Sam isn't a character, which doesn't leave Katie Holmes much to do. The romance with Blucas' secret service agent isn't interesting and the narrative seems stuck on repeat. Plus: there's some weird sexual chemistry between the President and First Daughter

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2023

Very predictable, but tween girls may like it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2010

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Yet another teen-princess fantasy.

| Feb 27, 2007

Perhaps the only redeeming factor is that both the President and the First Lady are devoted to their daughter. Otherwise, this film should be impeached.

Full Review | Original Score: .5/4 | Nov 17, 2006

Sweet but unremarkable, First Daughter is never quite as cute as its star.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 31, 2006

The President's little girl gets a pity party for the second time this election year.

| Jun 24, 2006

[A] gimmick-driven disaster.

| Original Score: 0/4 | May 26, 2006

Holmes' wholesome charm keeps the movie afloat, but only just.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2006

If you must see one of the two Presidential daughter movies - this is the one to see. But like Chasing Liberty, it never delivers on the potential of the premise.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 7, 2005

This stunning lack of inspiration is reflected in a script that continually hints at how teenagers have become disenchanted with politics without ever following it up.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2005

Keaton and Holmes should seriously consider firing their agents, as they both deserve better than this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2005

...basically entertaining - particularly if approached on the same level one approaches a sitcom.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2005

The movie's most interesting character is Agent Dylan (Dwayne Adway) because he almost never says anything. Would that all the actors had been so eloquent.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 20, 2005

Merely another sugary confection rolling off that increasingly bland Hollywood conveyer belt

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 13, 2005

...didn't Mandy Moore do this film back in January?

Full Review | Original Score: D+ | Oct 24, 2004

Stupendously dull and infuriatingly obtuse, this is the cinematic equivalent of unflavored gelatin, bland and tasteless, but much less beneficial for your nails.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 19, 2004

Unfortunately, the screenplay quickly descends into utter illogic, and ... Whitaker fails to sustain the fairy-tale atmosphere he's so clearly striving for.

| Oct 14, 2004

You try binge drinking when you're followed around by two burly Secret Service agents.

| Oct 11, 2004

rather engaging...Holmes is a delight
