First Daughter (2004)


Vern from Stand by Me
The movie was penned by Jerry O’Connell, who you may remember as the chubby but loveable Vern from Stand By Me. Who has matured into a very attractive young gent, but not too crafty as a screenplay writer. This movie makes me question if he really fell off the train tracks while filming Stand by Me and hit his head causing damage to the portion of his brain that is responsible for logic.

When you hear that Forest Whitaker is attached to a film you automatically think it will be a quality movie. Throw in Katie Holmes as the feature star and you still think you’re going to love it. Add Michael Keaton to the mix and you know it’ll be worth your money at the box office. Not so fast people…this movie had some great names attached to but unfortunately it took a wrong turn somewhere.

Here is a synopsis courtesy of RottenTomatoes.com:

“Samantha Mackenzie (KATIE HOLMES) has fame and glamour, but she just wants what every college freshman wants: the opportunity to experience the world away from home and, most importantly, away from her parents. She just wants to be treated like anyone else. To be? normal.

But it?s not going to be easy, because Sam?s home address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and her dad is John Mackenzie (MICHAEL KEATON), the President of the United States.

Now living thousands of miles away from the White House, Sam hopes that being out on her own means she?ll be free of the constraints of being the First Daughter. But everywhere she turns there?s a Secret Service agent at the ready, and her fellow freshmen won?t let her stop being the most famous student in the country.

Sam?s roommate, Mia (AMERIE), is determined to have fun ? and take Sam along for the ride. Sam?s adventures get even more interesting when she meets and falls head over heels for James (MARC BLUCAS), the Resident Advisor in her dorm. College ? and life ? has even more surprises and challenges in store for Sam, and she?s determined to discover where she belongs, what she wants, and who she really is.”
