An excellent rom-com

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2020)

"The Proposal" (2009) directed by Anne Fletcher and starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is not my type of film genre. But I have to say, this is a well-crafted one within its genre's limits, such as a predictable plot and a forgiving script in terms of delivering a couple of goofy moments.
In spite of all this, I enjoyed the film greatly, viewing it with my wife who wanted me to see it with her. First of, Bullock and Reynolds is a great dynamic duo, and particularly Reynolds was phenomenal in his way of delivering his humour.
I thought that the script, albeit predictable, was intelligent and engaging, and the direction was nothing short of excellent for the genre, with great pacing and wonderful sets and production design.
All in all, highly recommended for casual viewing.
