It's the classic story: boy (Will Friedle of Boy Meets World) meets girl after she eludes Secret Service, boy asks girl to high school dance, boy and girl nearly topple presidential administration. Most of this 89-minute made-for-TV movie takes place on the evening of the date, during which the young couple never actually make it to the dance, but do go on a shopping spree, watch his dad's company car get stolen, get in a fight with some rednecks, put on a magic show at a pool hall, and attend an anti-presidential protest. Dabney Coleman plays her presidential dad and Jay Thomas plays his father, who despite their political differences team up to find their wayward offspring. Part Mel Brooks madcap, part Roman Holiday for the younger set, this Disney offering manages to keep up a lively pace with some sly turns and humor that doesn't condescend. Ages 10 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Soon Hallie and Duncan leave on their date -- accompanied by two Secret Service agents. Excited about her freedom, Hallie wants to cram everything she's ever wanted to do into this one night.

Duncan, on the other hand, has a big problem. His friends bet him 50 bucks that he can't get the first girl he sees to be his date for the dance. Just before Duncan give up hope, he sees Hallie in a store and flips for her. After a brief talk, she spots Secret Service agents looking for her, so she agrees to be Duncan's date. But she neglected to tell him she's the President's Daughter. When Duncan pulls up to 1600 Pennsilvania Avenue, he thinks he's been stood up. When he's ushered into the Oval Office, he comes face-to-face with the leader of the U.S. When they leave, Hallie takes advantage of her freedom and decideds to cram everything she's ever wanted to do into one evening.
