Just what I expected

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Better than i expected ! funny movie . underneath all of it it tells us one word familly is everyithing . protect it at any cost

I missed out Proposal in the theater. A friend made me realized and recommended it while having nice dinner. Movie starts at classical New York working office and continues Alaska's outstanding nature and ends with happy ending in New York. I re-discovered that some feelings need some adventures and time in different context to show up. Knowing somebody more closely requires spending some time together. If Andrew and Margaret they had not had Alaska trip, their hidden feeling each other would have never sprouted and come to light, especially someone like Margaret who suppresses her feelings. I appreciate Andrew's generosity for sake of his friendship, mixed with subordinate obedience, then love, towards Margaret. Fictitious marriage ignited real love. I wonder what this will spark. Thanks again :)

You already know what you are in for when you sit down to watch this movie, and sure enough "The Proposal" does follow the standard guide of how-to-make-a-romantic-comedy. And yes, it follows that blueprint to the letter.The story is about Margaret (played by Sandra Bullock), a disliked and feared editor who is about to be deported from USA as her visa expires. Coming up with an impromptu plan on the fly, she decides to marry her assistant (played by Ryan Reynolds). But there is no love between the two, and just how will a trip to remote Alaska convince the US immigration that the planned marriage is not a hoax just to stay in America.The movie follows the stereotypical hate-turns-to-love recipe and is just oozing with predictability. But it is just sappy and generic enough to be that much entertaining. And the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is quite good.The movie has an impressive cast and supportive cast that includes Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen and Betty White."The Proposal" is definitely one to watch if you like romantic comedy.

The Proposal (2009): Dir: Anne Fletcher / Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White, Malin Akerman: A good proposal for this film is a bomb fire inhabited with several copies. Title refers not just to the act of marriage but also to blackmail. Ryan Reynolds is forced into an engagement to his boss so that she may avoid being deported. Due to being monitored they venture to Alaska where they try to keep the reality of the situation secret. Simple and predictable right up to its revelation climax. Directed by Anne Fletcher backed with a horrible visual image of an eagle snagging a dog. We witness the shame as it flops up and down and Sandra Bullock frailing about foolishly. Reynolds and Bullock wade through predictable drivel including a much publicized nude scene, which makes her look plain desperate for a hit film. Reynolds plays her bitch, to put it bluntly. These movies are designed as opposites attract even though this couple doesn't mix even when they get along. Mary Steenburgen and Betty White play typical annoying family members who speculate and make stupid screenplay assumptions. And Malin Akerman shows up as the ex-girlfriend of the Reynolds character and it is just another obvious plot convention. Bottom line is that this film's reason of being is to jerk us around. One should propose that Hollywood stop producing such drivel. Score: 2 / 10
