Plot:
Boston beer-deliveryman Elliot Doolittle duly expresses the general public disdain for education consultant Hannah Higgins, whose posh pedantic air lost sympathy and hence a senatorial election. Taking literally her sneer that one should learn how to scold in proper English, when a vendor post--lucrative promotion--opens, he turns up, willing to pay for a course. Hannah's firm and campaign deputy Colleen comes up with a better idea: as the spinning team agreed that Hannah can't win without vulgarizing way more then she even considers, they should groom naturally-agreeable common man Elliot to take her place. The lessons go well; he even accepts after initial fury having been tricked into applying for an absurdly inept job; the campaign starts well despite his parasitic mother demanding 'her cut' and giving the Republican opponent an unfair scandal excuse.
