First Daughter

ComedyDramaFamilyRomance106 min

Samantha MacKenzie is the president’s daughter, arriving on campus with Secret Service agents in tow and a plan to live like any other freshman. Katie Holmes is Sam, caught between White House security and the ordinary rhythms of dorm life, classes, and new friendships. Her father, President John MacKenzie (Michael Keaton), wants her protected at all times, while roommate Mia (Amerie) keeps pulling her toward the college experience she’s been missing. As Sam tries to escape the constant spotlight and make her own choices, a growing connection with resident advisor James adds another complication to her first taste of independence.
