Format:DVD
Chasing Liberty is unoriginal in it's plot, but is a great easy going film where you can enjoy european scenery, romance and of course looking at the absolutely gorgeous Matthew Goode.
Mandy Moore is likeable in her performance as Anna Foster (the president's daughter), but the star of the film has to be the smooth and very charming secret service agent Ben Calder (Matthew Goode)who makes Chasing Liberty a must see.
Not a complex plot but definitely well worth watching.

A scenario that has been done before ('My Date With the President's Daughter', 'First Daughter'), irritating spoilt brat Anna (played by Mandy Moore) tries to escape her controlling parents. as she flees across Europe, what she doesn't know is that she has been set up. Good-looking, intelligent charmer Ben (Matthew Goode) is an agent hired by her parents.
You may, like me, find Moore's character to be less sweet and naive and more demanding and stupid. However, despite the cliches and inaccurate stereotypes (the President amusingly claims he has to convince Europe to increase aid to poorer nations, for example), the film is pleasantly watchable.
The scenery is interesting to watch, the minor characters can be comical, but in my opinion what saves this film is the performance of Matthew Goode. He plays smooth, sophisticated Ben in a way that will attract many romantics to this film!
If you enjoyed the film, the extra features are paritcularly good, including a commentary by Moore and Goode on the film.

Format:DVD
A romantic comedy with plenty of both and a familiar topic: the President's daughter of America. Having been cooped up in the White House for too long and followed around incessantly by bodyguards, Anna yearns for the notorious American dream more than anyone else, and that's freedom. The liberty to go someplace without being recognised and asked for autographs and the liberty to have a first date which isn't ruined by bodyguards pouncing on your date's friend because he dared to reach into his pocket. Protesting to her father has come to no avail, thus she takes matters into her own hands and runs off during a presidential visit to Prague. With a new-found travelling companion, who is of course a dashing young fellow, Anna ventures from Prague to Venice to Berlin, with bodyguards hopelessly trying to keep up. The chase is on, but who will get caught unawares? An amiable, feel-good movie that is good for what it is, but has little scope for much else.

Harmless and fun though unoriginal
Mandy Moore goes through the chick flick motions again, as "cute girl with romance problems". On this occasion, her obstacle to romance is the fact she is the President's daughter... Read more
