description: A romantic comedy with a delightfully biting literary edge, this is the story of Melissa, a sharp-eyed American abroad.  Fired by her San Francisco ad agency, she cancels her wedding to Ted, and soon regrets her next impulsive move -- across the Atlantic, as au pair to a minorly aristocratic British family, with the mother from hell, an ineffectual, sweet-natured father, and their three children.
