Andrew Paxton is late for work; he manages
to pick up the coffee for his boss and rushes across the busy streets of New York to reach
Colden books where he works. His boss, Margeret, is the editor in chief
and she is fixing up an interview with a client on her way to office. As Andrew enters the office, he bumps into
someone and spills Margaret’s coffee. He trades his tickets to a baseball game for
the shirt of one of his colleagues. Ladies at the entrance send word of Margaret’s
arrival and everyone seem to be working. Andrew updates her schedule for the day and
leaves to make the arrangements. Margaret takes her coffee but notices a phone
number written on the cup. Andrew lets her know that he spilled her coffee
and she is surprised to learn that he drinks the coffee same as hers. Andrew brushes it off as pure coincidence. Right then, the phone rings and Andrew learns
that Bob is ready for them now. Andrew goes out to send message to everyone
that she will be outside and everyone gets back to be seen working again. Andrew joins her, and asks her about the manuscript
he gave her. She doesn’t like it but he still tries to
persuade her to try publishing the novel. Right then, Margaret notices the guy he exchanged
shirts with and tells him that he truly is pathetic ordering the same coffee for such
scenarios. As they reach Bob’s room, she tells Andrew
to just watch. Bob welcomes them but Margaret lets him know
that he is fired. She tells him since he could not manage to
seal the deal with the client, he isn’t needed here. Andrew is surprised to learn of this and closes
the door. Bob puts forth an argument that the task is
impossible, but Margaret lets him know that the client approved this morning over a phone
call. She gives him two months to find another job
and asks him to tell everyone that he resigned. They go back but Bob comes out calling her
a poisonous bitch. He starts shouting that she is firing him
since she is scared of him. However, Margaret lets him know that if she
hears another word from him, she is gonna have security throw him out. As they return, she tells Andrew to come in
this weekend to go over Bob’s files and manuscripts. However, Andrew has plans to go home for his
grandmother Gammy’s 90th birthday but she declines. Sometime later, he calls his mom to inform
about his situation. Margaret comes to his desk and Andrew reveals
that it was his family and they tell him to quit every single day. Right then, Andrew informs Margaret that the
Chairman wants to meet her. She leaves telling him to come get her in
ten minutes. The Chairman lets her know that they got a
call from the immigration office that her visa application is being denied and she is
getting deported. Margaret is shocked to learn of this and asks
is there’s anything they can do. He tells her that they can reapply but still
she has to leave the country for atleast an year. Shocked as is, she goes to tell that she can
manage things from Toronto but the Chairman cuts in stating that they cannot employ someone
who is deported. He also tells her that until everything is
resolved, they will have Bob take her place. Well, she just fired the guy but the Chairman
mentions that Bob is the only guy in the building with enough experience to take her place. At this time, Andrew comes knocking and tells
Margaret that an important client called. Margaret thinks of a crazy idea and signals
Andrew to join her. Margaret reveals to the Chairman that Andrew
and her are getting married. She tries her best to come up with a story
of how they fell in love. Andrew is speechless and the Chairman gets
what is happening and tells her to make it legal. As Margaret and Andrew make it back downstairs
and the news soon spreads around the office. They ridicule Andrew for choosing Margaret. Coming back to reality, Andrew asks her what
the hell just happened. She tells him that she did it for him, since
they are going to bring Bob back, he is guaranteed to get fired and all the time he spent running
behind her will go to waste. And after the required time, they can just
get divorced is what she says and even though this is illegal Andrew agrees. They visit the immigration office and Margaret
cuts the line to get her file moved. But they are called in for a separate meeting. Gilbertson welcomes them and gets straight
to the point asking them if they are committing fraud with the marriage just so Margaret doesn’t
get deported. He says that they got a call from Bob informing
of this. Margaret reveals that Bob is an ex-employee
and is trying to get back at her. She tries to rush the process with her attitude
and Andrew feels the whole thing going south. Gilbertson reveals that it is not a simple
process and there are different steps to the whole thing. First, they will be asked the same questions
in separate rooms. Secondly, their phone records will be checked
and finally, their neighbours and co-workers will be interviewed. If at any point their answers don’t match,
Margaret will be deported indefinitely and Andrew will have committed a felony and asked
to pay a fine of two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars and will be in prison for five years. He asks Andrew if he got anything to say but
