  • 2 stars out of 5

    When the daughter of the US president and a Secret Service agent flee from protocol across Europe, you keep hoping for a bit of action to liven things up in what is essentially a tedious travelogue. In this dim echo of William Wyler's Roman Holiday, Mandy Moore stars as the White House “princess”, fed up by being hemmed in for security reasons. She makes a dash for it and ends up on the back of a Vespa driven by Matthew Goode, who's really a Secret Service agent assigned to protect her. She wants to make it to Berlin's Love Parade, a kind of Teutonic Mardi Gras but, first of all, they hit Prague and Florence. While director Andy Cardiff seeks out all the postcard touristy bits, there's only weak chemistry between the hero and heroine.

    Feel Good Movie

    This movie was great. I let my 2 children watch it and they loved it too. You find yourself talking to the screen 'Kiss her' 'Tell her the truth'... more

    This film is totally amazing, I loved every minute of it. If you are a fan of Mandy Moore, then you should certainly watch this film.

    Aimed at girls rather than teens or older - nothing original or special

    This film was a little dissapointing as the trailer seemed really good. If you liked What a Girl Wants with Colin Firth then you will probably like this - it&#... more
