Summer Movie Tour: The Proposal

There are currently about 5 or 6 movies out that I want to see this summer. Unfortunately, it's been a busy couple of weeks, and let's not forget, the closest movie theater is 20-some miles away. Regardless, Katie picked the movie for this stop on the summer movie tour, and we went to see The Proposal starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.

As you've probably picked up from the trailers/commercials, The Proposal is about a woman who plans to marry her assistant in order to stay in the country (instead of being deported to Canada). Both the expected and unexpected happen along the way, and (nearly) everybody will walk away relatively satisfied with the ending.

My assessment: I enjoyed this movie. I know that I'm walking in dangerous territory by admitting to liking a perceived "chick flick;" however, what's not to love about Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. They make a great on-screen team and have believable chemistry as a couple.

My recommendation: If you are looking for a light-hearted movie to see with you girlfriend/wife, this one is well worth the time. It is quite funny and touching in parts. Relatively predictable, but if that doesn't bother you, then enjoy!

Hopefully, if any of your readers go to see this movie, they won't have the joy of having a woman sit RIGHT BEHIND THEM TALKING THROUGH THE ENTIRE FREAKING MOVIE......grrrrrr

I sat through that whole movie dreaming up ways to turn around and tell that woman to shut her trap. Fortunately for all of us, I am never able to get the nerve up to confront people in public.
