predictable but good

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2017)

You know how this movie is going to turn out, yet it's still watchable and funny. Ryan Reynolds plays a writer in a firm run by the hard-nosed and unliked Sandra Bullock, whom no one really likes as a supervisor due to the way she runs things. When she learns that she is about to be deported back to her native Canada because she didn't renew her visa, she says she's engaged to Reynolds, and complicated situations arise. They visit his family in Alaska for a relatives' 90th birthday and start to bond. Complications arise with an ex-girlfriend. You can probably figure out what happens next.
The best part of this movie is the hilarious opening sequence and the chemistry between the two lead stars.
**1/2 out of ****
