Plot
Duncan Fletcher, an average teenager in suburban Washington, D.C., makes a bet with his friends Curtis and Arthur to find a date for his school's spring dance. Duncan does not recognize her as the president's daughter. He asks her to the dance, and she accepts, giving him an address that turns out to be the White House. Meanwhile, Duncan's family plans a house party for his father's company.
Duncan asks his father Charles to borrow the company car, a red BMW 525i, but is refused; he takes it anyway. Arriving at the White House, Duncan is astonished. Hallie has him meet her father, who sets limits on their date and insists the Secret Service accompany them. Hallie claims they are only going to dinner and a movie, but this is a cover so she and Duncan can sneak away at a movie theater.
Once the agents lose them, the president orders Duncan's family brought to the fundraiser. Hallie and Duncan stop at a store called F/X for new clothes; Hallie picks a pink velour mini-dress and an expensive leather jacket for Duncan. On the way to the dance, Hallie wants to briefly visit Club Alien, a new nightclub. Duncan calls his friends to say he is bringing the president's daughter, insisting he is not lying and raising the bet amount.
