Katie Holmes plays
Samantha Mackenzie, only daughter of President Mackenzie (Michael
Keaton) who is running for his second term of office. Meanwhile Sam is
starting Freshman year in college at fictional Redmon University in
California. At Redmond Sam tries to be a normal student, has fun with
her roommate Mia (Amerie Rogers) and falls in love with James (Marc
Blucas).
First Daughter is
influenced by the Clinton administration when their daughter Chelsea
went to Stanford. In fact, Chelsea is mentioned in comparison to
Samantha. It's a fictional love story about falling for a guy who turns
out to be not what he seems. Naturally the girl starts doubting the
romantic interest on his part. But eventually they reach some sort of
resolution.
It's an ok romantic comedy.
