    • Goofs
      The interior of Air Force One is shown to have loose glasses, vases, etc. sitting on the walls and on tables. All of those items would be secured in an actual aircraft, otherwise they would fall to floor as the aircraft rotates, or if it hit any amount of turbulence.
    • Quotes

      Samantha Mackenzie: What was that?

      James Lansome: I was just saying goodnight.

      Samantha Mackenzie: What is this? Is this some kind of game to you James?

      James Lansome: No.

      Samantha Mackenzie: You don't have to pretend anymore.

      James Lansome: You're an amazing girl.

      Samantha Mackenzie: Would you stop it? Just stop lying to me.

      James Lansome: What could I have given to you Sam? I don't have anything to offer you. You're the President's daughter for Christsake.

      Samantha Mackenzie: I have spent, almost my entire life with people smiling at me. And laughing at my jokes. And telling me how special I am, and how great I am, and how nice, and smart. And right now, I don't know if any of that was true. Maybe it was all some kind of an act. I don't know. What if I was different? If I was just like everybody else James? How would you feel about me then?

      James Lansome: You just don't get it. Things are different.

      Samantha Mackenzie: What if they were? I think you at least owe me this. Forget image. Forget politics. Forget everything else but who I am right now in here. If things were different.

      James Lansome: If things were different... I'd still follow you around all the time - because I wanted to, not because I had to.

    Good Cast Wasted in a Silly and Shallow Screenplay
    Samantha Mackenzie (Katie Holmes), the daughter of President Mackenzie (Michael Keaton) and his wife Melanie (Margaret Collin), decides to go to college in California during his tough campaign for reelection. She requests a reduced secret service protection trying to act normal with her new mates, including her roommate Mia Thompson (Amerie), and she falls in love for James Lansome (Marc Blucas). When her security is threatened, she discloses the real identity of James and decides to return home to support her family in the election process.

    In spite of having a good cast with great performances, "First Daughter" has a very silly and shallow screenplay that does not help the actors and the actresses. The story aims to expose the "tough life" of a young woman because she is the daughter of the president of the USA, but actually shows a futile, spoiled and overprotected teenager with a weak personality having a luxurious and banal lifestyle. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "A Filha do Presidente" ("The Daughter of the President")
