The final hour and a half of a troubled teenager's life is recounted in real time in this independent drama. Harold (Patrick J. Adams) is celebrating his 19th birthday, but so far he doesn't feel much like partying. Not long after writing a letter to the father he hasn't seen in years, Harold says goodbye to his mother, Sarah (Marilyn McIntyre), and her boyfriend, Ronnie (Joseph Hacker), who are heading off for a vacation in Hawaii; Harold has learned that Sarah will be marrying Ronnie, which he hardly regards as good news. Harold's best friend, Johnny (Brian Bedard), stops by to show him a good time; Johnny is a hard-partying ne’er-do-well who has invited along a drug dealer named Tits (Scott Cushman) for the evening, to Harold's chagrin. Before long, Shannon (Shannon Coltrane), Harold's girlfriend, stops by; Shannon had plans of her own for Harold's birthday, and isn't happy about the presence of Tits or Johnny, the latter of whom dated Shannon for a while. Meanwhile, Tits busies himself with Kathy (Courtney Andersen), one of Shannon's air-headed friends. Before long Tits begins distributing samples of his wares and emotions are raised to a fever pitch, pushing Harold toward a terrible decision. Façade was the first feature film from writer, director, and actor Brian Bedard. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A very special student deals with exams, first love, and national security issues in this teen-oriented romantic comedy-drama. Samantha MacKenzie (Katie Holmes) is a seemingly ordinary college freshman with one important exception -- her father happens to be the President of the United States (Michael Keaton). Samantha, however, would prefer to be as inconspicuous as possible as she begins her studies at Redmond University, so she asks a favor of her father -- remove the two Secret Service agents who follow her everywhere, and allow her to fend for herself at school. The president agrees, but out of concern for her safety, he sends in a young undercover agent, James (Marc Blucas), who will pose as the Resident Advisor at her dorm to keep an eye on her. Samantha and James strike up a fast friendship that grows into a romance, but when Samantha discovers the truth about James, she wonders if his love for her is real or just part of his cover. First Daughter was directed by actor-turned-director Forest Whitaker. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
