![]() Tagline: Here comes the bribe.
When high-powered StateNew York book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to her native country-Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), whom 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.
Also starring in the summer comedy are Malin Akerman (“27 Dresses”) as Gertrude, the vivacious young woman Andrew left behind, Tony Award-winner Denis O'Hare (“Baby Mama,”) as the determined immigration officer, and Oscar Nunez (“The Office”) as a decidedly unexotic exotic dancer.
