Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This bombed so hard ($12M worldwide on a $23M budget) that it killed the 'First Daughter' subgenre until Katie Holmes tried again with the same plot in 2004. Yes, same year. No, nobody noticed.
Mandy Moore was simultaneously starring in this and voicing Rapunzel in development hell—this film's 'trapped princess' energy accidentally predicted her actual iconic role. The universe has a sense of humor.
