Chasing Liberty is fine (if empty) fun, and much credit for that should go to feisty Moore.

Reviews for Chasing Liberty
Top CriticChasing Liberty is a many-unsplendoured thing, but the one thing it isn't is a movie.
01/09/04
It's your typical stuff but the leads are easy on the eyes, and Jeremy Piven and Annabella Sciorra add some fun as Moore's bodyguards.
01/09/04
One of those efficiently made formula films that keeps movie houses open during the early part of the year.
01/09/04
... a little thin for the two-hour running time, but likable enough for its schoolgirl audience and painless enough for the adults doomed to be dragged along.
01/09/04
No more than a series of postcard backdrops.
01/09/04
Top CriticI'm not even sure it deserves to be called a movie. It's more a package built from Moore's smile, adolescent ideas about romance and plenty of picture-postcard photography.
01/09/04
Top CriticThis comedy-drama is more of the formulaic, predictable and lightweight fluff [Moore's] been making all along.

Chasing Liberty should have been called "How To Deal with Chasing Liberty While Remembering To Walk."
01/09/04
[A] happy trip.
01/09/04
It's all very Roman Holiday, except that Moore isn't Audrey Hepburn and these two actors don't have a lot of natural chemistry between them.
01/09/04
Chasing Liberty is surprisingly good in areas where it doesn't need to be good at all, and pretty awful in areas where it has to succeed.
01/09/04
Top CriticNot a pleasant way to spend an hour and 45 minutes.
01/09/04
Top CriticSends messages much too mature for the young audiences to which they are pitching.
01/09/04
No, it's not the Jenna Bush story...just another mediocre romantic comedy for the teen set.
01/09/04
Liberty's engaging leads make this pedestrian romp a harmless way to spend two hours
01/09/04
Liberty could be mistaken for Moore’s best film, though the weight of that compliment depends on your opinion of her past works.
01/09/04
Even though Cadiff and crew didn't make a memorable or remarkable film, at least they chased a heck of a vacation out of the deal.
