The perfect example of a film that starts off well, and then descends into unimaginable awfulness very, very quickly.
There's a quote from The Big Lebowski that sums this up well: "The goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain!"
Bloody trainwreck...

This is a horribly predictable rom-com (especially as I've seen it before), and I don't particularly enjoy the acting of Ryan Reynolds or Sandra Bullock, but it was on TV last night after the recorded film I was watching had finished, and it kind of sucked me in so much that I even recorded the end to watch today. The Proposal's one saving grace is that it is really rather funny - the romantic bits (otherwise known as pretty much the whole plot) were unconvincing, but the comedy bits worked.
Now I'm going to pretend that my Letterboxd account has been hacked by one of my imaginary teenage daughters and blame her for this dreadful lapse in my film-watching judgement... -
The second film I've watched this week about the contrived, comedic problems of affluent people. Sigh.

I didn't fancy the movie, but since I love both of the main characters (Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds) it's not that much of a waste.

Never ever EVER giving this another watch though. -
Watched it with one of my best friends and my mum, on seperate occasions. Both times I really enjoyed it.

I found it quite entertaining and funny. Good chemistry. And the dog!!

Sick at home and this was on cable. Saw it back when it was in theatres and remains a pretty entertaining movie. Nothing great by any means, but kept me engaged.

Learned: If you're a woman and you want to work you're probably a bitch. Betty White has still got it.

Una de las comedias románticas mejor conseguidas de los últimos años. ES de verdad una rom-com que no pierde el humor pasado el primer tercio de la película. Divertida y con una gran química entre sus dos protagonistas. Lo que pretende lo cumple con creces. Sandy, we love you.

Típica comedia romántica al uso, nada más que añadir. Una "SandraBulladak" y, como tal, se deja ver bastante bien.

5th time watching it apparently.
It's just a really nice film.
As I've said in my profile my rating is within the genre and I find this to be a very good romantic comedy. The lead actors work well together and I like both of them. And well, Betty White always brings awesomeness to whatever she does.Bu yeah. It's a sweet movie that's easy to watch and makes me giggle.

Where is Blake Lively hiding Ryan Reynolds?
