Even better than I'd hoped, 12 January 2004
10/10
Author: meg from winter park, fl

I've read several reviews of Chasing Liberty and it seems you'll either love it or hate it. Personally, I loved it. Sure, it's a bit clichéd and predictable at parts, but it's still fabulous. Some are even comparing it to Roman Holiday - a classic and one of my all time favorite movies.

I actually went to see this movie on opening day then found myself back in the theater for it again just two days later. I thought Mandy Moore did quite a good job acting (except for one scene near the beginning that seemed a little overdone) and Matthew Goode was fabulous in this role (and I'm not just saying that because I happened to notice his extremely good looks...of course I won't deny it may have influenced my opinion just a smidge). The chemistry between the two actors on screen was excellent, there's a great mix of comedy, romance and drama throughout, plus brilliantly chosen songs to go along with every part of the movie.

All this, plus many other positive aspects, leads me to believe that despite the less than shining reviews it has gotten, this is still the perfect feel-good and completely romantic chick flick I've seen in awhile and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for something fun and easy to watch.
