When the newspaper Fred works for is acquired by a media mogul, he resigns. To cheer him up, his friend takes him to an event where it turns out that the United States Secretary of State, Charlotte, is also present. They were neighbors when they were young, and she used to babysit him. They reconnect quickly, and when Charlotte needs a speechwriter in her campaign to become the next President of the United States, she wants Fred because she likes what he has written as a reporter.
The movie has a somewhat childish 'humor,' but it's not without its charm. It also deviates from the usual romantic film patterns as the plot doesn't follow any of the common templates.
