rating: 4 *Okay Movie*
A nice little movie for fans of Mandy Moore.I really like romantic comedies and this was one.Okay movie. February 3, 2008

rating: 2 disappointing
I agree with many previous posters that the portrayal of inept Secret Service agents is kind of scary. However, that's not why I didn't like the movie. I was disturbed that a supposedly intelligent and politically savvy daughter of the President would so little value herself as to throw herself at anyone willing to take her virginity. Of course, Ben resisted her the first time, but gave in when it seemed the alternative was to witness her hooking up with GusGus. Where was her pride and where was his sense of decency?

It also bothered me that the McGruff character was treated so lightly after his theft of their money left the pair penniless in Europe.

On another note, Mandy Moore is a beautiful and statuesque young woman. They should cast her opposite a similar physical type. Matthew Goode is tall enough but looks like a pinhead pencil neck geek paired with Mandy. Is anyone else bothered by the fact her head is bigger than his? September 17, 2007

rating: 4 Am I Too Old?
I think this film was made for the teeny-bopper set and my own daughter (who was a teeny-bopper) dissed it because her set was very critical of Mandy Moore's move from singing to acting. Still, this movie was for ME. A romantic comedy with a cute male lead! May 27, 2007

rating: 4 A cute movie
While the story line is pretty predictable, I do enjoy the work of Mandy Moore, she is a talented actress that contributed to this movie. March 30, 2007

rating: 4 fun movie without the political bs
Chasing Liberty does exactly what it is supposed to do: it takes a look at the life of the First Daughter, without choosing political sides or trying to be "politically correct" in a world that is already far too politically correct. Regardless of whether you are a fan of Moore's musical career, it's hard not to find her dazzling as Anna, and Goode looks to have a promising future in the entertainment world. I don't know who hires these so-called "critics" that write the reviews for amazon, but clearly they don't know much about the entertainment world, since they find Moore's character to be an "idiot" to run around Europe, oblivious to terrorism. Now, maybe it's just a temporary IQ drop or something, but seems to me that a self-proclaimed "movie critic" should understand that movies are FICTION and made for ENTERTAINMENT purposes, not necessarily for realism. It's supposed to be fun. If you want to watch people running from terrorists, turn on CNN and watch the war in Iraq. If you want entertainment, ignore the so-called critics and check out Chasing Liberty. March 29, 2007
