What's The Story
Book editor Maggie is everyone's worst nightmare: ruthless, selfish, driven, and tactless. But when a problem with her Visa could potentially send her back to Canada and destroy her all-important career, she comes up with a solution on the spur of the moment: marry her much younger (but all-American) assistant. Unfortunately, the government is understandably suspicious, and so the two faux lovers must embark on a humiliating charade in order to make the marriage seem legitimate.Three Good Reasons
- 1Sandra Bullock is back after a long absence from romantic comedy, lured by the delicious prospect of playing the bad girl.
- 2Ryan Reynolds, who continues to balance work in action movies (like Wolverine) with comedies, is a great pal of Bullock's in real life, giving the two a perfect rapport on screen.
- 3If you think you know sweet-natured senior Betty White, you might want to think again. Her role in this movie will have you falling out of your chair.
