Great Chemistry Between Leads Ruined By Formula

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2012)

The Proposal is a romantic comedy that features Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in the leading roles, with Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, and Craig T. Nelson in supporting roles.It was written by Peter Chiarelli and directed by Anne Fletcher.
The plot centers on a Canadian immigrant named Margaret Tate, who learns that she may face deportation charges because of her expired visa. Determined to retain her position as executive chief, Tate convinces her assistant, Andrew Paxton, to temporarily act as her husband. Initially planning on resuming their lives after Tate resolves her visa issues, they appear to abandon those plans as their relationship intensifies.
It was a standard romantic-comedy fare to one that is entertaining and sure to garner laughs but it was clichéd and formulaic film that has already made many times over.Nevertheless,Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds displayed great chemistry in it.
