Very Funny - Bullock and White Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2009)

I generally like the movies that Sandra Bullock has been making over the years, however there have been a few bombs. This is not one of them. In many ways, this is a slightly different version of past scripts of other romantic comedies. What makes it work is Bullock and Betty White. Bullock has once again shown she can play comedy very well and she especially does so with her body language and facial expressions. However, what added to this movie's charm was Betty White, who stole the show at times. Even though she was not always on screen, when she appeared, you noticed her. I may be judged wrong by others, but I hope the Academy seriously considers her for a best supporting nomination for her role come the next Oscars. I have seen other actresses do far less and win, so heads up Academy come January 2010. Two weeks ago I went to see the Hangover and as much as I liked it, this was a far funnier film. Everybody in the audience seemed to be laughing as much as me. Good movie, worth seeing.
