The Proposal

The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, was a charming breath of fresh air. The character Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) "please don't call her Maggie"! is a neurotic, workaholic with no personal social life; she is the editor-in-chief of a Publishing Company. Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds)is a loyal assistant to Margaret who he silently hates with a passion. When Margaret was call to a meet at the bosses office, she did not imagine what was waiting for her. She was stun to hear the news that she was being deported back to Canada.

As she was disgusting the news and trying to understand the dilemma. Andrew, looking for her knock on the door to give Margaret her messages. At that moment she concocted a lie that she was secretly engage to her assistant Andrew. Shacking Andrew and unable for him to speak, her boss just advice her to get hitch quickly. Later, Margaret bribed Andrew to go along with the charade by promising him a promotion. Relentedly, he agree. At the licensing department the immigration agent was waiting for them; tip by someone at work. He advice that the penalty for committing fraud was imprisonment for Andrew and a one way trip back to Canada for Margaret. Andrew continue with the plans and declare his love for her. Margaret informed the agent about the plans to see Andrew parents and give them the good news; at Andrew grandma Annie (Betty White) 85th birthday party in Sitka, Alaska. Andrew knew that the deal had change after leaving the office of the agent. He will only continue with the lie if she also publish his novel as well as the promotion to editor. And now the fun begins.

Grace Paxton (Mary Steenburgen) and Joe Paxton (Craig T. Nelson) give a fantastic performance; and the legendary (Betty White) as loveable grandma Annie steals the movie and your heart.

The director Annie Fletcher has a keen eye for romantic comedy, and the writer Pete Chiarelli is in touch with his inner-emotion. This film has a little something for everyone.

I give it 4 1/2 Stars.
