Advantages: Very funny, great acting, very good story and excellent dialogue. Disadvantages: None.
...whip-wielding [symbolically speaking] boss of the worst kind. She's tough as nails, wouldn't even know how to crack a smile, and has absolutely no idea what 'feelings' are. The employees live in fear of her, however, her superiors appreciate the neat and tidy work environment she has created and respect her strong-willed workaholic ways because they work to the company's advantage. Unfortunately for Andrew Paxton, he's Margaret's assistant, and although ... ...denied a work Visa in the US and is about to be deported back to Canada [her home], she takes one look at clueless Andrew Paxton, an all-around nice guy, and tells her bosses that she and Andrew are getting married! Stunned, Andrew goes along with his arrogant boss-from-hell while they are in the presence of the 'big' boss, but immediately balks the moment they return to Margaret's office. For obvious reasons, Andrew isn't too keen about the idea ...

Advantages: Good acting, very funny Disadvantages: Ryan Reynolds
...what could be described as the boss from hell and is loathed by every single one of her colleagues. After learning that she is going to be deported back to her home country of Canada she hatches a plan to save herself from deportation… marriage.
She blackmails her hard working and loyal assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) into marrying her, if he marries her he gets a promotion so it’s a win win situation. What they aren’t aware of is that they ... ...Andrew goes along with the scam and takes Margaret to meet his family in Alaska with the hope of convincing them of their engagement. The family quickly warm to Margaret who takes a little more time to adjust in the cold countryside however she eventually thaws out and warms to Andrew’s family. However when news of their fake engagement reaches the family they better be prepared for one hell of an almighty backlash…
I’m a big fan of romantic comedies ...

Advantages: brilliant night in with the girlies or boyfriend film Disadvantages: did drag on in the middle slightly
...lauging. It is one of the funiest Romcom's I have seen in a while and this was just my type of film. In part of the film I did want the story line to move a bit faster, but other than that it is a brillant easy watch. I'd suggest it being good for a girls night in or you could even get your boyfriend to watch it with you if you are lucky.
Brilliant acting from both Ryan Renalds and Sandra Bullock.
The happy couple stumble upon each other when Sandra ... ...you find out from watching the film as I don't want to spoil it. I love how Sandra Bullock always seems to find her feet playing a more masculine character, for example in Miss Congeniality, but then she changes and is more like us girlies than you will ever know. These types of films always remind me of the before and after shots of people having make overs, when you see how much they change when they have had their make over. This is so much like ...
