The Proposal (DVD)

t was only a short time ago that Sandra Bullock was "the" actress to have in your movie, but since the acclaimed movie Crash she has been hard to spot. Returning to the screen in her first blockbuster since Crash, Bullock (and possibly a new nose) reclaims her title as the queen of the romcom kicking Jennifer Aniston to the floor. Nobody puts Sandra in the corner! Margaret Tate (Bullock) is the typical embodiment of Cruella De Ville, the Editor of a publishing house she is viewed by the staff as the wicked witch from the north (the north here being Canada). Margaret makes grown men crumble, her fiery tongue a match for anyone. Andrew Paxton ...  Read the complete review

Awhile back my sister-in-law messaged to say that my husband and I had to see "The Proposal". Then my bestfriend over in Canada said the same. Then my parents up and plan a cruise to Alaska after watching the film (it had been a dream of my dad's for years but still... they went to the film, they booked the trip). Now this is a lot of build up for what looked like a fairly mediocre comedy so I was actually had some trepidations when we finally found a convenient Wednesday to 2for1 it. THE PREMISE Directed by Ann Fletcher and written by Peter Chiarelli is an unabashed romantic comedy. Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is a straight-laced, ...  Read the complete review

I'll admit straight off that I like Sandra Bullock and think that just about anything she's in is worth a watch. Having said that, her films aren't always up there with the classics, but then they're not down with the turkeys either. It certainly felt like a long time since we'd seen her in full rom-com mode, and the cinema trailer for the movie didn't inspire a lot of confidence; I thought she was starting to look her age, and the plot as presented seemed a bit far-fetched. So I went to see it without any high hopes. On that basis, I was pleasantly surprised. Given that most rom-coms have plot lines that you could pull apart with a half-melted plastic ...  Read the complete review

I went recently to see this film with my boyfriend in the cinema and i have to say that i completely loved every single minute of it. I was really annoyed as i had bought one of those huge cinema size Diet Cokes and was bursting to go to the toilet so missed about a minute and a half of it during the middle somewhere. This is the only film that i enjoyed so much that i ran to the toilet and back to my seat incase i missed anything good! If you have never heard of The Proposal, it is an American romantic comedy film that came to our screens in June of this year. It is directed by Anne Fletcher and the running time is 108 minutes long. ...  Read the complete review

The Proposal is - you guessed it- yet another Rom-Com. *sigh* But I never get bored of wanting to watch them! I enjoy the feel good factor, the comedy, the (always) happy endings. But this film lacked something in all three departments. ***Plot*** Sandra Bullock plays Margaret Tate, a successful but mean- think Cruella DeVille!- editor, who is being deported from the US due to lack of visa. She figures the only way she can stay is to marry her assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). Andrew hates her but agrees in order to boost his career- bargaining with her that she must promote him to editor in return. Easy peasy right? Wrong. The ...  Read the complete review
