The film is a great debut for her as she plays a feature role in the movie and the project plays to her strengths as she both acts and sings in the "Mamma Mia" type film. The film is a romantic comedy drama musical in which the character Maddie invites her sister Taylor to her wedding to Raf. However, the drama arises because Maddie is unaware that Raf is Taylor's ex-love. Leona plays the role of Elena, a friend of Taylor.
One of the great aspects of Leona Lewis acting and singing in this movie is that for several members of the cast the movie is their movie debut and as such they were able to confront their fears and nerves together and thus this only enhanced the camaraderie of the cast.
