Proposing Proposal

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2009)

The Proposal has Sandra Bullock (Margret) has the laugh without the grunt and as the subtler version of Miranda Pristley from Devil wears Prada. Ryan Reynolds (Andrew), last seen in Wolverine, now he is the boss's (Sandra Bullock) assistant/executive. Some how Margret puts it together that Andrew and they are getting married, to save Margret from getting deported to Canada.
That's the proposal, what happens next in the movie is actually quiet predictable, but i like the way the story unfolds in the beautiful Sitca, Alaska. Even though they are not trying to be funny, but the whole situation and they land themselves into is awkward a first, funny for all of us. Since it is specially based in Alaska, it just seems to be perfect setting for a fantasy and romantic world. But none the less, the timing of the dialogues between Andrew and Margret are comical and well written.
Betty White who plays Andrew's eccentric, but loving grandmother takes the cake, specially with her dancing in the middle of the woods, or dancing with the stripper. She is purely brilliant and has her own extreme ways of resolving conflicts, which is hilarious. There is also Andrew's parents who underplayed in the movie. There is Andrew's story is comfortably on the not highlighted.
Its worth the watch, at the end of the day, its a nice "chick flick".
