Plot: Powerhouse publisher Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) gets into immigration trouble and blackmails her secretary Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) into marrying her so she can stay in the country. To make the lie believable she goes to Alaska to visit his family, where comic situations follow that lead to a happy ending.

Review: This is a funny, enjoyable movie with alert directing and good facial acting. The chemistry between the Bollack's Margaret and Reynold's Andrew is fun to watch as they worm their way through the predictable consequences of there scam. There are several good scenes including the dress fitting, Ramone the exotic dancer, and the eagle stealing the cell phone.

This is just a rom-com, but it is a good rom-com, and most people would enjoy it. 

Cast and crew: Sandra Bollack, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White; Directed by Anne Fletcher, written by Pete Chiarelli
