Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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.

MichaelMRamey Like I said in the headline, I'm not a big RomCom fan, but this does feature actors I am fans of in Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Not to mention the hilarious supportive role Betty White plays. The storyline is a new take on a classic RomCom narrative and both Bullock & Reynolds play off each other well.

tomgillespie2002 From the opening moments of sitcom-inspired office hi-jinks in this plinky-plonky rom-com, the outcome is never in doubt. When we first glimpse our leads - beautiful people Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds - the inevitability of how this film will leave us is cemented even further. There's a set formula to these kinds of movies, and knows well enough just how the target audience it so aggressively pursues wants to be left feeling. The key to a decent rom-com is having a funny script; one that will have you laughing and hoping the mismatched couple will finally realise their love for one another to care about how predictable the whole things is. Anne Fletcher's The Proposal does none of these things, and instead betrays the likability of its leads by having little zip, and keeping them apart for what seems like a large chunk of the movie.Margaret Tate (Bullock) is executive editor-in-chief in a successful New York-based publishing company. She has an icy reputation in the office, and her panicked underlings frequently alert the others of her arrival via group e-mail. Her dedicated but overworked assistant Andrew Paxton (Reyolds) is the only one who tolerates her, and that is because he hopes to win himself a promotion through his loyalty and hard work. Margaret also happens to be Canadian, and after a minor violation of the terms of her work visa, she finds herself facing deportation and without the job she has worked so hard to get. In a panic, she announces that she has been seeing Andrew for the past year and the happy couple are soon to be married, much to Andrew's dismay. Sensing foul play, U.S. immigration agent Mr. Gilbertson (Denis O'Hare) keeps a close watch on them, forcing Margaret to accompany Andrew to a family get-together in Sitka, Alaska.Despite never really convincing as a couple, and neither really having moments of clarity that will help us understand when the script starts to push the two closer together, the two leads are a joy to watch. Bullock is now a legend of the genre, and Reynolds demonstrates the cheeky charisma he wouldn't be allowed to fully embrace until 2016's Deadpool. It's solid proof that the fault lies with the material they're given. Once in Alaska, The Proposal becomes a sickly loop of increasingly bizarre comedy set-pieces, including a moment where Margaret must fend off an eagle attacking the yappy family dog. It's a sea of white, middle-class faces, and the only person of colour seems to be the Hispanic Ramone (Oscar Nunez) who, in a slight racist twist, works just about every job in town from store-owner to stripper. There's also the dull sub-plot involving Andrew's father (Craig T. Nelson), who wants his son to ditch his New York adventure to join the family business, which exists solely to give Andrew something to do away from Margaret. The stars deserve much better.

mYstic_chIc I absolutely adore this movie! Sure, it's the same premise. Boy meets girl. Girl doesn't like boy. Boy will save girl. Girl saw a new light and falls for boy. Boy will do the same. Boy kisses girl. Done. But what made me love this movie is the chemistry of all the actors. From Ryan Reynold's sarcastic humor, to Betty White's blatant humor, from Sandra Bullock's b*tchy facade, to Denis O'Hare's antagonistic character. From Mary Steenbergen's mother-naivete to Craig Nelson's fatherly disappointment. It pulls to ones heartstrings.Sure, it's not relatable. Sure, it's predictable. But this is why movies are made. These type of chick flicks that makes us wish we're like them and wish for a happy ending.By the way, Oscar Nunez as Ramon the strip dancer stole the show! Add Betty White to dance with him - classic!
