Well done and well acted, but hard to accept

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2009)

If you are only a Visitor, and not an accepted Immigrant with a Green Card, you cannot work in the United States, even if you are Canadian. I used to live in Toronto in the McCarthy years, and knew a British girl born in Hong-Kong, who was waiting for her Chinese quota for admission in order to enter the United States and marry her fiancé. Bullock could not have been an executive editor for three years without a Green Card. I thought the Walt Disney people knew better. Otherwise, the movie is funny, well acted and quite palatable to anybody who doesn't care for "Jus Solii". Born in Bucharest and having applied for American Immigration Visa in 1947, I got it only in 1964, when I was already happily settled here.Harry Carasso, Paris, France
