Anna Foster has never had the normal life and she has somewhat learned to live with and even accepted it to some extent. For she has spent the last fourteen years in the public eye first for eight years as a Governor’s Daughter and now the last six as the President’s daughter. But now that she is 18 she is growing tired of the restraints that being the daughter of such a powerful politician has forced her to accept and endure for so long. When Secret Service Agents break up a date with a boy that she has so desperately wanted to go out with for the longest time, it is like the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. And when her father breaks his promise of only sending two agents to watch at her a concert in Germany she finally decides she has had enough. She runs away on the spur of the moment and manages to get away from the agents that have so dogged her steps for so long with the help of a Handsome stranger Ben Calder that she meets outside the concert. She has decided she will go to the freedom parade in Berlin that her father had forbidden her to attend. But when a mistake at the train station takes her to Venice Italy she now finds herself in a unique situation of complete freedom with her new found friend Ben. So she sets out on a romantic road trip backpacking through Europe as she tries to find her way back to Berlin and maybe even her father.

This movie is truly dull and amazingly unimaginative as it does absolutely nothing to try and even separate itself from a hundred movies that have been done like it. The movie truly had no chance as they just cast a bunch of pretty young actors, slapped together a clichéd and overly done script and marketed themselves towards the tweeny audiences. This type of movie proves that many Hollywood producers could care less about producing anything worthwhile or even making at attempt originality. It this type of boring, dull garbage that makes January such a bad month to view movies. In fact actresses like Mandy Moore, Brittany Murphy and Hillary Duff should never be allowed to make another movie as they prove that a pretty face does not make up for really bad acting skills. I do not know how anyone could care about Moore’s character or even give a hoot to what would happen to her as the movie doesn’t even bother to try and hide the fact that the movie is going to end in the most predictable manner you could imagine It is about time audiences showed studios what they think of this type of rubbish but boycotting films and actress that are nothing more than superficial wrapping paper around a pile of stinking garbage. It is the only way the studios will learn to not make such bad movies, but alas tweeny audiences will probably keep soaking up such garbage.
