The Proposal

3 out of 5

Comic timing and great physical comedy go a long way in saving a movie! Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock are great at both! Their talent, plus the lovable Betty White made this movie a 3 instead of a bomb! Reynolds' range as an actor never ceases to amaze me. He is a combination of Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey, with the addition of an amazing body and action film chops! It is time for him to do some indie stuff to show off how great a dramatic actor he is! Maybe get a little unpretty!

I find it interesting that some actors are finding a new niche for themselves in these romantic comedies. Mary Steenbergen was in Step Brothers and Craig T. Nelson was in the Family Stone. Honestly, I find them both very forgettable! At least they are getting work.

I don't want to write too much about the highlights of the movie. Funnier to watch than to try to explain!

Predictable and cliched? YES! Utterly enjoyable with some real laugh out loud moments? YES!
