"Once Upon A Time there lived a lovely girl named Samantha. She had everything she could possibly wish for, and lived in a beautiful white house. The White House Katie Holmes stars as First Daughter Samantha Mackenzie _ a sheltered young woman who just wants a normal school experience, away from the influence of her parents. Only trouble is, her dad (Michael Keaton) is the President of the United States! But nothing will stop Samantha, so, under Secret Service surveillance and a nonstop media glare, she meets _ and falls hard for _ a handsome student who has a secret existence of his own."
Playing the president's kin in the modern fairy tale First Daughter is the most grown-up role yet for Dawson's Creek cutie Katie Holmes. Samantha McKenzie (Holmes) has lived all her life on the edge of the political spotlight, but she hopes that she'll get away from it all when she leaves the White House for college. No such luck. Even though she's able to make friends with her roommate (singer Amerie) and meet a nice guy (Marc Blucas), security is tight in an election year, and the Secret Service follows her wherever she goes. First Daughter isn't particularly original (it was the working title for Mandy Moore's Chasing Liberty, which opened in theaters earlier the same year, 2004), but it's a chuckle-inducing girlie movie that's worth watching for Holmes. Also, Michael Keaton is especially likable as a president and dad. That's a big change for Holmes, who as Dawson's Creek's Joey Potter was a poster child for daughters with dysfunctional fathers. --David Horiuchi

We like it!:
This is actually a replacement copy. We had bought a used copy years ago and watched it and watched it, but lo, it got scratched at the end and my daughter and her friends could never finish it. We were happy when we found out that we could still get it.
FIRST DAUGHTER:
Awesome movie and I would recommend it highly especially for family.
I felt Katie Holmes and Marc Blucas did a great job acting.
*Good Movie For Everyone!*:
A nice movie that the whole family can enjoy.Katie Holmes was great in the movie.It really is a movie for all to watch.
Nice...:
This is a cute and safe movie for any age. No language, no nudity and Katie Holmes is very likeable. Michael Keaton comes across like you'd want him for a dad. All the characters are credible and believable. I've watched it several times. I love the ballroom dancing scenes. You like to think guys can still dance like that. The bonus features are fun too. This is very G/PG feeling so if that's what you are looking for, this is it.
