2007
High school teachers Alice, Meg, and Emma embark on a disappointing budget tour of Paris, leading them to abandon their group and accidentally impersonate wealthy heiress Cordelia Winthrop Scott at a luxury hotel. Mistaken for Cordelia, Emma, Alice, and Meg are whisked away to Monte Carlo on a private jet, where they attend glamorous parties and meet eligible bachelors, including Prince Domenico Da Silvano, wealthy businessman Nikolai Ludovic, and charming foundation representative Jean-Pierre Michand. As the women navigate their new identities, Emma falls for Nikolai, Meg finds romance with chef Bernard Rochand, and Alice develops feelings for Jean-Pierre, while her fiancé Richard searches for her back home. The deception unravels when Richard tracks Alice to Monte Carlo, and the real Cordelia arrives, leading to a chaotic confrontation where the women tie up Cordelia to prevent her from exposing them before a crucial charity auction. During the auction, Cordelia escapes and reveals the impersonation, but the women manage to explain their intentions, and the foundation still receives its funding, leading to a happy ending where Emma and Nikolai visit a school built by the foundation in Zambia, and Alice and Meg return to their teaching careers with newfound confidence and love.

Alice Perry, Meg Kelly, Emma Lindgard, Madame Valery, Cordelia Winthrop Scott, Jean-Pierre MichandYeah, I know: I'm funny. But, see if you can answer something for me. Ten years you're married, to the girl you dated in high school. I'm talking the girl you lost your virginity to, the one who gave you two great kids that you're just crazy about. Then one morning, what? You wake up, and out of the blue, it's like, "Oh, hey, honey, I think I'm in love with this other woman..." His patrol partner.
I don't know. Some auction. One of those foundations--. But, have I heard from them? No. And they were to take care of the plane--. Well, I'm certainly not going to go if, Wait, where are you? Reykjavik? Would I need a coat?
It's true. Just kept putting it off. Always managed to find an excuse. But, really, it was that I was afraid. That it couldn't ever live up to the France I'd imagined. And if it did... Then I'd never be able to go home.
People with money. This is why I come. I help assuage their guilt when I remind them that there are children in this world who do not have clean water to drink, while they drink Champagne.
"With your help The Michand Foundation is able to sow the seeds of education, transforming lives, families, and villages, one child at a time..." She didn't say anything about a school!
We'd never been anywhere. And we took a trip, that didn't belong to us... Because, well, because you thought we were... important. And that she was Cordelia... We wanted to help.
You made it! I was getting a little frantic--. When I did not hear from you--. So I sent your TRAVEL-- But, you are here. Forgive me. Jean-Pierre. Michand. With the foundation--
I just wanted to make sure you arrived safely and that I was here to greet you. Oh. And, of course, to deliver your invitations for the week, and the foundation's report--
