First Daughter (2004) 6/10

Starring : Katie Holmes, Michael Keaton, Marc Blucas, Margaret Colin
Director : Forest Whitaker
Running Time : 101 mins

Samantha Mackenzie (Holmes) is the daughter of the American president (Keaton) and decides to escape from her celebrity world by attending college as far away from her family as possible. Unfortunately, even when she's away from her powerful father, she can't seem to shake his influence or his intrusive ways, which manage to worm their way into every facet of her life.

This is watchable but not brilliant. Katie Holmes' performance isn't anything particularly special or exciting, but the simple story is interesting enough and flows reasonably well, with only a few moments that felt outright convoluted and forced.
