Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts in order to get the position of editor within the company. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie, but start to fall genuinely in love as they spend time together.

During the screening I went to there was lots of laughter, but I seemed to be the only one who gasped when Bullock’s character talked to people the way she did.

I guess these characters weren’t really supposed to be the kind of people you might work with. Come to think of it, the more I analyze it, the more I take away from it. Just go and put yourself on autopilot and don’t try to figure out whether it could really happen. Enjoy the Ryan Reynolds eye candy and try not to wince at how skinny Sandra Bullock has become.
