A young woman (Amanda Bynes) who lives in New York with her mother (Kelly Preston) longs to meet her long-lost British father (Colin Firth). One day she decides that she cannot wish and wait any longer and travels to London, where she discovers that not only he's an aristocrat, but he's just announced his candidacy for political office. Apart from the inevitable lifestyle clash, a scandal such as the sudden appearance of an American teenage daughter could ruin him. Also with Jonathan Pryce and Anna Chancellor. [1:40]
