Minka Kelly (Ransom Canyon) is headed to Paris. In the romantic comedy Champagne Problems, the Friday Night Lights star plays an ambitious executive who travels to France to secure the acquisition of a world-renowned champagne brand before Christmas. But her plans are upended when she falls into a whirlwind romance with a charming Parisian — who turns out to be a key player in the vineyard she’s trying to acquire. Mon dieu! 

Champagne Problems, written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Love in the VillaLove, Guaranteed), stars Tom Wozniczka as Minka Kelly’s romantic interest.

What happens in Champagne Problems?

On-the-rise executive Sydney Price (Kelly) is about to make the biggest move of her career: acquiring Château Cassell, one of France’s most beloved champagne houses. On her first night in Paris, she takes a breather from work to enjoy a night on the town, where she has a run-in with a stunning stranger named Henri (Wozniczka). The two hit it off immediately and end up spending the entire night together …. And the sparks that fly could power the City of Lights. 

By the morning, however, any time Sydney had for romance is long gone: She’s headed to Château Cassell to ink the deal. But when she arrives, she’s shocked to see Henri there. It turns out he’s the son of champagne company’s founder, Hugo (de Montalembert). Not only is this potential acquisition now clouded by charming Henri’s presence and her burgeoning feelings, but she must spend the next several days competing with other potential buyers. With both a lucrative business deal and a blossoming romance on the table, Sydney’s in for a jam-packed holiday season.

Tom Wozniczka as Henri Cassell and Minka Kelly as Sydney Price share a drink in ‘Champagne Problems.’
