My family first encountered this movie on a flight across the country. Both of my children were delighted with the story and the adventures of the two kids in the White House. It was the first time either of them showed any interest in anything resembling politics and we had a nice conversation about what it may be like being the son and/or daughter of an international leader.

Upon our return home they both insisted on purchasing the DVD and when we all watched the movie as a family I could see why they enjoyed it so much. Both children in the movie were delightful in their portrayals of regular kids being thrust into the world of political intrigue. The action scenes were suspenseful and fun without introducing foolhardy antics and the dialog was suitable for kids and tweens (and Adults!).

Zane Austin and Francesca Capaldi carried the movie admirably with an obvious rapport between themselves. And it was clear they were, as Francesca put it, "Dog Persons".

If you and your family is looking for a fun, down to earth movie with talented kids that make a good impression on the audience this movie comes highly recommended.
