Both main characters are nicely developed in this movie, but particularly Bullock. She does a great job as both the stick in the mud and the softer woman. Pretty much a foregone conclusion, but enjoyable getting there and the Alaskan landscape is breathtaking. Oddly reminiscent of Bullock's "While You Were Sleeping", the guilt over a lie having to do with a non existent engagement; even Betty White playing the old grandmother, and the inevitable falling in love and actually marrying...perhaps they didn't feel they got it right in the first movie and needed to repeat. A feel good movie that is worth watching if you're looking for a pleasant ending. It will be called a chick flick soon enough.
Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality and many more) stars with Ryan Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe + More). Bullock is Margaret, the hard nosed editor at a book publishing house and Reynolds is Andrew, her executive assistant (actually her 24 hour get me what I want man). When Margaret is threatened with deportation back to her home country of Canada she concocts a scheme to get married to Andrew so she can stay in the US and save her job. To get andrew to agree to this, she threatens him (actually blackmails is a better word) and finally he agrees to go along with it. The plot unfolds from there as the young couple head off to Alaska to meet Andrews parents and celebrate his grandmothers 90th birthday. And here we have the best part of the entire movie. Grandma is played by Betty White (who actually will be celebrating her 90th birthday in 2012). Ms White is one the television and motion picture Icons who lights up any screen she appears on and she does not hold anything back in this movie. It is worth the price of this DVD just to see her performance. Also starring in this movie are: Malin Akerman, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Oscar Nuñez and Aasif Mandvi The movie is VERY predictable but it was also VERY funny and Betty White was great. So get this one and have a good laugh. Rated PG13 for some brief semi nudity and sexual humor.Read full review
