Product Description
TouchStone The Proposal (Blu-ray)THE PROPOSAL could have been a strictly script-by-numbers affair, but hilarious performances by Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds improve this romantic comedy. Publishing powerhouse Margaret Tate (Bullock, TWO WEEKS NOTICE) is used to getting her way. She bullies her ambitious assistant, Andrew Paxton (Reynolds, DEFINITELY,MAYBE), earning the ire of all the underlings at Colden Books in New York City. But Margaret, a native Canadian, finds her career in jeopardy when she is denied a visa and learns she will be sent northward. She forces Andrew to become her fiancé, but she?ll have to take a trip home to Alaska with him to prove to U.S. Immigration that their impending union is genuine.

Rom-com favorite Sandra Bullock and the affably charming Ryan Reynolds’s superb chemistry turn The Proposal from otherwise standard romantic-comedy fare to one that is entertaining and sure to garner laughs. Margaret (Sandra Bullock) is a workaholic, tyrannical book editor (reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada) who suddenly finds her career in jeopardy as she faces deportation back to Canada. Her solution is to simply fake an engagement to her unsuspecting assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who in turn blackmails her for a promotion. However, when Margaret is forced to head to Alaska with Andrew to visit his family in an effort to make their story believable to the deportation officers, they soon realize that their plan may not be so simple after all. The supporting cast of Dad (Craig T. Nelson), Mom (Mary Steenburgen), and kooky Grandma (Betty White, still a scene-stealer at 87) is great casting that makes for many amusing scenes. Bottom line: witty Reynolds and Bullock are perfect sparring partners for each other and not half bad to look at either. --Lisanne Chastain

5 out of 5 stars Funny & Entertaining   November 21, 2009
Big-D (Lake Havasu City, AZ United States)
Sandra Bullock is a great actress and she really knows what she is doing. I have respect for her movies and her business savvy. I loved the location of the filming. The Proposal is very esay to watch and relate to, for both men & women. Lots of funny parts and could be viewed as somewhat educational if viewed between the lines.

I enjoyed the movie quite well. But I am an avid Sandra Bullock fan, so I guess I'm a bit biased.

Very funny. Sandra and Ryan make an awesome pair! Loved Betty White as the sneak, straight talking grandmother.


5 out of 5 stars One of my new absolute favorites . . .   November 6, 2009

I laughed so much watching this movie! Sandra Bullock is terrific, funny and adorable. Her character is an "evil" boss of a major New York publishing firm. When she finds she is being deported back to Canada she decides to force her assistant into marrying her so that she can stay in America. This ensemble group works well together and makes the story believable. Betty White is a wonder - she made me cry. But, I must own this movie for those days when I need a laugh - there are plenty here.


5 out of 5 stars Formula, yet the actors and dialog make the movie   November 5, 2009

Margaret Tate, "Satan's mistress" (Sandra Bullock), is a high powered publisher and Canadian citizen. She finds due to a few faux pas, she is about to be deported. So she bullies her executive assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) into marriage, thus "The Proposal". However the tide may have turned when she sees his home and family.

Many people think Grandma Annie (Betty White) makes the movie with her dry one-liners and attitude. And a lot of Betty white the actor shows through Grandma Annie the character.

The movie mostly takes place in a mock up of what Sitka Alaska should look like. It makes you want to go there. One of my favorite scenes is when Margaret is warned not to let the puppy outside or the eagles will snatch it.

Be sure to listen to the voice over commentary. Most voice over commentaries are dry dissertations from film historians or drunks that do not remember the movie. This commentary however is quite interesting and informative.

Also be sure to watch the alternate ending.

Again Blu-ray is just Blu-ray so I will not bore you with the details.

Catherine Wienckowski (northport NY)
I love Sandra Bullock, and most of her movies. This movie was not that good. Beautiful location, beautiful people,
etc... BUT there was no spark between the two leads. It just did not work. I fell asleep, rewound, and fell asleep
again. Sandra you need more serious roles, you are getting to old for the cutesy girl roles.
