Engaged

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2009)

Sandra Bullock, mid forties, and Ryan Reynolds, mid thirties, play the main roles in this romantic comedy. But the age of our "couple" isn't an issue throughout the movie. Which is a testament to Sandra and Ryan, because they pull it off.
Of course this isn't the best romantic comedy ever, but the two have a good chemistry and play really well off each other. Sandra seems to really enjoy her role. Ryan is great when he get's a few good lines here and there. His comedic timing is good, the romantic aspect is working too, but as well. Quirky characters and a really bizarre scene in the forest (a scene that might leave some viewers completely baffled) add to the special flavour. Although the latter mentioned scene could almost have been a big downfall of the movie, Sandra somehow pulls it off (not completely, but enough for the movie to still work).
If you're not bothered by the whole premise of the movie, than you might enjoy it. I did ... and when the credits roll, we get some "extra footage".
