Good romantic comedy

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2011)

Recap: Margaret Tate is the chief editor, Andrew's boss in fact, and the office witch. Exactly everyone, Andrew included, hates her for her heartless, ruthless ways and that she puts work above anything else, and expects everyone else to o the same. She does things her own ways, and don't bother listening to anyone else, including the Immigration Agency. So now they're deporting her. To stop that she recruits Andrew to marry her. To fool the immigration agent they go to Andrew's grandmothers birthday, in Sitka Alaska. At first they can barely stand each other, but naturally there is more to each one than first meets the eye.
Comments: A pretty much standard romantic comedy, where the two at first seems to hate each other but in the differences find love. And it works well, and I really liked The Proposal. Not very surprising in the grand scheme, actually it takes most of the standard cliché, but it does have a few quick turns and small surprises.
It got a good cast too. Bullock is a real veteran in the genre, and got solid support from Reynolds, Steenburgen, Nelson and perhaps especially White. They are all proved actors in the genre, and performs their respective roles well. But especially Reynolds and Bullock lack some of the chemistry as a couple, both when fighting and when in love, to really elevate the movie. It looks too much of acting, they don't seem to believe it themselves.
But I did get quite a few laughs out of it, and that's the point isn't it?
