First Daughter

Whoa what a turkey this made for TV yarn is! Horrible acting chiefly by Mariel Hemingway who is completely unconvincing as a secret service agent. It's so bad the viewer can basically figure out what is going to happen scene to scene. If the films "Guarding Tess" "In The Line of Fire" "Deliverance" and "Meatballs" were to be spliced together this would be the result. A couple of good spots with the whitewater rafting and that's about it.

I thought this was going to be quite uneventful and boring but it turned out to be fairly good for a TV movie, and the acting wasn't bad except for the Jess's love interest. One gripe I have, and this is probably only because i'm from Australia, once I noticed that it was filmed here I couldn't get over the fact that it did not look anything like Colorado, where it was supposedly set. Unfortunately there's a distinct lack of gum trees in Colorado and another distinct lack of towering snow capped mountains in Australia as well

I thought this was an okay movie. It was on cable t.v.the other day so I watched it. I used to to be a fan of Pro Wrestling and I found out that Diamond Dallas Page was in this one! This was about a secret service agent (Hemmingway) who tried in the beginning of the movie to protect the President using her own judgment and not "by the book." Well, that move cost sentenced her basically to go with the President's daughter to a retreat for teens. The daughter feels too much of the pressure of her dad's office is smothering her and her life. She and the agent become good friends after she gets found towards the end. I just had one question though, where was the First Lady or was he divorced? They didn't really show that.

The film was quite good but what strange locational settings have been selected for this movie. I watched with great interest as location after location that I am familiar with appeared on my screen. You see I have walked across the very bridge that is used for the final climatic scenes. (Maldon Bridge on the southern outskirts of Sydney)It's in a lonely valley and is a very rickety unstable structure that crosses a virtually dry creek bed. Ah the magic of the movies. To see the bridge blown up and have it crossing a far more substantial river. Kind of weird. Great Movie, but if you are a Sydneysider the realism may be spoiled.

Good movie I like Alex, she is the type of woman who would not lose with any situation. Beside the story is made us tense which is missing in many movies now. The story it just not about lover, but about how to fight in the jungle to save president's daughter.
