The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is a delightfully entertaining movie. Even though the movie is pretty predictable, it is refreshingly funny and romantic.
Sandra & Ryan really are a good match!
A hilarous romantic comedy that will keep everyone laughing!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I get really tired of going to the theater, paying astronomical admission prices, then going home more depressed than I was before I went. Oh wait, I wasn't depressed before I left home.
Regardless, that was not the case with this movie. I actually felt lighter and happier when I left the theater and wonders of all wonders, I was laughing. When this happens, it is an occasion to rejoice; and write a lens!
Be warned though, there is a nude, well mostly nude, scene. However, it was so funny that I forgot to be embarrassed.
The Proposer
Margaret Tate
Sandra Bullock has always been one of my favorite actresses. Not only do I think she is beautiful and witty, she appears to be the type of person I would want for a best friend.if I had read the screenplay first, I never would have pictured Sandra Bullock playing the part of Margaret Tate. Gratefully, I was not on the casting committee because she certainly is the perfect choice.
She is extremely entertaining without being crude, rude or socially unacceptable. Well, maybe she was a bit rude in this movie, but she is still somehow very lovable.
The Proposee
Andrew Paxton
Surprise, surprise, surprise! Ryan Reynolds is truly remarkable!While he has never especially impressed me in the past, I couldn't even tell you what I have seen him in before, he was phenomenal as Andrew Paxton. You absolutely must see this movie! His expressions alone should make this a box office hit.
Nothing less than an Oscar for this performance, and you know I will get to vote, Not!
The Plot
Only a teaser. I won't give the whole movie away
When Margaret Tate learns that she faces being deported due to an expired visa, the manipulative and despised executive declares that she is actually engaged to her unsuspecting assistant, Andrew.Shortly thereafter, Margaret and Andrew find themselves in the Immigration office insisting that they really are in love. In order to prove to the suspicious immigration officer that they are the "real thing", Margaret once again lies and states that they actually have plans to spend the weekend with Andrew's family in Alaska, where they intend to announce their engagement to his family. After being totally caught off guard by this declaration, Andrew decides to make a few demands of his own, starting with a proposal.
Alaska becomes the setting for one comedic episode after another.
At the risk of being redundant, You Simply Must See This Movie!

Reviews
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum"The chemical energy between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible"
The Hollywood Reporter by Kevin Lally
"The situations might be formulaic, but the teamwork of the two leads brings them to sparkling life"
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
"Recycles a plot that was already old when Tracy and Hepburn were trying it out. You see it coming from a great distance away. As it draws closer, you don't duck out of the way, because it is so cheerfully done, you don't mind being hit by it"
Los Angeles Time by Betsy Sharkey
"Just a good old-fashioned romance, one in which people actually bring out the best in one another rather than the worst. How novel is that?"
