Watch First Daughter For Free

One of my all time favorites.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is interesting to see actor Forest Whitaker directing, and narrating, this chick flick teen romantic comedy. The teenage daughter of U.S. President John Mackenzie (Michael Keaton), Samantha (Katie Holmes) is going off to college hoping to have a normal life without the Secret Service keeping an eye on her, but they are. They are agreeing to give her a little space, but she meets James Lansome (Marc Blucas) who is secretly an undercover agent playing a student. In the time they spend together, Samantha - the first daughter, and James fall in love, until of course she learns his real identity, and has words to say to her Dad, but don't worry, everything is settled in the end. Also starring singer Amerie as Mia Thompson, Margaret Colin as Melanie Mackenzie, Independence Day's Lela Rochon Fuqua as Liz Pappas, Michael Milhoan as Agent Bock, Dwayne Adway as Agent Dylan and a brief Joan Rivers. This is one of those films that might have a good title and have one or two good people, but it turns out to be one of the most boring films ever, I just couldn't get into it, and it was just about a waste of time. Pretty poor!

Samantha Mackenzie, (Katie Holmes) plays the role of a President's daughter who has to live under the close rules of the White House and has Secret Agents always at her elbows no matter what she does and really has no life of her own. Michael Keaton, (President Mackenzie) is a good President and loves his family but like any President he has very little time to spend with this wife or daughter. James Lansome, (Marc Blucas) is a Secret Agent who is Samantha's special body guard and after being with her for quite a few years, begins to fall in love with her and does not seem to realize what is happening. However, Samantha feels a great warmth growing inside of her whenever she see James Lansome and a spark starts to become a flame between the two of them. There is some behind the scenes between these two lovers and all kinds of problems come between Samantha and James. This story is very realistic as I am sure many such things have happened in the White House with quite a few First Daughter's. Enjoy.

Okay, the idea of the American President's daughter breaking away from her life under the media microscope and going to college isn't a bad one, but I felt it could have been done more justice.Nearly the whole film felt like it had been dipped in chocolate fondue it was that sappy.I expected more excitement, the kind of exciting and hilarious adventures you see these teenagers have at college in movies, but in this film hilarity and vigour failed to ensure.There were a few moments which were entertaining though, and that was when Sam (Katie Holmes) was trying to make James (Marc Blucas) jealous of her so he would show his affection for her (which entailed buying a heap of pregnancy tests). Yeah...that and the bitch fight scene between Sam and Mia (Amerie) were the only parts in the whole film that really appealed to me.I often wonder why professional and grown up actors go for such lame parts in teeny flicks like these...But then again, work is work and if I was getting paid some good cash then I would degrade myself to that level of shame.Speaking of teeny movies, this one's a little soft for the mental capacity of the average teen, so I would recommend it to tweens instead. It's predictable and insipid.I mean, who could stand to watch Katie Holmes (pretty as she is) waltz around in slow motion for nearly a quarter of the movie? This film is really badly written, with sappy and symbolic dialogue crammed in waaay to much.Leave it for the tweens. If they can stand it...

Favorite movie, Katie & Marc's chemistry is awesome. Hope they will come back with a Continuation of the First Daughter 2, after college.Just a smooth, easy watching movie, that keeps you right there, no matter how many times you watch it. Watch any and all the movies that play on T>V> either with Marc Blucas & or Katie Holms. And she is from my area, her home town, Toledo, Ohio, is only 35 mi. from my town.If I had to choose, between Tom Cruise, ( and I really like his movies too, Top Gun) or Marc, Marc would win. They make First Daughter the great movie it is., and one I'll watch over & over again, and again.
