Storyline
Ray Bradstone (Levesque) is the best wheel man in the business, but he is determined to go straight and be the best parent he can be to his daughter, Sally (Winter), and make amends with his ex-wife, Lynne (Gish). As Ray struggles to find honest work, his old bank-robbing crew, led by Phillip Larue (Corrigan), offers him one last job. He agrees at first, but changes his mind at the last second leaving the crew without a driver. Ray decides instead to serve as a chaperone for Sally's school field trip. When the robbery goes awry, Larue blames Ray and chases the school bus all the way to the Museum of Natural History in New Orleans. Ray must deal with Larue, while supervising Sally's class on what becomes one of the craziest school trips ever.

User Review

Chaperone actually delivers

Rating: 6/10


Now I can probably guess what most of the people would think when
hearing about this film for the first time. We have a WWE produced
family comedy/light drama with wrestler Triple H in the title role. He
doesn't quite look like the guy for this kinda role but then again we
shouldn't judge the book by its cover. In truth Triple H can actually
act. I found myself believing his acting and liking his character. I
gotta say I enjoyed this movie more than some of Steve Austins action
bloodbaths. If I was to give you some advice itd be go see this without
prejudice. Leave expectations at the door and just go with the flow –
the ride ain't half bad.
