A book editor, Magaret Tate, plans to marry her assistance to keep herself from being deported.

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2009)

A four star rated movie, "The Proposal", is a movie for both parents and kids. The genre of this movie is comedy and romance and is rated PG13. I recently saw "The Proposal" and I give it thumbs up. Before I saw this movie I thought it was going to be a romantic chick flick with a little humor, but there is a lot of humorous parts in this movie. I recommend this movie to any person who needs a good laugh.
A big time New York book editor, Margaret Tate, is told she is being deported back to her native land of Canada. She quickly thinks of a plan to marry her assistant, Andrew Paxton, so she can keep her status in the United States. Margaret quickly finds out that there is something missing in her life that she found in Andrew's. Andrew takes Margaret to Sitka, Alaska to go to this grandma's 90th birthday and she meets his family. Andrew still has relationship problems with his father and an old high school sweetheart comes back to his life. Towards the end of the movie Andrew and Margaret almost get married, but Margaret tells his family the truth about the scam. She then goes back to New York to pack her belongings and Andrew shows up telling her how he really feels about her. In the end, they finally get married and for the right reason.
I watched this movie with a few friends and they were laughing the entire time. I believe that this movie does meet viewers' expectations because with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds the movie is hilarious but romantic at the same time. "The Proposal" is a little unrealistic because of the scenery with the big house and the small town, but when you need to get away from reality and relax a little just watch this movie.
