Yet another teen-princess fantasy.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Rotten

First Daughter is less amusing than Jenna and Barb at the RNC, and dumb enough to make last January's presidential scion, Mandy Moore, look electable.

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
Rotten

...just has a really cheesy look.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

First Daughter presents such a saccharine-sweet, insufferably boring portrait of a conservative president and his family, it could kill with kindness.

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh

A respectable accomplishment.

Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
