Critic Reviews

  • Charles Taylor, Salon.com

    Forgettable fluff but it left me in an unaccountably bad mood, mainly because it's a step back for Mandy Moore.

  • Laura Sinagra, Village Voice

    Moore's lip-glossed petulance never catches fire with Goode's canned drollery.

  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

    It's one TV-movie romp that Kristy McNichol never got around to starring in.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Chasing Liberty will probably win over as many fuddy-duddy fathers as fillies with its mixture of sweetness tempered with genial cynicism.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    An endless, virtually laugh-free pastiche of Aaron Sorkin by way of Aaron Spelling.

    Just a really sweet romantic comedy about how you can fall in love with anybody. I also just loved Weiss & Morales, and was so happy when they finally kissed. What can I say I love romance! :) Also Anna & Ben were just perfect :) I love it :) Such an amazing movie (:

    The best 'president daughter' type of film that I've seen. This puts 'First Daughter' to shame. Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode make an adorable couple and I really enjoyed the whole story line despite knowing what the end would be like.

    Anna Foster has no personality. All I can infer from the past hour and fifty minutes is that she whines, fishes for compliments, and all-around fails at actually taking care of herself. Still, Matthew Goode is rather luscious candy for the eyes and ears. He even gets one of those… More

    <i>"Every family has a rebel. Even the First Family."</i> Anna Foster has never had an ordinary life. At eighteen years old, she is the most protected girl in America; she is the First Daughter... <center><font size=+2 face="Century… More

    I've seen this type of movie before - President's daughter needs to get away from the constance surveillance and goes on a wild adventure in Europe with no money. Not too realistic, but fun to watch regardless.
