Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Samantha (Katie Holmes) and Mia (Amerie) are sliding down the slope on the Slip 'N Slide, Holmes inadvertently pulled down Amerie's sweatpants while struggling to climb over the hay bales, exposing Amerie's bottom in view of the camera. Director Forest Whitaker chose to leave this in the final cut of the film, since it was a spontaneous event, and quite in line with the carefree nature of the scene.
- GoofsWhen James and Sam telling each other things they don't know, James says that every state in the union has a city named Springfield. This is not true, as Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming are Springfield-less.
- 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.

Written by Damon Elliott and David Elliott
Produced by Damon Elliott for Elliott Entertainment
Performed by David Elliott
There she has to contend with room mates, drink, overly tight security, her father's presidential campaign and, of course, a boy.
As you probably expect this is wholesome light weight fodder with not too many shocks.
What is unusual is the amount of love and professionalism put into this.
Despite its rather whimsical premise the story is very lean and structured - performances are good and production is solid.
Nobody working on this expected it to win any Oscars but it is nice to see people put the effort in.
The result is a charming, fun Sunday afternoon movie that is much better than a lot of the other grandiose movies surrounding it on Netflix.
