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 (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition + Digital Copy):
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 (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition + Digital Copy) Reviews:
Great romantic comedy! 
2009-12-16 - This is a great romantic comedy... Nice story, fun, great acting. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have good chemistry. All around nice. There are not that many good romantic comedies out there, but I must say that this happens to be a good one. Would definitely watch again..

Funny
2009-12-02 - One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time and for being a chick flick I think most men would really enjoy it.
The Proposal 2 disc worth the extra
2009-11-19 - If you are a fan of the behind the scenes then the 2 disc is for you. This is a very enjoyable movie, one that keeps on giving. The comedic timing of both Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is excellent. And who cannot love Betty White, who remains at the top of the game, not to mention Mary Steenburgen and Craig T Nelson. This is a movie that both the guys and the girls will enjoy. It is a non romance romance and is HILARIOUS.
