Chasing Liberty
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.
