Summary of the Proposal

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2011)

The proposal was one of the better romantic comedies I've seen. Sandra Bullock can pull off any role imaginable. Ryan Reynolds has always proved to be very humorous and the two actors were a very good match for this film. Sandra Bullock plays the harsh boss of an editing firm while Ryan Reynolds plays the "bitch" secretary.
Sandra Learns that she is being deported back to Canada therefore won't be able to work for a US company anymore. Thus, she gets the idea to be "engaged" to Ryan Reynolds so that she can remain in the country. Since she threatened his career, he agreed to marry her so that she could become a citizen of the US and then quickly get a divorce.
The comedy in this movie is so much better than some of the films the two have been in such as "Just Friends" (Ryan Reynolds) and "All About Steve" (Sandra Bullock). Betty White is also in this movie and plays the sweet and dim-witted grandmother which truly adds to the movie. Also the fact that the two travel to Alaska for the weekend provides the movie with beautiful scenery and even a tad bit of action. It is a must see "chick flick" and perfect for a date night.
