Likable if somewhat a little bland
22 April 2014
Anna Foster (Mandy Moore) is the president (Mark Harmon)'s daughter. With 6 years in the White House and 8 years in the governor's mansion, she's 18 and tired of her overprotective security after a disrupted date. They make a deal to have only two agents Weiss (Jeremy Piven) and Morales (Annabella Sciorra) while she attends an opera on their Prague trip. Her wild friend Gabrielle takes her to a party and she sees all the other agents following her. Anna sneaks out and hops a ride on Ben Calder (Matthew Goode)'s moped. She never lets on that she's the president's daughter, and he turns out to be an agent. Without telling her, the president orders Calder to take her on a cross European trip ending at the Love Parade in Berlin.

Mandy Moore is perfectly likable if somewhat a little bland. That basically describes this movie. There isn't anything particularly wrong but there isn't anything particularly great about it. The problem is neither Moore nor Goode are strong comedic actors. So it's a passable romance with a little bit of comedy sprinkled in by Jeremy Piven. Also the possibility of a reveal for Matthew Goode is taken away immediately. So the movie just doesn't have the big tension.
