Introduction

This film was recently showing in Spanish Cinemas; my brother went with his girlfriend to see it after she and I convinced him to watch it, but they came back home after only watching half the film! He doesn’t like romantic comedies as he is more into action films, thrillers and horror films. Unfortunately I couldn’t go during the showing period, but recently it was showing on the DVD channels for the first time on TV, so I was pretty happy to watch it with my mum (as none of the males in the house wanted to see it with us)! Oh well . . . never mind.  At least if they had joined us they wouldn’t have stopped talking!

Plot

Margaret Tate is a bossy and hard to please executive editor of a book publishing company, Colden.  She is so officious that nearly everyone in the office hates her. Even her young assistant Andrew (who has worked for her for three years) fears her, trying to please her as much as he can and at the same time, he hates her guts and wishes that she would be hit by a car or be poisoned!

Bossy Margaret is facing a major problem and time is crucial for her especially when she was informed by the owners of book company that her visa cannot be renewed because she missed some vital document in her application and it’s too late to reapply so she has to be deported from the country as soon as possible and go back to her native country, Canada. She tried to persuade them to let her stay but they refused until (without any introduction or second thoughts) she brought her assistant and declared to the bosses that he is her fiancée and future husband-to-be, just so she can stay in the states.


She had a cunning idea! She forced Andrew to pretend that they are so much in love in front of them and later she explained herself to him. He agreed to the deception, but with his own conditions: to have a promotion and to publish his book.


Poor Andrew accepted and the deal was on but still there a few problems . . . first they have to convince the INS agent Mr. Gilbertson who was very sceptical after receiving a phone call from an employee who was fired by Miss Tate earlier. Their other problem was even more complicated: they must convince his family with their love. Anyway they carried on their plan and went to a small town in Alaska (Stitka) to meet his family and celebrate his granny’s 90th birthday . . . Time is critical for her and their adventure began and the unexpected happed.
