Plot Summary


As the once-happy couple Richard (Pierce Brosnan) and Kate Jones (Emma Thompson) navigate their post-divorce lives with their two children Sophie and Matt, a sudden turn of events sends their world spiraling out of control. The sale of Richard’s company to a ruthless French businessman, Vincent (Laurent Lafitte), results in the loss of their pension plan, leaving them penniless and desperate. With no other choice, they embark on a perilous journey to Paris to confront Vincent, only to be met with his calculated indifference towards their plight.

Vincent’s impending nuptials with his stunning fiancée, Manon (Louise Bourgoin), serve as the perfect catalyst for Richard and Kate’s plan to reclaim their lost investments. They learn that Vincent has gifted Manon a priceless diamond worth over $10 million and concoct a scheme to steal it, intending to use it as a replacement for the pension money he’s stolen from them.

As they follow Vincent and his bride-to-be to the south of France, Richard and Kate enlist the help of their friends Jerry and Penelope to infiltrate Vincent’s wedding party. Disguising themselves as a group of enthusiastic Texans, they hope to blend in seamlessly, swap the diamond for a fake, and escape undetected. Their plan is put into action, but just as they’re about to make their move, Kate forms an unexpected connection with Manon at a beachside bash.

Manon’s subsequent confession of her doubts about the wedding sends Richard and Kate into overdrive, but it also leads to an impromptu marriage counseling session between Kate and Manon. As the truth about their motives is revealed, Manon surprisingly decides to hand over the diamond of her own accord, freeing Richard and Kate from their predicament.

However, Vincent’s suspicions are aroused when he realizes the switch has been made, and Jerry and Penelope must think fast to get away with the gemstone - literally swallowing it. In a heart-stopping sequence, Richard and Kate find themselves on the brink of disaster as they’re nearly sent tumbling down a cliff in a van. Luckily, Manon intervenes just in time, allowing Kate to make contact with their backup team, who arrive via boat.

With the diamond sold for a whopping $15 million to Jerry’s shady acquaintance, Richard and Kate decide to splurge on a well-deserved vacation while Jerry and Penelope return to donate the funds to Richard’s former employees. As they set sail into the unknown, Richard and Kate can’t help but wonder what other adventures await them on the horizon.
