Sandra Bullock is getting a little too old to play the ingenue role, but she carries off her part as a Dragon Lady editor for a large publishing firm. Bullock’s character is about to be deported unless she can become a U.S. citizen through a quickie marriage to her administrative assistant, played by Ryan Reynolds. Of course, plenty of screwball romantic entanglements test our couple. Betty White shows she still can inject humor into a tired plot with her role as a 90-year old grandmother of the groom. The Proposal was not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it was mildly entertaining. GRADE: B
Wife drag you to this?
It is with relief that I read this review since I just persuaded Phil to see it tonight. Sometimes you need something without guns, politics or animation.
Everything is negotiable, Drongo.
I was pleasantly surprised by THE PROPOSAL, Patti. You and Phil will enjoy it.
Good answer, George.
And we did. They had chemistry, a rare commodity nowadays. And the plot clunked along behind them.
Glad you enjoyed THE PROPOSAL as much as Diane and I did, Patti. You’re right: Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds did have that rare movie chemistry.
