Anyone who didn’t give this movie full marks just plain doesn’t like romantic comedies. Those types shouldn’t bother with rom-coms at all. The rest of you, go see this movie and give some support to women in Hollywood.

How did I love this movie? Let me count the ways. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have fantastic screen chemistry. And for once, we see an older woman and a younger man—hallelujah! A playful reversal of gendered rom-com clichés! Stellar supporting performances! Great clothes and scenery! What more can you ask for? And did I mention naked Ryan Reynolds? Not quite ten dollars’ worth, but enough to leave you with a big smile on your face as you exit the theater.

We first meet Margaret Tate (Bullock) at her office, where there are plenty of funny bits involving her role as feared boss. When she is threatened with deportation, she forces her long-suffering assistant Andrew Paxton (Reynolds) to become her fiancé. There is some great comic give-and-take when the two characters are negotiating the terms of their engagement, as well as when are they are forced to make up details of their relationship for other people.

Bullock and Reynolds really make the movie. Finally, a work-obsessed female character with some subtlety! Bullock makes Margaret believable, vulnerable, and even likable. Perhaps it takes a woman with some real strength (whether it be Bullock, director Anne Fletcher, or both) to realistically portray challenges faced by successful women without descending into “bitch” clichés.

And Ryan Reynolds (as Andrew) could easily challenge Paul Rudd in the hottie/snark-fest category. The amount of sarcasm or barely-controlled anger that Reynolds can express with a single deadpan glance is nothing short of amazing. I’ve always thought he was one of the handsomest funny actors out there, and I’m shocked it took everyone else this long to figure it out. If anyone needed convincing, this role will easily prove his viability as leading man.

When the couple heads to Andrew’s parents’ house in Alaska, we get to see the supporting cast do their stuff. Betty White does her usual great job as eccentric Grandma Annie. And you will definitely see a new side of Oscar Nuñez (mild-mannered Oscar from “The Office”) in his role as Ramone. Denis O’Hare exudes subtle evil as Mr. Gilbertson, the immigration official who pursues the not-so-happy couple. Mary Steenburgen and Craig T. Nelson are solid as Andrew’s folks.

There’s even some suspense. As the “lovers” are suddenly forced to get married in the family barn, we see both members of the couple struggling to decide whether to go through with it. I won’t give the ending away, but suffice to say that there’s enough interest along the way to keep the ride very entertaining.

As for the infamous nude scene? Well, in addition to giving some nice opportunities for ogling Reynolds’ fine body, it’s actually hilarious. And God bless Sandra Bullock for showing off her own lovely and absolutely normal physique. It was really refreshing to see an actress who looked like a real woman.

I’d say this is a movie anyone could love (with the exception of the aforementioned haters). Look, there were men in the theater, and they were laughing too. This gives me new hope for the possibilities of gender-neutral movies. Although, to be fair, I pity any man who has to compete with Ryan Reynolds—or any woman who has to compete with Sandra Bullock.
