The Proposal

The Proposal was a surprisingly funny and great romantic comedy! Even though you think that the previews have given it all away, it hasn't. Once again, I went and saw this movie for my roommate's sake and was surprised when I was the one who was laughing the loudest(okay not that surprised).

Here's a short synopsis just in case you are one of the few that hasn't seen a preview yet. Margaret Tate, played by Sandra Bullock, is an editor-in-chief at a huge publishing company in New York. When her deportation is at stake she black mails her assistant Andrew, played by Ryan Reynolds, into marrying her. What would a romantic comedy be if he didn't agree, of course with a few conditions of his own. When the couple heads up to Alaska to see Andrew's family, the real story starts to unfold.

I am sure you are already predicting what is going to happen next, but if you can stop yourself. You will enjoy this movie more when you just let everything happen before you. The Paxton family is full of great actors that help support the quirky relationship Margaret and Andrew develop. There are amazing one liners from the ever so funny Ryan Reynolds and an almost Lucille Ball feel to Sandra Bullock's high strung, with an undertone of craziness, character.

You may want to wait and redbox this since it will soon be out of theaters, but be sure to put it on your list of movies to see.
