Winning London is a 2001 film starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Plot

Chloe Lawrence (Mary-Kate Olsen) is a very driven teenager and leader of her high school's Model United Nations team. After performing particularly well in a competition, the team is selected to attend the international Model UN competition in London, England. One of the team members, Randall, is unable to attend. Chloe's twin sister, Riley (Ashley Olsen), steps in to fill the gap – to get closer to Chloe's attractive teammate, Brian, more than anything else. When the group arrives in London, they discover that someone is already representing their usual country: China. Undaunted, they improvise and end up representing England. Plenty of sight-seeing and shopping ensues, while Chloe takes a fancy to James Browning, the son of an English noble, Lord Browning, who is pressuring his son to achieve more. As the competition progresses, Chloe's over-competitive nature stalls her budding romance, Riley tries to get closer to Brian, and the team earns both admiration and anger for their unconventional methods. Nevertheless, tribulations are weathered and lessons learned about sportsmanship, overlooked friends, and learning to enjoy one's youth.

Goofs

• When Chloe, Riley, Brian, Rachel and Dylan are playing a game of catch to test each other on their knowledge of England, Chloe incorrectly replies "Her Royal Highness" instead of "Her Majesty" when asked the Queen's form of address. However, neither her sister nor any of her friends corrects her.

• During the dialogue between Rachel and Dylan in the club scene, Rachel's fringe changes direction numerous times as the camera swaps from a shoulder shot to a full face shot.

• The actual Model United Nations activity was not well represented in this movie, and rather was modified heavily
