When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family, and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

The Proposal, the Reality - the Disappointment

BigMeUp from , 30th August, 2009

It *sounds* excellent; an Accidental Husband-like tale, but with Bullock's gentle humour and Reynolds' boyish charms. Hmmn. Bullock's gotten there: occasional sightings of scraggy skin around the neck jar; it's no good playing the doe-eyed femme fatale when the face and neck are clearly waving a white flag at Gravity. Problems with the script 1: at no point did I truly believe that either character fell for the other. There simply weren't enough tender moments between the two to be convincing. I'd be surprised to learn that, having worked with one another for three years previously, a man and woman could fall in love simply because they momentarily saw the other naked. Problems with the script 2: an ex-fiancée popped up to add nothing to the story... the `complications` with the father did not improve either character... the rich-kid-trying-to-make-his-way-in-the-world sub plot surely went out with Frank Capra??? No, this was a misfire. It says much (all of it uncomplimentary) of the modern romcom that in spite of all my misgivings, I nevertheless have to give this film 3 stars. Because it really is half a star ahead of the even sorrier competition. Ps. When are we going to get a romcom which doesn't end with one character chasing after the other in a train, or a plane, or a car, or a lift (that's `elevator` to you Americans,) or a motor-bike, or a balloon, or a boat...?

Hilarious!

littleowl from , 9th July, 2009

Sandra Bullock does it again! I loved this movie more than I anticipated. Ok, the storyline was kind of predictable but it's one of the best rom-coms i've seen in a while. Sandra Bullock does not mind making a fool of herself and there were parts in the movie that were just so funny. Do not miss!

A Sandra Bullock Classic

Henspens from , 19th March, 2010

If you like Sandra Bullock you'll love this film. I am a real fan of hers, she's funny and quirky. This is shot in Alaska and for that reason the scenery is fabulous. Its a rom com but I think even a fellow would enjoy it.

Predictable plot beutifully done. As Always Sandra Bullock delivers in this predictable, but charming Rom Com. Very enjoyable, and worth watching.
