Television director Andy Cadiff turns toward feature films to direct the romantic comedy Chasing Liberty, which appears to be loosely based on the 1953 Audrey Hepburn classic Roman Holiday. Mandy Moore stars as Anna Foster, the 18-year-old daughter of President of the United States James Foster (Mark Harmon). Anna has led quite a privileged life, but she has grown to resist the constant presence of Secret Service agents getting in the way of her independence. While on a family trip to Europe, Anna manages to get away from security for a brief time. She inevitably falls into the romantic arms of British boy Ben Calder (Matthew Goode), with whom she enjoys a fresh and clean European vacation. Not wanting to ruin her fun, she doesn't tell him about her upper-class social status. But, alas, Ben surprises her with a secret identity of his own. Jeremy Piven and Annabella Sciorra play two Secret Service agents. Caroline Goodall plays the wise, conventional First Lady. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

First off, a little disclaimer. I love Mandy Moore.
That being said, I loved this movie. Before you conclude that that is a direct consequence of my first statement, let me also say that I did *not* enjoy "How to Deal" (another Mandy Moore movie). This one however... was, in a word, charming.
Mandy Moore is absolutely perfect as the President's daughter. Unless your heart is made of stone, you will absolutely fall in love with her angsty antics, her sweet demeanor, and her upbeat attitude. I know many of you reading this are skeptical -- but quite honestly, I've never watched a film that made me feel so good. Chasing Liberty is the ultimate "feel-good" film, and a great deal of its success lies in the fact that it does not stretch itself and try to be anything more than that. If you are looking for a pick-me-up, to be entertained for 2 hours, a movie to watch with a date, or anything "just for fun", this film will do just nicely. |
