This is the story of Edward Bloom, a braggart who has always exaggerated his exploits and experiences as a young man, when he left his small town in Alabama for adventures near and far. Nearly everyone has been spellbound by Edward's terrific tall tales over the years -- everyone but his estranged son, who has come home to take care of his dying dad and separate fact from fiction.

'Chasing Liberty'

Starring Mandy Moore, Matthew Goode, Jeremy Piven, Anabella Sciorra, Mark Harmon, and Caroline Goodall. Anna Foster is just like any other 18-year-old -- she wants to travel on her own and experience life. There's one problem, though: She's the only daughter of the president of the United States. That means Secret Service bodyguards follow her everywhere. While she's accompanying her father on a trip to Europe, he agrees to give her one night on her own. But when he breaks his promise, Anna says enough. She manages to escape her security detail with the help of a handsome stranger, and the two start an adventurous whirlwind romance while trekking across Europe.
