Surprisingly entertaining teenage romantic comedy
21 June 2004
I never expected this romantic comedy made for the teenage audience to be so entertaining. Mandy Moore gives us an endearing interpretation as Anna, the daughter of the President of the United States, rebelling against her lack of freedom and the difficulties of her love life. She takes on the opportunity to travel to Prague when his parents are on an official visit, and tries to get away from the strict security staff she's permanently surrounded with, to experience some freedom as a anonymous teenager. In Prague, she meets handsome brit Ben (Matthew Goode), who was perfectly casted for his role of an aloof, dutiful secret agent who, predictably, falls in love with Anna while trying to protect her while chasing her through several European cities. Both Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode offer very good and believable interpretations of their characters, which together with the beautiful scenery, more than make up for the not-so-original dialogue. Chasing Liberty is a good bet for those who like this type of genre.
