7. The Proposal


The Proposal was one of the only romantic comedies that I enjoy to watch over and over.  Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds were perfect for this movie.  Sandra playing the mean boss in the movie and Ryan playing her assistant was perfect.  The movie was pretty original so I enjoyed that about it, but mostly I liked the comedy aspect of it.  The “foreign dancer” who also is licensed to marry, who is also the butler.  That guy is hilarious throughout the movie.  He even gets pretty much deported at the end of the movie because he isn’t a US citizen.  Basically the premise of the movie is that Sandra is Canadian and her American visa has run up and has to be deported unless she can think of something.  She blackmails Ryan to marry her and quickly.  So that weekend they go to her parents’ house in Alaska.  Throughout their stay in the house funny things happen to both of them but most of all they fall in love.  At the end of the movie Sandra has grown so attached that she can’t stay with the whole act of they are in love and agrees to leave the country.  Ryan gets a flight back to NY where Sandra is basically about to leave and tells her he loves he and says the line “Marry me so I can date you”.  It was all mushy gushy.  The rest of the movie though was quite impressive especially the acting but that is expected with these two very well-known actors/actresses.  Some quotes that I liked were “Do you prefer Margaret or "Satan's Mistress"?” “You can do this, but that would require you to stop snacking on children while they dream” “Fun fact about Andrew number 11: I like Pringles….. They're delicious. All Hostess products. Coke, never Pepsi, and beef jerky.” “What am I allergic to?.... Pine nuts, and the full spectrum of human emotion.”
