This movie is a romantic comedy. This is a story about Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) a high-powered self-absorbed book editor whom all of her employees fear. She works for a successful firm in New York and she is about to be deported back to Canada after her Visa has been denied. In order for her to stay working at the firm she declares that she will marry her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds). He is in shock, and in order for him to keep his position, he follows through with her demands.
She takes him with her to meet with an agent working with the Immigration department who informs them both that he will be questioning them and watching over them to make sure that they are really getting married for love and not just for her to be able to stay in the country. He informs Andrew that he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if he is not telling the truth.
They fly off to Sitka, Alaska to celebrate his grandmother's (Betty White) 90th birthday. Margaret is shocked to find out that Andrew comes from a very wealthy and famous family and that he is very well thought of. She is thrust into numerous situations that she is uncomfortable with but unable to avoid.
There were many scenes that were very funny. Betty White's character as the grandmother was delightful. There were also some very touching and sentimental scenes as well.
I really enjoyed this movie and left the theater completely entertained. I would highly recommend this movie for a fun night out. Be aware for children that there is some nudity during a comedy scene that actually was very funny. I was not expecting the nudity but she covered herself up enough so that it was not offensive. Also be advised that there is a male stripper named Ramon who likes the women and enjoys dancing for them.
Language, crude and sexual material and nudity.
