It was exactly what I expected. Not too deep, but just lighthearted and cute. It is the perfect Saturday matinee girls day out kind of movie. I went to see it with a friend, and we both agreed it was very sweet. I loved the scenes that were shot in Alaska, showcasing the beauty of Alaska, and making me wish I could hop on a plane and go there next weekend.
Sandra Bullock plays the uptight boss Margaret Tate, who is about to be deported back to Canada when her Visa is rejected. Sandra looks incredible for her age, and it’s easy to believe she’s a woman in her early 30s, instead of a woman of 45. The delicious Ryan Reynolds plays her assistant, an aspiring book editor named Andrew Paxton, who does whatever she tells him, in hopes of getting that coveted promotion.
Margaret convinces Andrew to marry her so that she can become a citizen. She pushes this lie to its limits by accompanying him on a trip home to visit his family in Alaska (hence the beautiful nature scenes).
A lot of the storyline is predictable, but not in a boring way. There are a few laugh out loud scenes, especially the one with Margaret dancing around to gangster rap in the woods with Andrew’s Grandma. Plus, Ryan Reynolds takes his shirt off, and that alone is worth the movie ticket price. 
Sandra Bullock sheds her clothes (no nudity with strategically placed washclothes) and looks amazing. I’m not sure if it’s the work of weight loss pills or just hard work, but either way whatever she’s doing is working. I can only hope I look half that good at 45!
Betty White was the adorable grandma, and she stole a few scenes with her funny lines, and outright wackiness. “It’s like an easter egg hunt!”
I definitely recommend this movie. My only complaint was that it didn’t last long enough for me. There aren’t too many movies that I can say that about. I’m looking forward to renting the DVD and hoping for deleted scenes!
