One of the best films i have seen

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This story has been done many times before, and better. But it has not been done more attractively. Forest Whittacker shows some talent as a director, but the script lets him down somewhat. It is not that there is anything really wrong with the movie; it just fails to deliver any kind of true punch. One waits for something major to happen, and it never really does.The title character, played by Katie Holmes, is just too good. She keeps her composure and suffers silently, but never really seems to break out. Her chemistry with a male student is good, but we kinda know that he is more than he appears. How do we know? Because we have seen it all before and this rendering did not try to vary or surprise. There is no chemistry at all between Holmes and her room-mate, played by Amelie, who is touted to be a well off kid, a BAP, but turns into the irritating know-it-all black character from the hood who has to teach the dumb white person how to live.Also surprisingly flat is Michael Keaton's portrayal of the president/father character. He does not come off particularly presidential or fatherly; Keaton is capable of better.The movie is a pleasant watch, but don't get your hopes up for any big turning point, as in, say, Guarding Tess. I hope Whittacker tries again and refines his director's chops with a better script.

Samantha Mackenzie, (Katie Holmes) plays the role of a President's daughter who has to live under the close rules of the White House and has Secret Agents always at her elbows no matter what she does and really has no life of her own. Michael Keaton, (President Mackenzie) is a good President and loves his family but like any President he has very little time to spend with this wife or daughter. James Lansome, (Marc Blucas) is a Secret Agent who is Samantha's special body guard and after being with her for quite a few years, begins to fall in love with her and does not seem to realize what is happening. However, Samantha feels a great warmth growing inside of her whenever she see James Lansome and a spark starts to become a flame between the two of them. There is some behind the scenes between these two lovers and all kinds of problems come between Samantha and James. This story is very realistic as I am sure many such things have happened in the White House with quite a few First Daughter's. Enjoy.

Katie Holmes looked great and those Vera Wang gowns especially the light pink one is extraordinary and worth watching for! I enjoyed this movie as a light fluffy retreat, I don't think it's as bad as the ratings say. I thought the chemistry was just right between Katie and James. I do think the acting was believable and the dad and mom were particularly good. I wish the ending had been a little different though because I thought it was left a little too open. I wanted her to run off in the car with James.My favorite moment was the day she flew them out on Airforce one, it was a fairytale kind of moment.

This is what we find in this very simple but definitely watchable romantic movie.Katie Holmes in the title role looks absolutely gorgeous and others like Michael Keaton as US President,Marc Blucas as her lover,Amerie as her vivacious room-mate in college all do justice to their roles as well.The story line might be clichéd but the presentation is good and overall acting is quite decent.I personally feel that its a nicely made romantic movie which you can watch with all members of the family,contrary to present genre of so-called romantic movies.The much used 'Princess-meets-the-common-man-and-what-happens- there-after' theme has been handled very nicely.It really proves that Love really doesn't have any boundaries after-all.
