Surprisingly good, fun and actually really funny in places

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2009)

Not as bad as I'd thought it would be. I don't do romantic comedies at all, but actually The Proposal isn't all that bad. Yes it's predictable, unbelievable and quite sickening at times but actually it's quite funny too. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have great chemistry together and share some really funny scenes. So it's not the most intelligent or impressive of films but it does what it sets out to and is laugh-out-loud funny in places. Maybe it could do with being just a touch shorter, but there are some quite funny characters to keep you laughing right up until the end (which is very predictable, but who cares?) Very enjoyable.
