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

DVD features
The DVD has a playful and occasionally informative commentary track by Holmes, Blucas, and Amerie (they talk about which scenes were tough to shoot, including the "nightmare" frat party). There are also two extended scenes of Samantha's wild romp, and two featurettes--one about the dancing and one a remembrance of composer Michael Kamen. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

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!*
