I do not like the contemporary romantic comedies. "The Proposal" is not an exception. but it is not the worse film of genre. for three basic virtues - Betty White, the beautiful bride dress and for the reference to the importance of family. Sandra Bullock is the same like in each romance she made. Reynolds gives a decent character. but he does that in each occasion. the story is same salad of humor and romance. nothing new. but nice. maybe, if Canada was Mexico, the story sounds better.
... View MoreI was most unfortunate to watch this terrible 'romantic comedy'. The plot is just non existent.Really a pain to watch. It started out well with Sandra Bullock playing a career minded female editor and Ryan Reynolds playing her assistant. The first 10 minutes of the movie show promises but it goes downhill after they decided to go to Alaska to celebrate Ryan Reynold's grandmother's birthday. The whole plot doesn't make sense at all. Why should Sandra Bullock follow Ryan Reynolds back to Alaska? who are they trying to convince they are a couple? The romantic plot between the 2 leads are non existent. They hated each other at the beginning of the movie and without any explanation they were deeply in love in the last 10 minutes of the movie. Whoever gave this movie a positive review especially a 10 clearly has a mentality of a child.
... View MoreI 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 :)
... View MoreThis movie surprised me, I have to say. While I did expect to be entertained, I did not expect to find a new favorite movie. What started out as watching it since my friend yelled at me, turned into me loving every moment of the movie. With characters that are both attractive in personality and looks, this movie stays on the track of the plot-line and has loads of character development. Each scene is planned carefully, and chemistry between the two is seen at the very start. The movie is in no way slow, and compliments it's attributes quite nicely. There was no moments where I believe the movie fell short. Their comedic scenes definitely cracked me up, which is very tough to do. Overall, I loved this movie, and I think it was done very nicely. I found myself watching a couple scenes over and over.
