    Entertaining, but quite silly

    I liked this movie because it's very entertaining with some jokes and funny scenes. No hard thoughts, no real dramas, no big tears, no bad emotions. It's perfect if you want to spend some time without thinking and feel good after that. The main plot idea is promising and launching some fantasies - what if...?, but plot development and some twists are quite silly. Perfect for kids and not-nihilistic teens.

    9 for entertainment; 4 for silly plot

    eh, it's good for a boring day and a good laugh

    this movie isn't that great...at all but it's good when you want to just laugh, because it's pretty ridiculous :) there are a lot of mistakes in it and it's cheesy. i got this movie for Christmas like 5 years ago but for some reason i've never given it away. i guess i just like it for a rainy day even though i only watch it like once a year. This is a very 90's movie so it's really funny to see how everyone dresses and acts. this movie is good for someone young...although come to think of it, i didn't even like it much when i was like 12 but that's just my personal opinion. the movie was really predictable. i wish it had had some extra weird twists but i guess it was trying to be an appropriate movie for everyone to enjoy. i think it was appropriate for the whole family but Hallie's dress was a bit unmodest but certainly appropriate enough for family material.

    Very entertaining and uniquely funny

    This movie gets up and running quickly and will take you along for a very fun ride. Witty and well thought out humor, quite different from typical movies. Adults will be entertained and treated with plenty of catchy comedy while children of all ages will be amused by the likeable characters and charismatic predicaments. A big thumbs up, and if it's feel good (and clean) comedy you want, I really tag this as a 10.

    Great Disney Channel Movie!

    Don't judge this movie based on the fact that is one of the Disney Channel movies, which usually stink. Will Friedle and Elisabeth Harnois do a spectacular job portraying the roles of Duncan Fletcher and Hallie Richmond. A sure-fire family movie night.

    In this comedy, Hallie Richmond is the daughter of the President of the USA. She is tired of being followed around by the Secret Service, and longs to lead a normal life. When not-so-popular Duncan Fletcher sees her at the mall, not recognizing her, he asks her if she would like to go with him to his prom. Hallie excitedly says yes.

    Duncan is astounded when he finds out Hallie is the president's daughter, but continues with the date after negotiating with the president. Finally they agree that the Secret Service must follow them. Hallie is sick of this, so she convinces Duncan to ditch them so they can have some fun. Outraged, the President starts a search. To make matters worse, it is the night of a big election dinner.

    Cute, funny, and family-oriented, this a TV movie I would recommend.

    a great effort by Disney

    A great movie. The cast was great and all turned in outstanding performances Dabney Coleman was good and Will Freddle gave his usual hysterical performance, but the real star was Elizabeth Harnois. I remember her as Alice in Adventure in Wonderland, you knew she had talent then but she really showcased it now. She is a very beautiful girl and I'm predicting she will be one to watch.

    • Trivia
      Both leads, Will Friedle and Elisabeth Harnois, have appeared in Boy Meets World (1993), though their characters did not interact.

Harnois had a guest appearance in The Last Temptation of Cory (1995), where she played Missy Robinson, a girl who kisses Cory while Topanga is sick.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the movie, when Duncan and Hallie are going out for a second date, the camera pull back to show Secret Service SUVs and a helicopter following Duncan's car. The buildings are skyscrapers, which are much too tall to be Washington DC, as building codes for the District provide that no building may be taller than the Capitol, which is only 287.5 feet tall. (The Washington Monument is the only exception.)
