First Daughter

THE GIRL WHO ALWAYS STOOD OUT IS FINALLY GETTING THE CHANCE TO FIT IN.Ā 

Samantha Mackenzie (Katie Holmes), the Presidentā€™s daughter, goes to college with her Secret Service detail in tow; she starts dating a guy (Marc Blucas) but thereā€™s something heā€™s not telling her. Itā€™s hard to see what director Forest Whitaker saw in this shallow romantic comedy. It shares themes with another film from that year, Chasing Liberty, and eventually it turns into a second-rate Bodyguard (1992), but Iā€™m sure preteens will like it well enough. Still, was it necessary to make Blucasā€™s character so stupid and unprofessional?

2004-U.S. 104 min. Color. Directed byĀ Forest Whitaker. Cast: Katie Holmes (Samantha Mackenzie), Marc Blucas (James Lansome), Amerie (Mia Thompson), Michael Keaton, Margaret Colin, Lela Rochon Fuqua.
