Movie Reviews

text only version

The following is a brief movie review of "Chasing Liberty."

"Chasing Liberty" (Warner Bros.)
Conventional teenage romantic comedy about the president's daughter (Mandy Moore), who, frustrated that her every move is monitored, ditches her Secret Service handlers while traveling abroad with her father (Mark Harmon) and embarks on an impromptu European adventure, aided and abetted by a dashing Brit (Matthew Goode) with a secret of his own. While giving parent-teen angst apresidential twist, there is little to hail about director Andy Cadiff's touching on issues of independence and parental trust while seemingly equating personal freedom with irresponsible behavior. An implied sexual encounter, some sexual humor, brief rear nudity, and minimal mildly crude language. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents are strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
