This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

In this fictional semi-parodic comedy intended for the youth, we follow the life of United States President's daughter, who is having hard time trying to lead the life of a normal girl of her age, while dealing with paparazzi, security surveillance, and electoral needs of her dad.This does not deliver a reflection on the antinomic nexus between private freedom and public popularity, since «Una teenager alla Casa Bianca» is in fact a long instalment of a TV series such as Dawson's Creek stretched into the film format. Katie Holmes is a stunning beauty, who gained popularity through Dawson's Creek (and, at later time, marriage with Tom Cruise), but this is quite separate a matter with being able to perform in real films, which is not the case for her nor for the couple of TV-series kind of performers she's been paired with this time — her foreseeably beautiful college friend (Ameriie) and predictably handsome wanna-be boyfriend (Marc Blucas), who'd instantly appear ludicrous if weighed as actual film actors.Aside from the absolute inability to express whatever emotion of the entire cast (except for a wasted Keaton, however made impotent by non-existent screenplay), there is nothing specially despicable if taken for what it is and not for a film, and I advise Dawson's Creek or generic teenage TV series fans to watch this one: it's a long, entertaining episode.

I recorded this on VHS a few years ago as it was on TV and the reason is because I am a sucker for Rom coms so I decided to check it out.The movie is kind of a rip off of Chasing Liberty where you've got a president's daughter who falls in love with a guy who is a secret agent.Katie Holmes(aka Mrs Tom Cruise) plays Sam a young girl who's dad is the president of the United States (aka Micheal Keaton). She is sick of being stuck in the white house she decides to move to college and become a normal teenager. She meets a guy named James(Marc Blucas) who is smitten with but what she doesn't know is that he is a secret agent in disguise so that he can keep a close eye on her for the president.The cast is OK,I don't really like Katie Holmes who is too sly and not very friendly, Marc Blucas is hot in this movie as a secret agent,Micheal Keaton as a president OMG they should have gave it to Ralph Fiennes,the music was alright, the chemistry between Blucas & Holmes was nice and sweet.The only downside I have to this movie is the horrible ending as she drove off in her Volkswagon Bettle and you hear the narrator saying and she will return in the spring and James will wait for her but thats another story, I thought she'd kiss James and live happily ever after but NO the stupid people who came up with it wanted to give it a crap ending that will put us to sleep (zzzzzzzzzzz). Best scene was that dance (just the way you look tonight)which I truly enjoyed and the rest of the movie was great but not Oscar worthy but the stupid beeping ending was awful.For the film a 5/10 for the stupid ending 1/10

Samantha; the Presidents daughter is off to college and finds the stress of being the First Dauhter extremely hard and she ends up meeting James.James shows Samantha a world she has never seen or experienced only for it to broken when she finds out James real agenda in 'hanging' around her.He is a federal agent, protecting her.The film is a charming film brilliantly directed by Forest Whitaker.Katie Holmes plays the role of the good girl perfectly while Blucas shines as the agent. (Similar to a role he played in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Michael Keaton is very funny as the President and father; while Amerie adds spice to the sweet mannered movie.

...but I *love* this movie. It makes me happy. So maybe it's a little too saccharine-y, but with all the craziness/sadness/horrible-ness in the world today, I'll take all the sugar (substitutes) I can get. I can even get past the 'What the...?' scene in the boat because I liked the movie so much.I see it as a fairy tale. Cinderella, but with a twist. SPOILER ALERTI even like the way it ended -- despite my being a happily-into-the-sunset kind of person. In fact, I like that it wasn't quite so pat, but instead gave the girl the cake AND the chance to eat it too. On her terms. And the dance at the end makes me swoon.
