A Romantic, Touching and Fantastic Proposal

Rating: 7/10 (8 October 2009)

So, being a big butch man an' all I don't go for chick flicks... OK, I lie. I watch a load of chick flicks because they are mostly a nice entertaining time passer - I don't watch them for a good story, excellent characters and great acting.
I expect most of them to be simplistic "we don't like each other" to "WE LOVE EACH OTHER". Although this fits the bill of moving from 'bleh' to 'love' it does it in a casual way and a surprisingly believable way.
Bullock and Reynolds had amazing chemistry together. The way the emotions between the two characters visually developed and there wasn't a defining line where they moved from one end to the other like there is in most films. There also wasn't the very usual "OH MY GOD YOU DID THAT THING WE'LL NEVER TALK AGAIN" twist that leads to the "OH MY GOD WE ARE BACK IN LOVE" re-twist. I enjoyed this film in so many ways because the other cast/characters did fantastic jobs as well. Everything was so genuine which is unusual and one major scene brought a few tears to my eyes.
This film really is a fantastic film to watch. I'd recommend it to anybody and everybody unless you're allergic to emotions... Then go back to watching Saw and keep away from this
