It's just bizarre. I didn't like this movie at all.

What begins with an absorbing struggle over copyright infringement soon descends into an episode of Ghost Hunters with Magid leaving out a plate of Barragán's favorite cookies in case his spirit is hungry.

Rated: 2/5

"The Proposal" makes for a fascinating and not-a-little-morbid piece of artistic trolling.

Rated: 3.5/5
