Guarding Tess (PG-13) The ultimate sacrifice Secret Service agent Doug Chesnic . (Nicolas Cage) makes is to stick it out in the service of Tess Carlisle (Shirley MacLaine), a lonely, widowed former first lady who can be a demanding pill when she wants to be. How Doug battles Tess, makes a truce with Tess, and comes finally to love and respect her, Driving Miss Daisy-like, forms the basis of a lulling, comfy TV-screen-size story filled with gentle laughs.
