Anna Foster Mandy Moore, "How to Deal" has spent the last six years of her life growing up under a microscope as the only daughter of the U. The eighteen year-old is the ideal diplomat, but when dad reneges on a promise to cut back on her security while she goes clubbing in Prague, Anna goes A. Laura: What can be said about a First Daughter movie that begins with a lame 'before-date-clothes-changing' montage set to "American Girl," a song that will be forever tied to the kidnapping of a senator's child by Buffalo Bill in "The Silence of the Lambs? Considering that the filmmakers cannot pump life into this "Roman Holiday" wannabe despite the talented Moore and stunning European settings, these seem to be inadvertent subversions rather than any originality on their part. A swarm of Secret Service descend, the date is history and the boy Anna was attracted to scared off. Detecting a bargaining chip, Anna asks dad for an evening of freedom during an upcoming presidential trip to Europe and he agrees to let her accompany the French Ambassador's daughter to the 'opera,' but Gabrielle Beatrice Rosen has grown a bit wild and the opera is really a funky underground club, so Foster sends the usual contingent after the girls. Anna quickly smells a rat, does a quick costume change and pleads with a handsome Vespa-owning stranger outside to help her escape her pursuers.

She did not, however, know that this movie co-starred Matthew Goode, and became very excited at the sight of his face in the DVD menu clips. She wants to be able to date, you guys! When she joins her father on a trip to Prague, she begs him to let her do something without a horde of Secret Service agents. He agrees, but not really duh. She attends a concert with her freewheeling French friend, realizes there are more agents than he promised, and flips the fuck out. Seriously, girl, the man is the president.
She apologizes for the bad music she's made, and she jokes about using a body double in Chasing Liberty , which opens Friday. Since Moore refused to strip for a seminude scene of a nocturnal skinny-dip, the producers gave her photos of women in bikinis facing a wall. I think I picked a pretty good butt.