Andrew uses this chance to say that with his promotion to editor coming up, they couldn’t
let anyone in the office find out about their relationship. Following this, Gilbertson asks whether they
have told their parents and Margaret reveals that she is an orphan and they were gonna
reveal their relationship to Andrew’s family this weekend at his grandmother’s 90th birthday. Gilbertson is still doubtful and asks where
that might be. Margaret asks Andrew to jump in and he reveals
that his family lives in Sitka, Alaska. Margaret is shocked to learn this, however
she still says that they will be going to Alaska this weekend. Gilbertson agrees and schedules their next
meeting on Monday. As they leave, Margaret goes on her usual
run to give off her commands but Andrew cuts her in asking whether she heard everything
they were told inside. Margaret says that there is no way he is getting
promoted but Andrew tells her that he quits and walks away. With what’s at stake, Margaret gives in
and agrees to his requests. The next day, they board the flight and Andrew
lets her know that he already knows everything about her but she got only four days to learn
everything about him. Intrigued she asks him a couple of questions
to find that he knows the right answers. As the plane lands, Andrew notices his mom
and Gammy waiting. Andrew goes ahead to greet them and he introduces
Margaret to his mom, Grace and Gammy Annie. Margaret thanks them for having her join them
this weekend. Gammy is thrilled and as they drive into town,
Margaret notices every store they cross having the Paxton name and asks him why he hasn’t
mentioned about their family businesses. Gammy mentions Andrew being so modest and
they drive further ahead. They reach the dock and Margaret is confused
since they should be checking in their hotel right now. Grace has cancelled their reservation and
asks her to stay at home. They ride the boat and Margaret is shocked
to discover that the mansion in sight is his home. Reaching shore, Grace tells him that they
have planned a small welcoming party for them. They head inside and Andrew introduces Margaret
to everyone and his dad, Joe welcomes them. He also reveals to the guests that Margaret
is actually Andrew’s boss. Joe argues with how he complained about her
all this time only to bring her along as his girlfriend. Andrew corrects him that they are going to
get married. Joe is shocked to hear this and Andrew goes
on to announce their engagement. Hearing the news, the family calls for a celebration. Andrew spots his ex-girlfriend, Gertrude and
introduces her to Margaret. She congratulates them and asks how Andrew
proposed to Margaret. The family gather around to hear the story
as well. Margaret and Andrew try coming up with an
insane story and the family ask them to kiss for real. The try kissing to please the family but Margaret
feels some tingle in her. After this, Grace and Gammy take them to Andrew’s
room for them to stay and Gammy even present her magic blanket to help with baby making. They leave them for the day and Andrew sleeps
on the floor. In the morning, Margaret gets a call and goes
out to take the call. She leaves the door open and the pet dog follows
her out. Soon, an eagle dives down to catch it and
worried, Margaret throws her phone at the eagle and it drops the dog. But it comes back to take her phone away. Feeling bad for saving the dog, she carries
the dog asking the eagle to drop her phone. Gammy and Grace see her thinking that Margaret
is playing with the dog. Andrew comes down and he is shocked for what
he sees. Gammy tells him that they have plans for the
day with her. Andrew lets Margaret know that the phone can
be arranged the next day and informs that his mom and gammy have plans for her. Later, Joe apologises to Andrew for the day
before. But given that no one knew that their son
was even dating, he doesn’t want to be blamed for anything. Following this, Joe asks Andrew to take care
of the family businesses. Andrew leaves in anger since Joe doesn’t
approve of his work which makes him happy. At this time, the Paxton ladies take Margaret
to the local strip club where Ramone is performing. The ladies make Margaret take the stage and
enjoy the event but Margaret has had her fill soon and goes outside for some air. Gertrude follows her out and shares how they
broke up since Andrew wanted to leave for New York and she didn’t want to. She leaves after congratulating her to get
a guy like Andrew. Soon the party comes to a close and Margaret
returns home with Grace and Gammy. They notice Andrew butchering an old canoe
by the shore. As they head inside, Grace gives Joe a handful
since Andrew might leave them for good because of him. Margaret leaves upstairs to take a shower
as she hears their conversation. Andrew with his headphones on enters the house
and goes upstairs as well. Margaret forgot to take a towel and the dog
comes in barking at her. Andrew still with his head phones on, heads
to the balcony to take off his clothes and heads inside. At this time, Margaret manages to lock the
dog inside and walks out to bump into Andrew who is naked as well. They go their separate ways and that night
they have trouble sleeping. Margaret asks him what’s the deal between
him and his father, but he refuses talking about it. However, Margaret shares her life story and
