The Proposal (I) (2009)
8/10
We need more romantic comedies
16 June 2009
The summer months are reserved for the boys and their violent toys. Let's give the girls something to look at. The best things about the Proposal are the two lead comediennes Sandra Bullock and Bette White, and it's hard to tell who's stealing the movie from who. I give Bette the edge. Sandra is at her best in these familiar, comfortable roles and she's still got that comedic timing. Ryan Reynolds shows his comedy chops too. The story is a cross between The Devil Wears Prada and While you were sleeping; Sandra once again plays a woman who has to pretend she's in love or about to get married to a guy she hardly knows. It works just the same, and she shows a little grown-up toughness in this story. Lots of laughs and the girls will love it, especially at the end; everyone will go "aaaHH" goes "aah" when the two protagonists kiss.
