From ComingSoon.net:

Disney has bought a feature treatment and the underlying feature film rights to manuscript The Last Lap from writer Mike Leonard, reports Variety. Disney-based producers Rachel Pfeffer, Jennifer Gibgot, and Adam Shankman will produce the film.

The comedy is based on the true story of Leonard, a Chicago-based feature correspondent for NBC's "The Today Show" who drops everything to rent an RV to travel across America for a month with his funny and eccentric elderly parents to see the places and people who shaped their lives. Riding behind them in another RV are Leonard's three grown children. The journey ends with the birth of Leonard's granddaughter.

Shankman is eyeing the project to direct. Pic will be produced by Pfeffer's Pfeffer Film and Shankman's Offspring Entertainment.

i've seen the segments on tv, and they were pretty good. i don't think that it could stand up to a movie though.
