When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra
Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada,
the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s
actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon
assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who she’s
tormented for years. He agrees to participate in
the charade, but with a few conditions of his
own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet
his quirky family (Mary Steenburgen, Craig T.
Nelson, Betty White) and the always-in-control
city girl finds herself in one comedic
fish-out-of-water situation after another. With
an impromptu wedding in the works and an
immigration official on their tails, Margaret
and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan
despite the precarious consequences.
