為了推動教育改革，漢娜希金斯競選國會議員但卻遭遇慘敗。她決定雇一個南波士頓的啤酒小販作為自己的競選搭檔，並把他作為自己的改造“項目”——讓他變成一個紳士。隨著他變得越來越有型，她則變得越來越不那麼拘謹。這場競選能否成就一段天造地設的浪漫愛情呢？
Hannah Higgins (Julia Stiles) is a smart, driven consultant. To advance the cause of education reform, she runs for Congress – but loses, big-time. Voters just can’t warm to her. For the next election she recruits a beer vendor named Elliot Doolittle (David Walton). Elliot’s the opposite of prim-and-proper Hannah. He speaks with a thick South Boston accent, he has an unruly beard, he dresses super-informally. Hannah takes Elliot on as a “project.” She tries to get him to speak like a gentleman, dress like a gentleman, comport himself like a gentleman. As Elliot becomes more “presentable” and Hannah becomes a little less high-falutin’, could this turn in to a love match made in election Heaven?
