American divorcée Larita (Jessica Biel) meets a wealthy young Englishman, John Whittaker (Ben Barnes), in France and impulsively marries him — but she’s not ready to take on her disapproving new in-laws (Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas). When John returns to his parents’ country estate with his new bride, the dysfunctional Whittaker family attempts to destroy the spirited American girl. This romantic comedy is based on Noel Coward’s play.
