Margaret: "Would you please, with cherries on top, marry me?"
Andrew: "Okay. I don't appreciate the sarcasm, but I'll do it. See you at the airport tomorrow."

Tackling any film genre can be tough, but romantic comedies pose a unique challenge. Vital to a rom-com's success is sizzling chemistry between the leads, because an audience has to believe and care about the central co... read more

The proposal is a good recipe for romantic comedy, there is no big novelties, but there are peculiarities in this very funny and interesting movie! Although I am not fan of Bullock, she's a good actress! I haven’t seen nothing extraordinary in the film even in Sandra Bullock. However, even I think her performance through cliché, as compared to other romantic comedies that she has done it, she s... read more

Description: When high-powered book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she’s actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), who she’s tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTY WHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, ... (more)

"The Proposal sets up a great premise but it’s undone by its childish shallowness. Rather than properly developing their love, which is kind of the whole basis of the engaged before love trope, it’s made into insta-love. The lead male literally declares that his deep loathing turned into love because of a single kiss and a few words. They could have made her character be cold and aloof, without her being cruel, insulting and selfish. But that’s what they chose, and then that all’s suppose"

“I saw The Proposal last Saturday with some friends, and all of us were very impressed with the film. Of course the plot is gentle, yet very predictable, and I did feel the writers could have developed Margaret's dominance over Andrew more. Still, it is very well done. One definite plus was the strong performances from Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, Bullock especially gave one of her better performances in years. The two share a real chemistry and some good comic timing that was really refreshing to see. Out of the supporting cast, who all did very solid work Oscar Nunez deserves mention for his hilarious portrayal as the handyman, it is Betty White a delightful and very underrated actress who steals the show as the matriarch who thinks marriage is preachy. The Proposal is further advant” read more
