Predictable fun

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2009)

Yes, THE PROPOSAL is predictable from the beginning, but who cares? It's fun seeing how it all comes out. Some good performances (especially Sandra Bullock and Betty White) and scenery help make the 108 mins. of run time go by painlessly. Looks like a few moments were left on the "cutting room floor" as there seems to be some elements and time frame out of sync. Actor Denis O'Hare who plays the immigration officer has a silly role and he overplays it terribly. Not a good actor at all. Spoils the few scenes he's in. For a nice evening with popcorn in hand, THE PROPOSAL fits the ticket. At least there's no foul language, sex scenes, car chases or explosions!!
