The Proposal (2009)

I do expect to get some criticism for the rating I gave this film. It is very difficult to keep all genres of film on the same rating system. A good horror movie, by right, should be able to get a 10/10 and a good comedy should be able to do the same. When Escape from L.A. gets a 5/10 that is basing it against other Action films.

The Proposal has hints of the typical Romantic Comedy, just as an Action film has a chase scene or a horror film has a killer. The difference is that it exceeded in many aspects. Sandra Bullock, in her best film since Crash and Miss Congeniality, did an excellent job playing a role of a mean boss forced to lighten up. Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder) seems to be finding a niche in Romantic Comedies (Definitely, Maybe, Just Friends), and with supporting roles played by Mary Steenburgen (the mom in Step Brothers, Elf, and Four Christmases), Craig T. Nelson ("Coach"), Betty White ("The Golden Girls"), and Oscar Nuñez (Oscar from "The Office") this is a pretty good comedy cast.


Reynolds plays Bullock's assistant and they attempt to scam the government when Bullock's Visa gets denied. Betty White taking Bullock around town and the many roles of Oscar Nuñez keep the laughs coming. This is definitely the best Romantic Comedy I have seen in some time.


Vote: 9/10
