The Proposal was the best romantic comedy that I have seen in quite awhile. I don’t watch too many movies these days. With the two boys and work, it seems that the only movies I see are Bob the Builder or Thomas the Tank Engine. I watched this movie in pieces over a period of several days. It is always fantastic when you take the time to watch a movie and it is vastly entertaining.Margaret (Sandra Bullock) is an uptight editor similar to many uptight editors we’ve seen in books and movies in recent years. Her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) dreams of being an editor in his own right or a novelist, but is stuck fetching Margaret’s coffee. Suddenly facing deportation to Canada and the loss of her job, Margaret forces Andrew to marry her to get a green card. Andrew takes Margaret back to his hometown in Alaska to meet his family and much hilarity ensues.
I really loved how the gender roles were reversed in this movie. Margaret was the boss and Andrew was her personal assistant. I think my favorite character was Andrew’s grandmother, Gammy (Betty White). She was hilarious. I also loved how Ramone (played by Oscar Nunez from The Office) worked everywhere in the Alaskan town.
Overall, it was a good romantic comedy and well worth watching. I liked Margaret’s character development throughout the movie and Andrew Paxton was good to look at!
I really liked this movie too. Especially dancing in the forest LOL :) I put it on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteTBH, it's kind of nice to watch a romantic comedy every so often that doesn't include sex.
LOL Bob and Thomas have quite a following at my house as well.
Now I want to see The Proposal! Tonight, though, we're going to a mi∂night showing of New Moon>.
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds good. Sandra Bullock has really come into her own and she is everywhere these days!
ReplyDeleteI also loved this movie! The dog scene-- awesome!
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie. I thought it was more comedy than romance, which is probably why my husband laughed as much as I did! Betty White was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI loved Gammy! Betty White is sooo funny. And that scene with the dog was hilarious as was the strip scene!
ReplyDeleteThis movie was hilarious! I don't watch too much t.v. anymore (nothing on) and use Netflix for my movies, but I have really been enjoying the Hallmark channel's evening romance movies over the past few weeks. It doesn't matter to me that the plot is predictable -- girl is with a safe, predictable guy when a really great, fun man comes along. I love it when the guy runs back after the girl in the end -- only in the movies.
