Plot
Twins Leila (Ashley) and Charli (Mary-Kate) Hunter go to Rome to participate in a Summer Intern Program along with four others, Paolo, Nobu, Dari, and Heidi. After they begin, the sisters are soon fired due to careless mishaps. They soon meet Derek Hammond, who re-hires them. They spend the day at Hammond’s house, where Leila meets bad boy Ryan, who happens to be Derek’s nephew. Leila and Ryan develop a liking for each other. Back at work, the girls are grasping more the concept of being responsible and throughout the whole ordeal, become great friends with the other interns, Charli and Paolo developing feelings for each other. When the interns had to deliver some designs for a shoot, Mr. Tortoni, sabotages them by stealing the dresses. Leila, with Ryan’s help captures pictures of this, and delivers the pictures to Derek. Everyone helps to make new dresses, using Charlie’s designs before the big day. In the end, the photo shoot goes well and Tortoni re-hires. Derek comes with the police to arrest him, and it is discovered that Tortoni was always jealous for having everything, the money, and the girl (Jamie). The movie closes with Jamie and Derek and Charli and Paolo kissing. Ryan tries to kiss Leila, but she tells him she’s good with just a hug. Derek decides to take all the interns to New York with him, which was the goal of them all in the beginning.