they have an honest heart to heart conversation and laugh themselves to sleep. The next morning, Margaret wakes up to Grace
waiting at the door. Andrew joins her on bed and as Grace enters
the room, Joe follows her ins as well. They announce that they have planned for them
to Marry tomorrow according the Paxton family tradition in their barn. The acting couple decline, since it is Gammy‘s
birthday tomorrow but Gammy herself comes in asking for them to marry before she dies. With that thrown out there, Margaret and Andrew
agree to get married. After they exit the room, Andrew freaks out
saying that they will be crushed if they ever find out that the whole thing is a sham. Margaret comforts him that everything will
be fine and she gets up to bring Andrew his coffee and bread. Andrew is surprised to see her act this way
and she herself is too. So, she heads outside for a breather. She finds a bicycle and takes it for a ride
to clear her thoughts. When she stops, she hears a voice and following
it, she finds someone performing some kind of a ritual. Going further down, she finds that it is Gammy,
who calls Margaret to join her. Gammy starts the ritual and Margaret follows
her but soon gets too into it. At this time, Andrew walking by finds Margaret
dancing like crazy along with Gammy. He tells her that her phone arrived and asks
her to join him to go to town. They visit the store sometime later and she
gets her phone. Then, she wants to use a computer and Andrew
finds her an ancient internet café and seeing Gertrude outside, he leaves to talk with her. Margaret notices them and feels bad for him. As they return Grace and Gammy come looking
for Margaret and takes her away. Gammy hands her the family wedding dress and
checks the measurements for the big day. Grace asks if they could visit them in New
York for the holidays but Margaret says that she would love to come here instead. Hearing this, Grace tears up and following
this, Gammy hands her the family gem that’s been handed down for more than 150 years. Margaret feels bad about cheating them but
she doesn’t have the courage to come clean. After business is done, Margaret heads out
to find Andrew in the boat, she hops in and takes the wheel and rides away. Andrew is perplexed to find her act that way
and she tells him that she forgot what it’s like to have a family since she was sixteen. She freaks out thinking of what would happen
if his family found out. Andrew takes the wheel only for her to fall
off when he makes a turn. He realises only a little later and heads
back to save her. When they return home, Joe takes them inside
the barn and they find Gilbertson waiting there. Gilbertson gives Andrew his final chance to
come clean but Andrew still holds their story and leaves the place inviting him for the
wedding the next day. After they reach the room, Margaret asks one
last time if he still thinks it is right for him to cheat his family and he tells she would
do the same for him. Soon Gammy comes looking for Andrew to leave
Margaret alone for the night and takes away the baby making blanket. The next day, the family is assembled in the
barn and Margaret walks down the aisle joined by Gammy. Ramone acts as their officiant and as he begins
his address, Margaret interrupts him. She turns around to confess the truth behind
the wedding. She starts with how wonderful Andrew is and
with how hard he worked she threatened him with ruining his career and forced him to
marry her and lie to his family. She apologizes since it is not easy to ruin
someone after finding how wonderful they are and leaves the place leaving everyone speechless. Gammy and Grace question Andrew but he goes
after Margaret to find her gone with a farewell letter for him. As he reads it, Gertrude comes looking for
him and advises him to go after Margaret who is now on her way back to New York along with
Gilbertson. Andrew heads out planning to go after Margaret
but Joe stops him and Gammy has a heart attack. She is evacuated on a plane as the family
watches and on the plane, she leaves her last words for Andrew and Joe and gets back up
to let them know it was the only way she knew to take them to the airport. She forces the pilot to change course but
as they land the plane Margaret is on takes off. Gammy and Grace feel bad and let Joe know
that Andrew and Margaret actually loved each other but haven’t conveyed their feelings. Back in New York, Margaret is packing up her
office. She takes care of her stuff alone and as she
walks out; she notices Andrew come looking for her. He starts with how he hated her a few days
ago but during their time back home, he really came to love her. The whole office goes in awe hearing the story
but Margaret feels he is too good for her. But Andrew pushes through with how much he
wants them to be together and kisses her. Later, they meet Gilbertson to inform their
engagement but for real this time and he starts the process where Andrew’s family is interviewed. Andrew and Margaret are questioned however
they get every question wrong. Let me know what you think about this crazy
boss and assistant in the comments. And I will see you again with another story
like this. Until then this is your host from movie movie
recap signing off.
