92nd Worst Movie: First Daughter

"First Daugther" Starring Katie Holmes, Michael Keaton and Marc Blucas
Directed by Forest Whitaker

Second Slaughter
By Michele Dillon

The first slaughter would be Katie Holmes starring in Dawson's Creek. This movie is the second
slaughter. The third slaughter is Holmes marrying Tom Cruise and throwing away her movie career for a nut job. Sorry to be so harsh Katie, but you did. You haven't done anything decent since you married Tom and you know its because he is a psycho. Ok, but now to the movie itself. I was actually really surprised when I found out Forest Whitaker directed this movie because out of the movies I have seen him act in, I never would have guessed this would be the kind of movie he would direct. The premise of the story being that Holmes is the daughter of the President who is up for re-election. She is going off to college and just wants to have a normal college life but she can't because she always has secret service men following her wherever she goes to make sure she is safe. If the plot wasn't lacking, everything else was. It was a cheesball of a movie. There really is no other better word to use to describe it. The acting wasn't horrible and it didn't have bad actors in it. Michael Keaton is always a fan favorite. It was just one of those movies that yet again was effected by the script. When you don't have the right words and a good storyline, no matter who you put in the movie, it cannot be saved. That is basically the only thing this movie had going against it. That and that fact that Holmes kept making that face where she looks to the left, then the right, then smiles at her surroundings...look for
it, it's in almost everything. Not really one of those movies that I would die if I had to watch again but I was super excited once it ended so I could get on with my life (or you know, watching more horrible movies).
