Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
cricketbat The Proposal is yet another romantic comedy about two people who hate each other at first, but then grow to like each other through a series of wacky/zany/crazy events! And yes, it does have the obligatory rom-com chase scene at the end. This movie does, however, have the added bonus of Ryan Reynolds, who is always entertaining.
digitalbeachbum The movie might be great for those viewers who don't care about quality acting, scripts or directing but for me the movie was unbearable. It was so completely terrible that I couldn't stand the characters or the acting. The script was even worse.
santiagocosme The only reason I would consider watching a movie like this is when I am bored or I am traveling from city to city. Having to travel by bus from Zaragoza to Madrid every week, I had gone through most of the movie on offer on the bus. The proposal seemed the least bad choice. The movie is a comedy, and is full of surreal and nonsensical situations. I am not sure they really make your laugh but they keep you awake. The movie is all about seeing the actors in action. If you like Reynolds and Bullock, you will tolerate this movie. If you don't, it may feel like a very long movie. There's plenty of movies similar around. This one is nothing special. Romantic comedy, with its twists and turns and very little unpredictable moments.
Python Hyena The Proposal (2009): Dir: Anne Fletcher / Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock, Mary Steenburgen, Betty White, Malin Akerman: A good proposal for this film is a bomb fire inhabited with several copies. Title refers not just to the act of marriage but also to blackmail. Ryan Reynolds is forced into an engagement to his boss so that she may avoid being deported. Due to being monitored they venture to Alaska where they try to keep the reality of the situation secret. Simple and predictable right up to its revelation climax. Directed by Anne Fletcher backed with a horrible visual image of an eagle snagging a dog. We witness the shame as it flops up and down and Sandra Bullock frailing about foolishly. Reynolds and Bullock wade through predictable drivel including a much publicized nude scene, which makes her look plain desperate for a hit film. Reynolds plays her bitch, to put it bluntly. These movies are designed as opposites attract even though this couple doesn't mix even when they get along. Mary Steenburgen and Betty White play typical annoying family members who speculate and make stupid screenplay assumptions. And Malin Akerman shows up as the ex-girlfriend of the Reynolds character and it is just another obvious plot convention. Bottom line is that this film's reason of being is to jerk us around. One should propose that Hollywood stop producing such drivel. Score: 2 / 10
