Casey L @imkclong811 Aug 22 So much laughing. Thankful for their chemistry and sad we didn’t get more of it in other movies. See more Harish N @harish_napa Aug 20 The romantic comedy delivers a thoroughly entertaining and feel good experience that plays on classic genre tropes with immense charm and wit. It follows a high powered book editor facing deportation who forces her young assistant into a fake engagement, leading to a hilariously awkward weekend getaway with his family in Alaska where genuine feelings begin to surface. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds share sensational comedic chemistry, firing off sharp banter, physical comedy, and subtle vulnerability with total ease. Their natural back and forth makes the transition from workplace tension to genuine attraction feel completely enjoyable, while Betty White delivers an iconic, laugh out loud supporting turn that steals every scene she is in. While the plot follows a familiar, predictable formula and you know exactly where the story is headed, the hilarious comedic timing, breezy pacing, and heart make it a delightful, comforting watch that leaves you smiling throughout.

I liked Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, but overall it was just an okay movie for me. See more @RT08771473 Aug 6 The Proposal is a 2009 American chick flick comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It's one of those comedies I decided to watch because so many people recommended it, but honestly, I don't think I'll ever come back to it. The dialogue tries to be funny, but most of the jokes didn't work for me. Even though Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds have good on-screen chemistry, I felt that it wasn't enough to save the movie. The film also attempts to explore the relationship between parents and their children, but this storyline isn't developed deeply enough. There are a few entertaining moments, but they aren't memorable enough to make the film stand out. Betty White (RIP) is probably the best part of the movie, and she brings a lot of charm to every scene she's in, but even her performance couldn't make the overall experience much better. Overall, The Proposal is an average romantic comedy. It has a few enjoyable moments, but they aren't enough to make me recommend it. See more Jagdpanzer T @RT44446946 Jul 14 As a romcom The Proposal is a bit of a missed opportunity. The premise, the setting, the leads, etc. are all good but there's a few things that really hurt the film as a whole. The first and most obvious one is the overutilization of Betty White. No one is watching this movie to see her hog all the screen time. Literally every time the leads start advancing their relationship in a satisfying way out pops Betty White to ham it up with the same tiresome "old lady without a filter" schtick that we've all seen a thousand times before. As a result the relationship between the main characters ends up feeling rushed and even a little forced by the end. This is especially disappointing since their chemistry is actually pretty good. Other things that hurt the movie (much in the same way) are pointless scenes like the male stripper scene or the ones that touched on the strained father and son relationship which really added nothing to the story. Worth a watch, but could have been better. See more The W @wizardmate Jul 2 Typical rom film, and as it also have good casting, it was very enjoyable and funny movie See more Read all reviews
