“The Proposal” – Available On Hulu
Who doesn’t love Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds? In this star-packed film, Bullock portrays a cut-throat businesswoman named Margaret who realizes she is going to be deported to Canada.
So, in an effort to remain in the States, Margaret is forced to propose to her assistant Andrew– played by Ryan Reynolds– in order to obtain citizenship.
