aaand The Princess Diaries, and the Lizzie McGuire Movie — which Chasing Liberty looks like a complete rip-off of, lock stock and two smoking barrels.
Studios know their Pre-Teen demographic and these kind of movies are relatively cheap to produce. Once one script makes the rounds, it’s pretty easy for them to say “Well, here’s our version of the same story with our-brand teen star, instead of Disney’s.”
