Could anyone forget Jody (Forest Whitaker) in the Crying Game? I have followed his career ever since, and think he is a good director, great with small details. This humorous comedy/romance with some pathos (First Daughter has no freedom, falls for a beautiful guy (he is so attractive) only to learn he is a Secret Service Agent posing as a college residence adviser. Heartache, but Katie Holmes, also a fine actress (now engaged to Tom Cruse, let's not forget her as an actress because of him,) plays her role convincingly . I loved this light but interesting story - perfect escape , with many clever touches that a masterful Whitaker (as Director) gets into the scenes. I did feel that Michael Keaton (one of my favorites) was too short and still looks too young for the job of President. Katie and the First Lady both had to bend to dance with him. Katie is 5 foot 9 inches talI. I think giving this movie a 9 our of 10 is only fair with so many users putting it down. Perhaps they are too cynical to enjoy a romantic little movie. Cast, scenes, are all terrific. I hope to see more of Marc Blucas, who played an understated, in love, Secret Service Agant magnificantly.
