Well, this wasn't a totally boring movie, but it was close. The best part was definitly the shooting locations. The sceanary was beautiful if you are into European architecture and the like. Mandy Moore is not an experianced actress which is proven in this movie. Chasing Liberty was definitly a good premise to a movie and the casting was great minus the lead. Jeremy Piven and Matthew Goode were great. Not to be to hard on Mandy Moore but there are a ton of better actresses out there that good have made the movie ten times better.

Yet another romantic comedy
Surprisingly entertaining teenage romantic comedy
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.
entertaining "brain fluff" chicky flick
I am a sucker for a good, sappy, romantic comedy. I have always liked Mandy Moore (especially in "A Walk to Remember") and I thought she was pretty good in this.
Nothing that will make you think which is nice if you're looking for a fun girly movie.
My only complaints are that the movie dragged a bit long for this type of movie... could've cut out some of the chase scenes. But I liked the different places they went, those are such beautiful areas of the world and the movie reminded me of my trip to Europe when I was in college.
If you're looking for something deep or an epic romance, this is not for you. But if you want something good to watch on a night home alone or with girlfriends, this is a great pick.
