The Proposal 2

Plot Summary: From Fake Marriage to Real Problems

Set over a decade after the first film, Margaret Tate (Bullock) and Andrew Paxton (Reynolds) are now happily married and living in New York. Margaret has retired from the publishing world, while Andrew has become a successful author — but their peaceful life takes a wild turn when Andrew is offered a prestigious position… in Tokyo.

As they prepare for the big international move, unexpected news strikes: Margaret is suddenly facing deportation again, this time due to a bureaucratic loophole from her original visa status. To stay together, the couple must return to the town of Sitka, Alaska — where it all began — to prove their marriage is still valid and genuine.

What follows is a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud journey filled with meddling relatives, old flames, immigration officers, and plenty of misunderstandings.
