| I remember when I first heard about this movie several years ago, about how it was the brainchild of Jerry O'Connell, that goofy guy from equally goofy movies like Kangaroo Jack and Tomcats. When I finally saw this movie, I realized that I couldn't expect anything less from Jerry O'Connell. I'm not quite sure if that's a compliment... but I still enjoyed this movie. It's very formula, very sappy, yet there's something about Katie Holmes and Marc Blucas that just sorta clicked.
This is a sweet little movie about daddy's (the President's) little girl, who just wants to have a normal life without the photographers or the swarming secret service. Her respite is a college 3,000 miles away from that big, white house she lives in. Her conflicts include a jealous roommate who's used to being the center of attention, bad press because of her "crazy" behavior at a couple of parties, and meeting and falling for the totally hot resident advisor (Blucas). Michael Keaton co-stars as the President and Jerry O'Connell provides an unneeded, extremely cheesy narration at the beginning and end.
Yes, this movie is very similar to Chasing Libery, a film that I actually like better, mainly because Mandy Moore's turn as the First Daughter had more punch and less sap. The one thing I liked better about First Daughter is the way the "big twist" is handled, which I won't giveaway here... though I will say that in First Daughter I was surprised and in Chasing Liberty I expected it. I probably didn't expect the twist in this movie because I had already seen it once and didn't think the movies would be quite that similar, but oh well, it was handled better here. Added all up, however, Chasing Liberty wins... but certainly don't ignore this one. It's kinda cute and kinda funny and just the perfect remedy for a dull Friday night for you to curl up on the couch and eat ice cream. RECOMMENDED. |

| I thought the movie was great and very enjoyable. I love good old fashion, cutesy love stories. I have watched it about 4 times in the last week and it is just an adorable movie. I have taped it and plan to share it with others. I particularly liked the ballroom dancing scenes. The romance is innocent and engaging. With all the blood, guts, guns and over-the-top violence that we're seeing in today's movies, it's good to have this heart-warming movie as a reminder that life can still be beautiful. Please tell me if there is a soundtrack available--the music was great as well. Thanks |

| Well, as much as I dislike Katie Holmes and her squeaky voice, I got this to fill the girlie movie requirement of a rental night marathon. Forest Whitaker does have a touch with female-skewed movies. The movie was rather cute, actually. Although I wish Katie's ribs weren't showing while she was wearing the blue bikini in the beginning - why oh why can't actresses these days have a little meat on them? - she played the role with charm. And there was certainly good chemistry between her and Marc Blucas (who I had no complaints about on viewing him sans sweatshirt). The whole thing had feel of a modern fairy tale - which was obviously intended and not a bad thing. Feel-good, enjoyable escapist fare. And we all need a getaway sometimes. |
