THE PROPOSAL...........Review


The Proposal is a 2009 American romantic comedy film, directed by Anne Fletcher, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock is the shrew, Margaret, a pitiless, high-powered New York book editor first seen multitasking in the midst of her aerobic workout (thus you know she needs to get...loved). Ryan Reynolds is Andrew, her put-upon foil of an executive assistant, a younger man who accepts abuse as a media-industry hazing ritual. And there the two would remain, locked in mutual disdain. Margaret, with her visa expired, faces deportation and makes the snap 
executive decision to marry Andrew in a green-card wedding. It's an offer the underling can't refuse if he wants to keep his job. Okay, he says. But first comes a visit to the groom-to-be's family in Alaska. Amusing complications ensue.
The chemistry between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible. she's lovable both as an uptight careerist in a pencil skirt and stilettos, and as a lonely lady in a flapping plaid bathrobe. Reynold is definitely hot in the film, and the surprising nude scene comes as a comic cherishing treat.
I can watch this film again and again.............
