[edit] Plot

Duncan Fletcher is an average teenager in search of a date to his school's spring dance. While at the mall with his friends, he meets Hallie Richmond, who just happens to be the daughter of the President of the United States, George Richmond. Duncan, not realizing this, asks her to his school's dance. She accepts and gives him her address (1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) and he replies by telling here he will pick her up at 7:00.

That night, Duncan asks his father if he can borrow the "company car", a red BMW E34 with his father rejecting. Duncan takes the company car anyway and goes to pick up Hallie, only to realize that he ends up at the White House.

When he enters, Hallie has Duncan meet her father, and Duncan is informed that there are limitations on where they can and cannot go, and that the Secret Service will be with them the entire time. Hallie says that they were just going to dinner and a movie, but at the movie theater, they sneak out and leave the secret service without a clue.

They encounter many obstacles throughout the night, but manage to come home safe and unharmed.

At the end of the film, even though they never make it to the dance, Duncan is happy about the outcome of the date. President Richmond comes to Duncan's school to thank him for taking such good care of his daughter. Duncan's dad gets a promotion, and Hallie and Duncan are able to pursue a real relationship. They go out on a second date and they're happy about it. The camera zooms out and you can see multiple SUVs and helicopters following them.

After Hallie and Duncan ditch the Secret Service at the movie theater, and one agent begins to talk on his cell phone about the incident, one of the movie posters displayed outside the entrance reveals the 1997 Disney film, Flubber.

In one scene where Hallie runs through the streets, she appears barefoot. However, in the next shot, she is wearing platform shoes.

At the end of the movie, where Duncan and Hallie go on their second date, they are driving in between some buildings which happen to be tall skyscrapers. Clearly, this setting doesn't look like it takes place in Washington D.C., but in Vancouver, Canada.

Elisabeth Harnois guest starred in a few episodes on Boy Meets World as Missy Robinson (a classmate of Eric's younger brother Cory Matthews), which Will Friedle was a regular as Eric Matthews.

When the president and Duncans dad find the two look a likes at the mall, they are seen wearing the clothes they bought at the store after they left the White House, they shouldn't have recognized them.
