Chasing Liberty is a 2004 romantic comedy, and is directed by Andy Cadiff. The scenes involving the White House were in fact filmed in a house in Essex, England, which bears a striking resemblance to the real thing. Blueprints of the White House were also used to create a digital replica, which helped make it seem real.

These blueprints caused the director some trouble when travelling to Washington DC, as his suitcase also contained source material about the Oval Office, among other things.

The film received a luke-warm response from critics, but appealed to its target audience, and won three Teen Choice Awards.

Another film, released later in 2004 called First Daughter
, had a strikingly similar plot. Interestingly, an early working title for Chasing Liberty was First Daughter.

Plot

Mandy Moore plays Anna Foster, who is the only daughter of the President of the USA, and just wants freedom to do as she pleases. While on a trip to Europe with her father, she manages to escape her entourage of Secret Service agents, and she meets Ben Calder, played by Matthew Goode. She then travels round Europe with Ben, unaware that he is an undercover agent working for her father. When he tells her father of her behavior, he is shocked and appalled. Ben reveals the truth to her and it breaks her heart.
