The "First Daughter" is a romantic comedy-drama film released by 20th Century Fox in 2004. The "First Daughter" is sincere and tries hard, but she is so dull. Even the conclusion isn't as cheerful as it thinks it is, and that's saying something considering how slowly it moves, how laboriously it makes its points, and how obviously surprising the storyline is even if I hadn't seen the same concept utilized in precisely the same manner earlier this year in "Chasing Liberty."
Katie Holmes, who was attractive in "Wonder Boys" and "Pieces of April," plays Samantha Mackenzie, the daughter of the president of the United States, whose party is never stated, however, the truth is eventually revealed when it is revealed that the United Auto Workers support him. Her whole lifeshe has been a model daughter, supporting her two political candidate's parents (Michael Keaton and Margaret Colin) with a beaming smile.

The "First Daughter" Plot

Accompanied by a team of Secret Service personnel, Samantha MacKenzie (Katie Holmes), daughter of the president of the United States (Michael Keaton), arrives at the university. However, Samantha becomes tired of their presence and decides she wants to go to school like any other kid.
After agreeing to call back the agents, her dad covertly sends undercover agent James (Marc Blucas) to the school to appear as a student. They eventually fall in love, but Samantha discovering James' actual identity puts their relationship in jeopardy.
Samantha Mackenzie, played by Katie Holmes, is the daughter of a president (whose political affiliation is never revealed). She has been a model daughter her whole life, always supporting her family and doing what she is told. Samantha sits in a roped-off part of lecture halls while wearing attire that would make Joan Rivers laugh on TV.
At a frat party, she breaks the rules by sliding down a hill on a wet tarp. Katie Holmes plays a first daughter whose mom reduces her Secret Service protection to give her some space. Critic Tom Charity said that the film tortures us with clichés for more than 100 minutes, then denies us the last happy cliche we have paid our dues for.

What Parents Need To Know About The "First Daughter"

Parents should be aware that the protagonists see drinking as a symbol of emancipation and maturity. Despite the fact that they are young, Samantha mentions storing alcohol in a cooler, and Mia wonders whether the Secret Service officers would purchase beer for them.
They later go out drinking, and Sam becomes tipsy and starts dancing on a table. There are some light sexual allusions and situations. Mia invites a new male into her room and tells Sam she won't be back for two hours – but they were allegedly simply kissing. Later, she admits that she kisses any male except the one she genuinely loves.
Mia and Sam dress up as call girls, complete with lace-up boots, hot trousers, and a fake tattoo. The characters employ polite language ("kiss my ass," etc.). The movie's strength is its competent and successful African-American characters, as well as its strong interracial connections.

Does First Daughter Have Romance?

Yes, it's a romance, but it's also a coming-of-age story that transcends its genre to become a relevant story of maturity.

Is The First Daughter A Good Movie?

Despite her good intentions, "First Daughter" is very dull. The pacing is off, the arguments are laboriously made, and the story twist is predictable even if I hadn't seen it earlier this year in "Chasing Liberty."

Does Ellie End Up With Aster?

No, Ellie musters the strength to kiss Aster, who does not reciprocate the gesture but does not refuse it.

Final Words

Due to competition from Chasing Liberty, the First Daughterwas stuck in "development hell" for many years and was further delayed once it was completed. When it was released, it was not a commercial success and garnered unfavorable reviews.
