Somewhere in Hollywood around 2003 someone obviously thought it was time to remake 'Roman Holiday' for the noughties, and that thought became 'Chasing Liberty', a film that apes that classic film for all it's worth.It's not a bad film, it has some charm. Mandy Moore carries the film a lot better than she would do later in 'License to Wed' and Matthew Goode plays a sarcastic Brit well. In fact he would later play a very similar role in the Amy Adams vehicle 'Leap Year', a film he'd later slate.It's one of those teen rom-com's though where the supporting characters steal the show, and in this case it's Jeremy Piven as a FBI agent.It's not an overly original film, but it has some nice enough moments.

I was forced to watch this movie and suffered a lot because of all the crap. I am writing this review to prevent other people from suffering the agony i did. I mean you filmed a couple of cows crapping and filmed it it would still be better than this movie. There were so stupid scenes in it for example there was a scene where a group of people got the presidents daughter in a circle and pushed her around and the girl started crying. She started crying because they pushed her i mean who cries because he or she got pushed in a circle? Then she fell down and our Spanish muscular guy came to save her. He took her, carried her to a chopper in slow motion (definetely not a cliché) And at the beginning of the movie she runs out of a disco because she realizes there are people trying to keep her safe at the night club. She gets out and asks our Spanish muscular guy(who was a stranger at the time) if she can have a ride on his Vespa (very muscular vehicle indeed). They get on the Vespa and somehow manage to escape from a SUV with the Vespa (Bcause it is a known fact that all Vespas are faster than SUV's). The movie didn't make any sense and was extremely stupid. Do not watch this movie because you will regret it

Charming romantic comedy which definitely shows the pitfalls when you're the daughter of the President of the United States. Besides constantly being under scrutiny, you always have to deal with the secret service.In this story, the first daughter is 18 and after her date is literally ruined by the secret service, she demands independence. Her father's idea is to have a secret service agent as her love interest and true to form, the story shows how they fall in love. She doesn't know who he is.The story is one how they go off together, but he hesitates in making love to her because of his position.With the scenes of Austria, I thought I'd hear Edelweiss and the hills are alive with the sound of music, especially when they are walking along the countryside.The picture, a good one, doesn't have terrorists lurking in the background. In fact, any trouble comes from our own Americans near the end of the cute film.

This movie is terrible. It's like the actors were phoning in their lines. The exciting parts were good but obviously done by stunt doubles. The scenery was good but undoubtedly faked. The crowd scene was the only good part. And the motorcycle rides were okay. The story was silly and unbelievable. This is obviously a movie for girls under the age of 13. I love Matthew Goode but even he couldn't save this movie. If you want to see Matthew Goode in a good romantic comedy try Leap Year. It has a better script, better acting (Matthew is amazing) and about adults unlike Chasing Liberty that shows immature, clueless characters.
