Forgettable fluff but it left me in an unaccountably bad mood, mainly because it's a step back for Mandy Moore.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Moore's lip-glossed petulance never catches fire with Goode's canned drollery.
It's one TV-movie romp that Kristy McNichol never got around to starring in.
Chasing Liberty will probably win over as many fuddy-duddy fathers as fillies with its mixture of sweetness tempered with genial cynicism.
An endless, virtually laugh-free pastiche of Aaron Sorkin by way of Aaron Spelling.
