First Daughter-DVD

First Daughter (2004), Dir. Forest Whitaker

Who knew Forest Whitaker was making films? I sure didn't. And unless he can improve from this, he should stick with acting. This movie was not good. I refrain from saying terrible, only because I loved the Vera Wang gowns. This film is almost an exact replica of the other not good film 'Chasing Liberty'. (I saw one person say "rip-off" on IMDB, but is it really a rip-off if the original isn't worth anything either?) Much like 'Liberty', this film contains some of the most god-awful writing I have seen in a long time. Note to Forest, if your actress can't say "abstinence" (it painfully came out as "absidence"), change the words. She sounds like a moron.

I'm sure the reality of being the President's daughter is something that is difficult to replicate, and it appears that replicating the White House is just as difficult, if not more. Every single shot of the big house looked completely fake, and fancy camera moves didn't hide anything. It only seemed more painful.

Before I sign off on this one, I have one more thing to say: I will never believe Michael Keaton as President. He will always be Mr. Mom to me.
