Synopsis: Margaret Tate is a successful yet hated editor-in-chief in a New York book publishing house. Her assistant Andrew puts up with her because he wants to become an editor one day but she keeps him on a short leash. Margaret is not American, she's Canadian and suddenly she has a problem: Her visa has been invalidated and she's about to be deported. Her only chance is to marry Andrew who unwillingly agrees to the sham. What looked like a simple business proposal in the beginning becomes harder when she meets his actual family...

My Opinion: Sandra Bullock isn't the youngest anymore but I think she's aged very gracefully. I like this movie. It hasn't that much haha-funny moments where you have to laugh out loud but it has a certain charm that makes you smile a lot when you watch it. And just like with Men in Trees it wins much of its comedy elements from a putting a big city girl into nowhere land.
I also watched the alternate ending and I am glad that they didn't use it. The movie ending was certainly better.

I enjoyed this one more for mindless action then the storyline. It has been a while since I seen the first two movies to remember the storyline too well... but it seemed to me not to follow the first two as well as it should. But still... all the action is great. At some point I need to watch the three movies back to back though... just to see how well they follow one another.. or if these films are nothing more then eye candy. At this point I feel like it is the later. But if you can leave your brain at the door you should be able to enjoy this film.

Pete's Pilots, a review by addicted2dvd

Invasion


Pilot
A massive hurricane leaves destruction in its path. Dave is convinced it's left something more: extraterrestrials who arrived in the midst of the chaos.

My Thought
This is a series I bought blind 4 years ago. When I got it I watched about half the set... put it up and never return to it for some reason. Definitely not because it is a bad series. As I remember I got into the show pretty heavy there for a while. This is a good pilot episode... it keeps you interested and in suspense. A good idea for a storyline. I really need to finish off this series some time soon.

My Rating:
