The Proposal (2009) - I Have to Pretend to Marry my Boss from Hell? Here Comes the Bribe!

Rating: 9/10 (18 September 2011)

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds star in one of the most perfect romantic comedies ever accomplished. Bullock plays a boss from hell, who pretends to marry her secretary, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, to save herself from being deported. Then, it leads to complete wackiness when they visit Ryan Reynold's family for the fake wedding, and it ends up into hilarious consequences. Now, "The Proposal" is one of the greatest romantic comedies of the year, and Sandra Bullock brings another excellent role of a lifetime that stole the entire show, since her inspirational performance in "The Blind Side". Ryan Reynolds does a pretty good job for his role, and he makes perfect chemistry on screen with Bullock. The perfect romantic comedy ensemble continues with Malin Akerman, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, and the ever-loving, ever-funny Betty White. Every moment in the movie was totally hilarious, I almost fell out of my seat. Some of my favorite moments include Betty White feeling up Sandra Bullock, an accidental naked jump with Sandra and Ryan, Sandra making a groove dance with Betty White, and the hilarious interviews during the end credits. The movie also has a well-written script that really took another comedic level, and it contains worthy dialouge. But more than comedy, the movie struggles through serious romantic drama when they start to realize they are literally in love, when all they are doing is pretending to be in love. The script is top-notch, the cast is excellent, the jokes are deserving and hilarious, the heart of this movie is beautiful, and this is a well-deserved romantic comedy for the ages, and you won't be disappointed with the results of watching a Sandra Bullock flick. Well, maybe not if you saw "All About Steve" (I hear it's bad!). "The Proposal", in my review, "a fun and exciting romantic comedy, with the incredible Sandra Bullock".
