Sandra Bullock is at her funniest in the fresh, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy The Proposal. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she's engaged to her unsuspecting, put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). After proposing a few demands of his own, the mismatched couple heads to Alaska, where they have four short... (Amazon Prime UK)

The Proposal perfectly exploits the potential of a formulaic, family-friendly Hollywood romantic story with irresistibly likable actors and a dog in the garden. It is a great example of a perfect commercial product / drastically limited possibilities of any filmmaking creativity. I like both Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, but this was a bit painful. Why don’t the filmmakers of the 21st century copy the formula of Love Actually instead?

A fairly successful comedy that I watched shortly after The Ugly Truth. I was quite pleasantly surprised that Sandra Bullock can act well, be funny, and doesn't mind that she’s acting in the romantic genre. By the way, this is exactly the type of film where Ryan Reynolds fits perfectly. Some scenes were excellent, but not much of the film stayed with me.

This is a classical romantic comedy with which it doesn’t even matter what Hollywood stars play the lead roles of the two opposites. It would work out fine every time. Nevertheless, Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds did a good job and turned the film into a pleasant comedy that will provide you with a good time chilling on your couch.

After many silly and embarrassing American comedies, finally something classy comes along. Something that has quite a plot, a great cast (especially the actresses, with a great Sandra Bullock and and even better Betty White) and doesn't rely on infantilism and nastiness. There were lines and moments that made me laugh, unlike many other American comedies. So there you go! The film is worth watching and considering it's a comedy, I give it a 7.5 out of 10, mainly because of Betty, Sandra, the dog and Alaska.

An absolutely simple, predictable comedy which will let you take time off thinking too much. Anyone who has seen at least two romantic films will know how the story will turn out right from the start, and yet I had a great time watching. Nevertheless, the grandma got on my nerves and after the bike ride, the play on emotions kicked into overdrive.
