| IN THEATRES: SEPTEMBER 24, 2004 Samantha MacKenzie (Katie Holmes) is a fun-loving 18-year-old who can`t wait to escape the overbearing clutches of her parents by starting college. But she finds herself impeded more than she would like due to her father`s (Michael Keaton) obtrusive day job as the President of the US. To make matters worse, President MacKenzie is currently undergoing a taxing bid for reelection, meaning that his daughter is subject to extra-tight security measures. Nevertheless, Samantha heads off to Redmond University in California, her head filled with dreams of independence and the chance to meet boys. But to Samantha`s dismay, campus life doesn`t live up to her high expectations. First, there are pesky secret service agents around every corner, installed at her father`s behest. Second, the reverence afforded to Samantha by her fellow students proves to be a constant source of annoyance. Third, her roommate Mia Thompson (Amerie Rogers) is an insufferable attention-seeker who is less than happy at being usurped by the infamous Samantha. Salvation comes in the shape of James Lansome (Marc Blucas), a charming older student whose attempts to woo Samantha allow her to fulfill at least one of her pre-college fantasies. But, as director Forrest Whitaker (HOPE FLOATS) gently rolls this congenial comedy to a close, Samantha realizes that there is a lot more to James than meets the eye. |
