The Proposal

I went to the cinema this afternoon with my boyfriend. We saw two movies. One I was expecting great things from and the other, not expecting too much. Surprisingly both were excellent. The first movie we saw was “the taking of pelham 123″ (will review this later). Followed by a romantic comedy – The Proposal.

I expected my boyfriend to be yawning before we were even half way through but he was chuckling like the rest of us in the cinema.

This film is about a power hungry boss who is facing deportation. To escape this she blackmails her secretary to marry her. In order to keep the authorities off her back, Margaret (Bullock) have to make it as real as possible. They head to Andrew’s (Reynold) parents in Alaska. Margaret realises over the weekend what family meant and she actually got her heart back instead of a power hunger. You would typically expect for them to fall in love and get married and live happily ever after, but no.. the twist is that Margaret comes clean at the alter.

Andrew chases Margaret back to new York and takes the power back. Proposes to her in a believable scenario.

Grammy (Betty white from the golden girls), was a realy fun character to watch in this movie.

I would recommend this movie to girls and their girlfriends but also a couple on a date. Its got enough comedy and romance without being overwhelmingly cheesy.

I rate 9/10
