Summary: Terrible
Review: It was simply awful... That all one needs to say...

I wish that I could take back that time I wasted watching (more like yawning through) this movie...
Mandy Moore is at her worse. Was it possible to be worse then she was in How To Deal? Does that question need answering???
Yes, she is even more terrible than she was in How to Deal...
The idea of the movie sounded cute (reason for me to go and waste my money on this movie), and the commercial made the movie look promising...
This movie really deserves a 0 star... it was that bad...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It must be the writing...They just do not write.....
Review: The last several times that I have been to the movies, they would useusally list in the writing credits as either "Story by" and "Screenplay by", meaning that they did a storyline first then commited it to a screenplay, and the movie turned out to be well done. But if they list in the credits as just "written by", it seems that they did only a direct script with very little in the way of changes and they filmed it with what they wrote, however what they wrote useually turned out to be terrible. Unbeliveable situations that characters find themselves in. The charecters themselves are cardboard characters with little humanity in them. They tell not so funny jokes and the everything seems so cliched or recycled from other movies that had much better scripts to work with. WEll this movie is one of them, you want to like Mandy Moore, and think that if the right part came along, she could really do something good with a role that has a lot of substance to it. But this movie is not it, so I can only say, "Try a better movie with a well developed screenplay, and a film director who actually works on the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hot Movie
Review: "Chasing Liberty" was such an awesome movie. Mandy Moore was excellent in portraying a president's daughter who's only wish is to have more freedom. She looks excellent and acts really well. Matthew Goode, who plays her secret service agent/love interest is amazing. He is such a good actor and his looks don't hurt him at all. He definitely is the next "Brad Pitt"...although cuter!! Go see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I honestly think that the movie was one of the best, it was so romantic, not cheesy....I thought that Mandy Moore had come a long way from her last movie, she did a fantastic job. And Matthew Goode.....you can't find someone that starts out so good, he just did an amazing job in the movie. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this movie, a true 5 star all the way.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: OMG!
Review: Hands down this is the worst movie that I have ever seen in my life. In all honesty I couldn't believe that it was this bad. Mandy Moore is a miserable actress, she was completely unbelivable and very unemotional. The plot line was ridiculously stupid & upsetting. Looks like Moore's first flop ('How to Deal') will be closely followed by her second.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome...worth the benefit of a doubt.
Review: Chasing Liberty: ****½

...

Several movies have used the 'White House Child' theme, but this one actually works. It is well-acted, ..... I love the music, the scenery, and the intelligence. Most PG-13 movies could not care less about story development...because the filmmakers figure that the intended audience really does not care about the story. Just give them action and suggested sex; they will be happy. But Chasing Liberty does it right by showing its intended audience and everyone else respect.

(Only the very end sort of falls flat.)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Who's the target audience?
Review: Chasing Liberty was a poorly done film at best. Here is a one sentence summary: the movie chronicles the teen first daughter's attempts to sleep with a guy. It would be an eyebrow raiser if her motives were voiced, but to make it worse, this theme is mostly implied throughout the movie. The movie loses its appeal because its PG-13 theme has been suppressed to appeal to a G rated audiences. This attempt is disastrous at best, and leaves all viewers either baffled or disgusted. There are several problems with the plot, and several points that just didn't make sense. Few in even the US could recognize the first daughter, so why do so many people in Europe recognize her? Anna certainly does not appear to be a bright individual, yet she attends Harvard? If you try to figure out a plot or the characters, don't because there isn't a plot and the characters are paper-thin. The movie is nothing more than Anna and Ben's adventures in European cities, and the movie's only good points are the beautiful backdrops of Prague and Venice, and the acting talents of Matthew Goode and Jeremy Pivan.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: hi, um does anyone know what song was playing where moore
Review: and the french girl were in the club and there was a band playing

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really likable romantic comedy
Review: If you are a fan of the romantic comedy genre you will like this movie. Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode were terrific in this movie. They had a nice chemistry. Mandy was likable and less annoying than most in this genre. They should had spent a little more focus on Matthew. He had good screen presence and appeal, I hope to see more of him in other movies. My only complaint was that the ending was cut-off. It did drag on a bit in the beginning but it was needed to set up a more believeable storyline. It does have brief nudity, which was a surprise. I had low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. The movie takes place mostly in Europe and there are some beautiful scenes/locations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
Review: I hadn't heard much about this movie before I watched it, so I didn't really know what to expect. I'm so glad that I saw it! I really loved it. Ok, so maybe it won't win an Oscar, or provoke particularly deep thoughts, but it's a very likable movie. Mandy Moore's character is happy-go-lucky and friendly, and, despite the restrictions placed on her, she seems to love life. In response to comments about her being an airhead who ignores potential terrorism threats, I think it's refreshing to be able to forget for an hour or two what's really going on in the world. "Chasing Liberty" isn't aiming to give a spot-on realistic view of American politics; it's a fun love story set in some gorgeous scenery. And speaking of gorgeous scenery, Matthew Goode was a particularly welcome love interest for Moore's Anna. Nice to look at, he also scored most of the movie's funniest lines, and seems to be a great actor. If you're looking for some pure escapism and a feel-good movie, hire "Chasing Liberty".
