The movie starts off with Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) snoozing his alarm clock, and jumping out of bed realizing that he’s overslept and could be late for work. He rushes out and gets to the office in the nick of time. Just as he gets to his desk, Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) walks into the office. Everyone either stutters or looks away as she coldly, hurriedly walks past them and directly into her office. Margaret is a book editor for a big NYC Publishing company and Andrew is her assistant/secretary.
Trailer:
Margaret fires an editor named Bob Spaulding, who tries to embarrass her by yelling at her in front of the entire office. She takes the abuse then threatens to have security escort him out if he doesn’t leave immediately. Once he’s gone, she tells Andrew that she’s gonna need him this weekend causing him to break plans to attend his grandmother’s 90th birthday party. His father berates him over the phone and urges him to quit. When he senses Margaret coming towards him, he makes it seem like he’s speaking with a writer, but she’s onto him and asks if his family told him to quit. He replies, “Everyday.”
Later, she’s called into the office of her bosses who tell her that because she left the country to woo a new writer a few months before, she voided her visa and will be deported shortly. This would mean that she would lose her job, which would be given to the only other editor in the building – Bob, who she just fired. At that moment, Andrew interrupts with a phone call from a writer, Margaret tells him to take a message, so he asks if he should say she is otherwise “engaged?” Margaret’s eyes light with an idea. She calls Andrew into the office and announces to her bosses that she and Andrew are getting married. He tries to deny it, but she convinces them otherwise.
After they leave the office, she blackmails Andrew to keep the ruse until she gains her citizenship. He reluctantly agrees and heads over to Immigration with her. At the office, they meet Mr. Gilbertson, who immediately recognizes their situation, and tries to intimidate them into confessing. Andrew seems like he’s going to crack, but decides against it and inturn blackmails her into promoting him. They tell him that they are going to announce their engagement at his grandmother’s party this weekend…in Alaska.
