Quite enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2009)

The proposal is the typical romantic comedy women love with the difference that in this movie the roles are changed, the woman (Sandra Bullock) is the one that falls in love with the man (Ryan Reynolds) at the end. The story about a pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada is kinda predictable and corny and the plot has some holes in it, it isn't very well developed. In The Proposal you can find different types of scenery from the buildings and streets of New York to the amazing and beautiful landscapes of Alaska. The cast of the proposal is very good, Sandra Bullock in a role that fits her very well, her performance was really good and funny, Ryan Reynolds will be loved by all women in his role of Andrew Paxton and as a couple, Bullock and Reynold have a very good chemistry between them. In the supporting roles we have Craig T. Nelson as Ryan Reynold's father, Mary Steenburgen as his mother and Betty White as the grandma all with excellent performances. In conclusion, The Proposal is an entertaining and enjoyable movie more suitable for women than for men
