Charming but expected

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2020)

Hunky Ryan Reynolds and the always dependable Sandra Bullock are the mvps of this otherwise generic rom com. Betty White of course always adds some life and is the ultimate scene stealer. Bullock plays a driven book editor who finds out shes being deported because her work Visa has expired. In a last minute ditch effort she says her and her assistant the sexy, charming Reynolds are getting married. After a proposal to save her career and some immigration officers on their tales they have to visit his family in Alaska for his grandmothers birthday. The movie is fun but expected and if I'm being honest their chemistry is more friendly than fiery. That being said there are some big laughs, it's all in good fun and its entertaining which is the point.
