Perfect Summer Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2009)

Ever since the trailer came out I was over-excited to see this movie. I simply adore both Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock and wanted to see the chemistry between them on the big screen. And I was NOT disappointed.
I went Saturday night with a friend, expecting it to be like Miss Congeniality or like Definitely, Maybe; acting wise not plot wise. Being a romantic comedy fool, I was on a constant roller coaster of laughs and 'aw' moments.
Both leading actors pull of their rolls perfectly, dipping into their natural talents as well as performing off each other. The chemistry from the very beginning of the bitterness road to the very ending was believable and very entertaining. And the supporting cast was completely on the ball, from the hilarious Betty White to the doting mother, Mary Steenburgen. I did love the IRS agent in the sense of the "bad" guy type figure.
The best part about the movie was the laugh-out-loud scenes and the little moments between Bullock and Reynolds (Especially his facial expressions!). I laughed about 90% of the time, along with the rest of the filled theater. Very few people in that theater walked out disappointed.
If you're expecting some Oscar-Award winning movie, you might want to go see something a little less funny and a tad more serious. And while I know that The Proposal has gotten some flank, I would like to say that it was a feel-good, laugh-out-loud, go home satisfied experience. And I've been harassing everyone from work to the cashiers at Target to run out and watch it. Lord knows I've already seen it twice! It's the perfect summer movie, with absolutely AMAZING actors and actresses! A total worth to go see on a hopping Friday night, rainy Saturday, or a lazy Sunday!
