Storyline
For three years, Andrew Paxton has slaved as the assistant to Margaret Tate, hard-driving editor at a New York publisher. When Margaret, a Canadian, faces deportation for an expired visa, she hatches a scheme to marry Andrew - he agrees if she'll promise a promotion. A skeptical INS agent vows to test the couple about each other the next Monday. Andrew had plans to fly home that weekend for his grandma's 90th, so Margaret goes with him - to Sitka, Alaska - where mom, dad, and grams await. Family dynamics take over: tensions between dad and Andrew, an ex-girlfriend, Andrew's dislike of Margaret, and her past color the next few days, with the INS ready to charge Andrew with fraud.

Trivia
Julia Roberts was the first choice to play Margaret, but reportedly refused to take a pay cut, so Sandra Bullock took over the role. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Andrew announces his engagement to Margaret to the guests, a woman's voice is heard saying, "Let's get some champagne." Later in the same scene, after Andrew and Margaret share their long kiss, the same voice can be heard saying the same line, even though everyone in the shot is already holding a champagne glass with liquid in it.
