Description: The Proposal 2016 Movie Synopsis:
Margaret Tate, a demanding and unpopular executive editor-in-chief at a New York publishing company, faces deportation to Canada after violating her work visa terms. To avoid this, she convinces her assistant, Andrew Paxton, to marry her. She warns him that if she’s deported, his career advancements as her assistant will be jeopardized, hindering his dream of becoming an editor. However, their plan is questioned by a U.S. immigration agent, Mr. Gilbertson, who suspects fraud. He informs them that they will be interrogated separately, and if their answers don’t align, Margaret will be permanently deported, while Andrew could face a felony charge, a $250,000 fine, and five years in prison. In exchange for his cooperation, Andrew demands a promotion to editor and the publication of a book he has been advocating.
The pair travels to Andrew’s hometown, Sitka, Alaska, to meet his family. Margaret is introduced to Andrew’s mother, Grace, and his grandmother, Annie, affectionately called “Gammy.” She discovers that the Paxton family is wealthy, as nearly every business in town bears their name. During a welcome party, Andrew confronts his father, Joe, who disapproves of Andrew’s relationship with Margaret, accusing him of using her for career advancement. Despite the tension, Andrew announces their engagement. Margaret also meets Andrew’s ex-girlfriend, Gertrude. The following day, Grace and Annie take Margaret to a local bar for a bachelorette party, where they watch a performance by a well-known but aging exotic dancer.
