Chasing Liberty is a 2004 romantic comedy film directed by Andy Cadiff, starring Mandy Moore and Matthew Goode[2] and written by Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman.

The film is about the 18-year-old daughter of the President of the United States whose rebellion against the constant presence of Secret Service agents in her life leads to a European adventure and an unexpected romance.

Believing she is finally free, Anna jumps into the Vltava River naked, mistaking it for the Danube, and she and Ben climb a rooftop to watch an Offenbach opera being shown in a plaza.

She and Ben board a train, where they meet Scotty McGruff, a flighty romantic backpacker who gives them a stack of Six Million Dollar Man stickers, telling them to post them in random places.

In November 2000, it was announced Alcon Entertainment had purchased Untitled First Daughter Project by screenwriters Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman with Andy Cadiff signed to direct.

[6] The problem that Anna Foster (Moore) faces in the film—excessively protective Secret Service agents guarding children of United States Government officials—was previously explored in the 1980 comedy First Family, with Bob Newhart as the president.

Hepburn played a princess who slips away from her handlers to be squired around Rome, also on a motor scooter, by Peck, not realizing that he knows her identity and plans a magazine story.

"[9] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post wrote, "Chasing Liberty will probably win over as many fuddy-duddy fathers as fillies with its mixture of sweetness tempered with genial cynicism.

"[11] In his review in the San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle wrote, "Chasing Liberty is a kind of remake of It Happened One Night (1934), updated and retooled for a young audience that won't recognize the connection."

LaSalle applauds the film's ability to evoke a young girl's experience of being on her own for the first time, writing, "Anna and Ben romp through Prague and, later, Venice, having adventures and misadventures and meeting various colorful characters, and it's all quite engaging.

We see a rock concert, a late-night outdoor screening of an operatic film and the splendors of historic cities through the eyes of a young girl experiencing them for the first time.
