the next (female) Daniel Day Lewis or Charlize Theron and no one will give her the opportunity because of her body type or past roles, typecasting, or whatever reason.
