“The Proposal,” featuring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, is an exceptional film that will surely be a favorite among romantic comedy fans.
This movie involves bribery between a sophisticated New York book editor, Margaret Tate (Bullock), and her assistant, Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), who, despite everything, loathe one another. Margaret, desperate to save her job, manipulates Andrew into
faking a proposal to avoid the conflict of Margaret being deported back to Canada, her home country. A weekend getaway with
Andrew’s relatives is not a typical vacation for either of them. Deceiving Andrew’s family of their engagement stirs up several surprises and the truth of their relationship unravels.
The filmmakers of this movie achieve an excellent balance between humor and romance, provoking the audience members to laugh out loud. “The Proposal” is not over-the-top predictable like a handful of romantic comedies are. The setting of the movie transitions between the fast-paced New York City to small-town Alaska, where life is experienced differently. Bullock and Reynolds’ roller coaster of a relationship is one that you’ll want to witness for yourself.
“The Proposal” is rated PG-13 for sexual content, brief nudity and language.
