Editorial Review:
Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) terrorizes her publishing house co-workers with her abrasive, take-no-prisoners management style, especially her overworked assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds). But when Margaret is threatened with deportation to her native Canada because of an immigration technicality, the quick-thinking exec announces that she and Andrew are engaged to be married. Ambitious Andrew agrees to go along with her scheme—if there’s a long-awaited promotion in it for him. Everything is going according to Margaret’s plan, until an overzealous immigration official makes it his business to prove that the couple’s engagement is bogus. To demonstrate her commitment to her new fiancé, Margaret agrees to celebrate the 90th birthday of his colorful grandmother (Betty White) — in Alaska. The editrix’s type-A ways put her at odds with her eccentric future in-laws with hilarious consequences, until the Paxtons teach Margaret a thing or two about family.

Description of The Proposal [Blu-ray]:
Rom-com favorite Sandra Bullock and the affably charming Ryan Reynolds’s superb chemistry turn The Proposal from otherwise standard romantic-comedy fare to one that is entertaining and sure to garner laughs. Margaret (Sandra Bullock) is a workaholic, tyrannical book editor (reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada) who suddenly finds her career in jeopardy as she faces deportation back to Canada. Her solution is to simply fake an engagement to her unsuspecting assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who in turn blackmails her for a promotion. However, when Margaret is forced to head to Alaska with Andrew to visit his family in an effort to make their story believable to the deportation officers, they soon realize that their plan may not be so simple after all. The supporting cast of Dad (Craig T. Nelson), Mom (Mary Steenburgen), and kooky Grandma (Betty White, still a scene-stealer at 87) is great casting that makes for many amusing scenes. Bottom line: witty Reynolds and Bullock are perfect sparring partners for each other and not half bad to look at either. --Lisanne Chastain

The Proposal [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Charming Little Flick
2009-12-14 - Sandra Bullock is a fairly decent actress and it shows well in this movie. She comes close to playing a dominant boss but not quite the same as some of the critters I worked for from an earlier life. Her assistant is a real flunky and needed little help commanding his role. The development of the story was easy and smooth and not exactly easy to predetermine the outcome. The scenery is just plain fantastic and I would love to live in a community such as that one. It is so nice to sit down for a few frames and watch a movie that does not make you think too much or contain too much violence et al. This is just a friendly movie that most adults could enjoy.

One item that stressed my humble mind is attempting to ascertain the difference between Blu-ray (BD) and regular DVD disks. Some suggest that Blu-ray provides a picture and sound that is 6 times better than regular DVD. That is an exageration of at least 4 to 5. Maybe the old eyes and ears cannot tell the difference. Maybe regular will suffice for home theaters.

Likeable Sandra Bullock movie.
2009-12-09 - If you liked her attempt at deception in While You Were Sleeping you'll like her in this. Ms. Bullock is, I think, endearing when she is 'bubbling over' and this role is somewhat of a contrast for her in this regard. As such, it has very little of the girly charm found in many of her earlier movies. I think, and my wife agrees, it is still an entertaining romantic comedy as only Sandra Bullock can accomplish. As a final criteria for purchase; I did buy this movie, but I think my money would have been better spent on a one time rental or even better, waiting for it to come to one of the movie channels.

So Funny
2009-12-09 - This is such a funny movie! Not the best for children, but really great for adults!

Very funny!!
2009-12-09 - Sandra is amazing and very fun girl. I like Sandra she`s a great actriss in US. ,maybe the best!!.

give this one a try before you decide
2009-12-05 - Lately, I have not seen many romantic comedies that were worth buying so I rented this one first after a friend said that she laughed all the way through it. What a surprise! Sandra Bullock (who is one of my favorites anyway) is wonderful as the lead, perfect as a bitch, believable as she melts into a real person. Ryan Reynolds holds his own as the leading man, which few of her leading men manage to do. The supporting cast is a dream team of actors, especially Betty White who plays her character to perfection. The directing is fast paced, with little time lost wandering around waiting for something to happen. I loved it. I bought it.
