The Proposal

An executive assistant (Ryan Reynolds) must marry his "The Devil Wears Prada" boss (Sandra Bullock) to save her from being deported. All romantic comedies are predictable because you know that the two people who can’t stand each other in the beginning will eventual fall in love. However, how you get from the beginning to the end is where you find the entertainment value. This is a hilarious film from start to finish. It’s got a great cast. Reynolds and Bullock are a fun couple to watch. Bullock has great comedic talent and is not afraid to put herself out there as seen in a hysterical nude scene and uproarious dance number. The script has smart dialogue as the "engaged" couple spar for a few rounds each trying to best the other. There is a "fish out of water" element when the couple goes to visit his folks (Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen) and Gammy (Betty White). It is another outstanding chick flick and date movie. Stay through the credits to hear the immigration interview. The only bad thing Alien has to say is that the audience will have to wait another month and a half to see this winner.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "the puppy, the eagle, and the cell phone" stars out of 4.
