Formulaic comfort food for the teen crowd.

Though it all happens pretty fast, the romance feels earned with fluffy dedications of love, but don't be fooled: Chasing Liberty's screenplay can get a bit rough.

Watched when I was a teen with my sister. It was a very good time. And exhilarating.

A rom-com with a premise that might be a bit far fetched: a lone secret service agent secretly put on the job of watching the president's daughter while she's snuck off and travels through Europe thinking that he's just sweet on her? Of course, the inevitable happens, he falls for her, she falls for him and at the most inopportune moment she finds out who he really is. Yet, in the end, it all ends well. [Opera Music Crescendo]. Thumbs up on Moore & Goode's performances as well as Piven & Sciorra, who finally take a plunge of their own. Harmon makes a good president & a concerned father.

The cast is always good but the story lead character too childish and story too contrived.

This was such a 90s romcom movie hangover that was just so.. ew. It's definitely now one of those midday movies that you have on while visiting family or something. And that is exactly how I came to watch this crap. All the Europe travel hopping made me nostalgic for the days we could to go to a big festival like Pride again!

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