And how can one ‘fool’ the Immigration system better than marrying someone who’s got all the paperwork done properly?

When Andrew has to visit his family in Sitka, Alaska, he’s joined by his new “fiancee” to his parents amazement. Imagine a well dressed woman (for the NY social events) getting off the plane in the ‘countryside’. Put in the mix some good situational comedy and you have the ingredients for a pretty nice relaxing movie.

Sandra Bullock shows some skin too, while Ryan Reynolds makes it worth the movie for us gals too. Not to mention a very cute white doggie and a well played grandma (Betty White).

Yes, the plot is pretty simple. Yes, you can kinda guess the end (in most romantic comedies the end is clear from the beginning), but the actors do play their parts and the entire experience is a very enjoyable one. Not a movie for someone looking for something ‘serious’, but, if you need to relax those neurons, The Proposal is just what you need. You might even be interested in seeing it again, as I was.
