A teenage girl named Chloe Lawrence is the leader of her high school’s Model United Nations team. There are a few other members, too, including Dylan, who is enthusiastic but can be immature, and Rachel, who is just as serious as Chloe.

Their team wins a competition with another school. As a result, they are selected to go to the International Model United Nations in London.

However, one of the kids, Randall, is unable to attend since his sister is getting married. So, Chloe’s twin sister, Riley, takes his place.

 Shortly after, they fly across the ocean to London. Then they check into their hotel.

While there, Dylan accidentally leaves the bathroom with toilet paper on his shoe. It ends up getting transferred to Chloe’s shoe.

Then Chloe notices this cute British boy, making her more embarrassed to have toilet paper on her foot. The kid introduces himself as James. Chloe moves past the toilet paper incident and develops feelings for him.

The next day, all the Model UN teams meet. The director, Julia Watson, welcomes them and makes important announcements.

Chloe and Riley’s team was supposed to represent China—except that another team took that. Since they are in the United Kingdom, they decide to represent that nation.

The team goes around London and does a lot of sightseeing for their research. An example of an essential sight is Westminster Abbey, since many leaders were buried there.

They also go to Buckingham Palace and try to tell jokes with the guard, even though he’s not supposed to speak. Chloe’s relationship with James also grows.

Meanwhile, Riley is spending time with Brian, who is also her mom’s friend’s son. They do a lot together, such as ride a boat around the city.

Aside from researching and touring, Chloe and Riley’s team also does some shopping. Regardless of how much fun they’re having, though, James’s father, Lord Browning, doesn’t approve of him dating girls. He wants him to focus more on his academics.

At some point, Chloe gets to watch a polo match with James. After it ends, he allows her to participate—except that she causes the team to lose. Even though she didn’t mean it, it displeases James.

The competition is approaching, yet Chloe isn’t sure if her team is ready. Can they still compete and, hopefully, win?

This movie was engaging all the way through. Even though it’s classified as a comedy, I didn’t really laugh. But I did admire other elements.

A big one was the sightseeing and education about London. I’ve actually been there when I was 14. And yes, I toured Westminster Abbey and saw Buckingham Palace. So, when the characters went around London, it reminded me of when I went there.

Speaking of characters, some had memorable traits. A major example is Dylan. He would film at bad times, act silly when inappropriate, or embarrass people. One time, he burped after being warned that the team was being monitored and would lose points if they displeased the judges.

Chloe and Riley were also likable. I particularly admired their relationships with James and Brian. Regardless of that, though, I do wish James and Brian were more distinguishable. Their hair and faces looked a little too similar. I could usually just distinguish them by their accents.

And I will also admit that some of the characters had little development, personality, or unique traits. But the fact that the plot was a bit more important makes those flaws less glaring.

The pacing was quick and scenes switched at just the right moments. That being said, some parts were confusing. But luckily, that was minor.

Overall, I enjoyed Winning London. Please note that this movie is NOT streaming on any main platform (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.). I watched it for free on this third-party site, m(dot)ok(dot)ru. You could watch it there if you don’t have a DVD or Blu-ray player.

Anyway, I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
