Thumbs down!
Having been a big fan of Mandy Moore, I thought this movie would be pretty good. Almost everything that could turn a movie sour happens here. For one, Mandy isn't really acting in this movie. She sort of poses and pouts. There really is no depth to her character. The movie loses direction in the first thirty minutes and continues at an alarmingly boring pace. Anna wants freedom. Dad promises Anna freedom. Dad doesn't keep his promise. Anna's mad. Anna gets supervised freedom. Anna wants to have sex with an undercover agent. Wham Bam they fall in love after a few angsty scenes, end of story. No depth and direction make Chasing Libety somewhat boring, but the Mandy Moore fan may enjoy it.
