Very Cliché but better than expected

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2010)

Yes there were clichés after clichés and we know the ending before the opening credits are done. I wont tell by the way lol. Shades of 'Sweet Home Alabama' mixed with 'My Best Friends Wedding' and 'How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days' and throw in just about every other romantic comedy. I am not a big Sandra Bullock fan but have to admit, she had a fine acting job in this film , have not seen, her Oscar performance yet. Betty White was terrific as the spunky grandmother of our assistant Andrew to Margaret the chief editor aka shrew of a top notch publishing company. Faced with deportation, Andrew agrees to marry Margaret to save her life so to speak. Everything is not what it seems as far as Andrews life as well as with Margarets life. Some laughs and some tender moments and we have a nice film , albeit predictable. Ryan Reynolds was only ordinary as Andrew and that assessment is being kind. Worth seeing , but only if its for a buck or less.
