Movie: The Proposal


Starring Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality), Ryan Reynolds (Adventureland), Betty White (Golden Girls) and Mary Steenburgen (Elf). They all compliment each others acting. Bullock and Reynolds have an on-screen chemistry that just makes this film meaningful, relatable and lovable.

It reminds me of a Julia Roberts flick, starting out not even friends, then ending up madly in love, willing to do anything for the other. What a warm feeling.

Reynold's character, shown as meak, weak, and a pushover at the beginning is the likable character. 20 minutes later you're calling him a dick. But what you have to understand (which they didn't do very well of showing), is that appearently Bullock, plays a bitchy boss that nobody likes but everyone fears.

Betty White-Hilarious ! Wonderful choice for this character. She makes the character lovable yet slightly-dumb at the same time. Given the wrong actress her character could have ended up messy.

The movie is available on DVD now.
