10E

A few years after her mother's passing, 17-year-old Tennie's reputation at school takes a major hit before the prom. To further complicate the daily rigors of teenage life, her father Robert, an advertising executive who has since rebuilt his business, tries to do the same with his relationship with his daughter. Against his therapist's advice, overeager Robert tries really hard to get close to Tennie by showing his own way of caring. He tries to find out about his daughter's personal life with help from his newly-appointed 19-year-old driver/intern Jack. Practically raised by her extended family, Tennie, although very academically-inclined and mature for her age, with compassion for others, has a touch of sarcasm and a hint of rebelliousness. After she catches on to her father's plan, she realizes that to get her father off of her back, she needs to convince him to find a lady friend. Unaware that her father is already seeing someone that he's not quite ready to introduce to her, she recruits her friends to create an online-dating profile to introduce her father to potential companions. Things escalate when Robert gets Tennie's friends from school to participate in a focus group for a project, and in retaliation, Tennie throws a party at the house and almost half the school shows up. A series of hilarious interactions between father and daughter ensues that starts to close the generational gap between them. What finally brings them together is a long-overdue heart-to-heart conversation about past transgressions. One thing becomes certain: they will always have each other.
