Chasing Liberty
cast: Mandy Moore, Matthew Goode, Jeremy Piven, Annabella Sciorra, Mark Harmon, Caroline Goodall, Stark Sands
director: Andy Cadiff
Anna Foster ( Mandy Moore ) - on a diplomatic trip with his parents, she got the promise from his father for a single night of freedom, without the regular battalion of secret service agents that protect her from danger.
But evidently, his father still sends her agents to protect her.
Feel disapointed ... ...own hands. She escapes.
In her wild escapes, she meets a guy called Goode ( Ben Calder ) and fall in love with him - without realizing that he is one of the agent her father sends.
With the background of the beautifulness of European views..
this movie can cheer your life up! :)

...but to settle for Chasing Liberty, and things could unquestionably be worse. Of all of Moore's movies, which have ranged from excessively dramatic (A Walk to Remember) to, well, excessively dramatic (How to Deal), she eventually seems to have found her own niche here. Chasing Liberty is much more lighthearted than her previous films, and at last much more entertaining. A little bit more comedy scenes would be nice to have, but there are some laughs ...

Advantages believable plot, good chemistry between leads Disadvantages Goode's acting not 100% great at times
...When I bought ChasingLiberty I wasn't looking to buy a DVD for myself... However I am a sucker for romantic comedies ever since falling in love with the film "Never Been Kissed" and am forever looking out for more that are in the same league.
What I firstly noticed about the DVD cover was the couple on the front. I loved the way Moore's leg was laying over Goode's... so casual yet so full of meaning too. The backdrop of Europe was gorgeous too - as is Matthew Goode might I add!
This film is all about Anna Foster (Mandy Moore - singer and actress) who is the First Daughter - the President's daughter. She is a teenage girl who just wants to live and experience life like all other girls her age can. She want's to date, drink alcohol, go to clubs, and have fun but she is finding it impossible with her father's Secret Service...

Review of ChasingLiberty DVD by

Advantages Sterling cast and genuine heartwarming moments Disadvantages The story here is a tad unoriginal
...Young Anna Foster (Mandy Moore) dreams of what every teen girl dreams to live a normal life... that and get layed of course! Anna is extremely lonely dispite teh fact she is never ever alone; having grown up only knowing a life in the media spotlight as daughter to the most powerful man in the world, the president of the united states. Desperate to grasp a moment of freedom she disguises herself and goes on the run in an attempt to attend the festival of love in Berlin enlisting the help of Ben, a young photographer with a secret of his own. Ben soon finds she more of a handful than he first expected. With special agents in tow and a race through europe you never know what to expect next in this light hearted romantic comedy adventure.
All sound a little familiar?
It may well do if you had the unfortunate displeasure of watching the...

Advantages Surveys are always so fun! Disadvantages nada
...'t actually taste much of a difference. I'm bad that way. I also can barely tell Pepsi and Coke apart. I just drink it all. But ok, if I'm choosing, I guess I usually go with Sprite.
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE?
I can only choose one?! That's nearly impossible. I love too many movies. A few of my very top favourites though, are Roman Holiday, The Phantom of the Opera, Finding Neverland, ChasingLiberty and Jane Eyre.
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE TOOTHPASTE
If I was being totally honest, I'd have to say that great bubblegum stuff I used when I was a kid. But now, realistically, I have to go with Colgate.
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE RESTAURANT?
In the city where I live there's a fabulous little restaurant called Lina Linguini's - it's a great little Italian place where the food is soooo good. It's definitely my favourite place to go out to eat...

Manufacturer's product description
Pop songstress Mandy Moore (A WALK TO REMEMBER) makes another big-screen splash with CHASING LIBERTY, a charming romantic comedy. Moore is Anna Foster (a.k.a. Liberty), daughter of the President of the United States, James Foster (Mark Harmon). Fed up with the overprotective secret service men that follow her around every second, Anna finally decides to cut loose. While on vacation in Europe she goes to a live performance of the hip-hop band The Roots and then escapes on a motorcycle with a cute photographer, Ben Calder (Matthew Goode). But what she doesn't realize is that Ben is actually a secret service agent himself who is under strict orders to act like a regular guy in order to provide the illusion that Anna is on her own for the first time in her life. As the pair journeys from Prague to Venice to the Love Parade festival in Berlin, Anna finds herself falling in love with Ben. At the same time, the agents on her trail (Jeremy Piven and Annabella Sciorra) find the same thing happening to them. Though the well-intentioned Ben does his best to keep Anna at a polite distance without crossing any romantic lines, it eventually becomes clear that he too is falling for her, complicating the situation. With CHASING LIBERTY, Moore once again proves her undeniably charismatic screen presence.
