you cannot deny that olivia going to the white house looks like a promo poster for a 2004 rom com called Heart of State about the first daughter who (whoops!) falls for a hunk who works in the rose garden during his summers off from college and they are star-crossed 
at first, they hate each other! she's studying to get into georgetown! he rides a motorcycle! she's a priss! he's a rebel! but then, one night, as it turns out, he learns that she is a rebel too. climbing down a trellis? changing into a miniskirt? she does it all.
he's like "let me show you MY dc" and they have a wild night of dancing and going to all night restaurants and then she's like let me show you MY dc and you think she's going to take him to a fancy thing on the hill but really she takes him to...a skate park
as it turns out...she can shred.
his passion is cultivating his own rose varietal late nights in the greenhouse. one day, he WILL name his own rose. he wants to name it The Big Ben (his name is Ben). but the end of the film, after some estrangement, he finally creates the perfect pink rose...
and at its unveiling (in this world new roses get some horticultural fanfare) he names it after her secret service code name.
also, as some have suggested here, her secret service detail is definitely a character actor with broad physical comedy chops who WILL steal scenes
he is advised by a cadre of kindly older gardeners who have been at the WH for four presidents; there's a wise one, a goofy one, an irascible one who comes around
anyways call me hollywood i guess
ok the posters are pouring in
