Review: The Proposal
Filed under: Comedy », Romance », New Releases », Disney », Theatrical Reviews », Summer Movies »
I love watching Sandra Bullock, who is enjoyable even in the lamest of films. And sadly, there are so many lame movies starring Bullock, and so few that I would enjoy watching more than once -- Infamous is a rare exception. After I saw Speed, I said that I thought Bullock could be this generation's Carole Lombard, but unfortunately the actress has not yet found her Howard Hawks or Ernst Lubitsch. The Proposal is yet another Bullock-starring formulaic romantic comedy with little to offer except sparkling performances, and not just from Bullock.
Margaret Tate (Bullock) is the terror of the Manhattan publishing office where she's editor-in-chief, and even her charming assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) is scared of her. Her Achilles heel turns out to be that she's ... Canadian, and she's about to be deported for a year due to some visa problems. So Margaret hurriedly declares that she's engaged to Andrew, who's American. You don't have to have seen Green Card to guess the rest of the story.
Watch This: Betty White Talking Dirty with Ryan Reynolds

If there is anything more fantastic than seeing Betty White flip off Ryan Reynolds; I haven't found it. In a nifty new marketing piece for the romantic comedy The Proposal; Sandra Bullock, Reynolds, and Betty White sat down to make a video for Funny or Die, and even at the age of 87, Ms. White proves once again, that she is still one of the best comedians around. Posing as a 'behind-the-scenes' look, both Bullock and White get a chance to terrorize Reynolds to comic effect. But, that's not the only reason to click play, because frankly it isn't often that you get to see someone tell a comedy icon to "suck a hot ****".
Now I have to tell you, I've got nothing against either Bullock or Reynolds, but there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to be lining up to see The Proposal. Romantic comedies usually aren't my thing at the best of times, and this one seemed to be one of those films that was counting on the charm of its two leads to sell tickets; rather than things like, you know, a story -- plus I can't help but think that both of these actors really deserve better than this. But, I give credit where credit is due, and no matter what I may think of The Proposal, one thing is for sure: this is a funny little video. It may even be funnier than the film it's supposed to be promoting...what do you think?
Sandra Bullock Proposes to Ryan Reynolds - 'The Proposal' Trailer
Filed under: Comedy », Romance », Trailers and Clips »
It was only a matter of time before Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock were paired in a romcom. Both have had their fair share of awkward bumbling, and now they get to do it together in The Proposal. Just check out the trailer above.
Yes, this is another Bullock romcom, and it isn't really breaking new ground. However, what's interesting is seeing how Judd Apatow & Co.'s brand of sexual humor is starting to play on the wider stage. In the trailer alone, Sandra gets surprised with morning ...erm... happines courtesy of Reynolds, and later, the two get accidental nude body on nude body klutzyness. But that's not all -- the film also boasts the vixen of the senior citizen set, Betty White, and she definitely makes the most of her sexy humor.
Is a little raunch enough to get you to see this? Or, will The Proposal just come off like your regular romcom fare?
