"THE PROPOSAL": PREDICTABLE BUT WORTH WATCHING

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 20 '09
Pros: Bullock, Reynolds, Betty White, a funny script and beautiful scenery
Cons: Predictable
I really didn't expect much when I went to see "The Proposal".  I'd read a luke-warm review and the trailer didn't overwhelm me.  However, after seeing one of the worst movies of the decade the day before ("Year One"), I needed a few ...

The Proposal (Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds) : I say "Yes"

by ladyconsumer ladyconsumer is a Lead on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 16 '09
Pros: Bullock, Reynolds, Betty White, and an adorable little doggie.
Cons: No real surprises here.
It's cute.  I laughed a few times.  I rooted for the couple to get together.  And I pretty much knew everything that was going to happen, before it happened.  Yup, it's predictable.  But it's cute.I'm talking about The ...

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds Are Naked Together in The Proposal

by dragonfire88 dragonfire88 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jul 05 '09
Pros: Funny, entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Predictable at times.
I have seen and enjoyed several of Sandra Bullock's movies.  She has been in a few different types of movies, but I tend to enjoy her comedies the most.  I've been interested in seeing The Proposal since I first saw a trailer for ...

The Proposal Shines a Light on Alaskan Wilderness and Family Togetherness

by bilbopooh bilbopooh is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 29 '09
Pros: very sweet, emphasis on family, chemistry between Bullock and Reynolds, scenery
Cons: some suggestive stuff, an overlong strip tease
My friend Libbie and I have a mixed track record when it comes to Sandra Bullock movies. On the one hand, Miss Congeniality was one of the first movies we saw together in the theater, and ...

by Goatius Goatius is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Jul 01 '09
Pros: Bullock and Reynolds are a fine comic pair, some funny moments
Cons: Largely forgettable and nothing special, awkward unfunny characters
Still in the afterglow of the wild interactive cinematic experience The Room the night before, the idea of going to see the summer's typical romantic comedy The Proposal this past ...

The Proposal- Reynolds Needs More Personality

by lyoness913, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 22 '09
Pros: Betty White, some funny moments
Cons: Way predictable, some laughs fall flat
Hubby and I went to see The Proposal this past weekend on Father's Day.  We both really like Ryan Reynolds and we certainly enjoyed his performance in Definitely, Maybe.  Because I am from Canada and I am having all kinds of ...

The Proposal? More Like The Contrivance!

by chad8246 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 06 '09
Pros: Ryan Reynolds can be funny at times
Cons: Predictable, contrived, uncomfortable at times and not very funny
OK, I first must admit that The Proposal is not a movie that aims for me as its target audience. I am a 35 year old male who certainly doesn't seek out romantic comedies on a regular basis. But, when your girlfriend starts making demands, ...

The Proposal (2009): A Bittersweet Proposition You'll Enjoy

by Ed.Williamson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jun 30 '09
Pros: Fun stuff.
Cons: Loses a bit of momentum in places.
It is always refreshing to see a new twist in the genre of the romantic comedy film, even if there are resonances from other similar films, and that is what you get in The Proposal, written by Pete Chiarelli and directed by Anne Fletcher, whose ...

Exceeded my expecations by a fair amount. See it!

by rmurray847 , Jun 24 '09
Pros: Reynolds actually gives a funny performance, and  Bullock gets her groove back too.  Betty White!
Cons: VERY predictable plotting.  Waste of Mary Steenburgen.
I am not a big Ryan Reynolds fan.  Prior to THE PROPOSAL, I  had never seen anything he’d done before that left any kind of impression on me.  My wife was the same way…”have we seen him in anything before?”  ...

Ahoy, there be SPOILERS ahead!!! This was the second part of my movie double header last weekend. I had been looking forward to this movie because I love Sandra Bullock and I love Ryan Reynolds, although I had my reservations about the two of them ...

The Proposal the right romcom for the summer

by lli_wright , Jun 16 '09
Pros: All the actors are at their comedic best.
Cons: The storyline is familiar, the ending is predictable.
Sandra Bullock is at it again, pretending to be in love with someone she's not.  If you recall we met Bullock in While you Were sleeping as the fiancé of a comatose man who was really in love with his gorgeous brother.    One ...

Strong Beginning, Predictible Middle, Weak Ending

by paxromana , Jul 22 '09
Pros: The first 30 minutes
Cons: The rest of the 60 minutes
How did you guess that this is a romantic comedy?  Is it the poster, where Sandra Bullock holds the ring before a terrified Ryan Reynolds?  Is it the fact that it is a non-action film released in summer?  Or is it the title?  Well, ...

Pros: relatable, funny, entertaining, and down right a must see movie
Cons: inappropriate scene between Bullock and Reynolds
      I went to the theater to see The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock for a date and I absolutely loved it. I was not really sure about the out come of the movie and did not know if the story line was going to be worth the ...

Have you ever had your spouse pick out a movie, and it had chick flick written all over it? Well this happened to me one day at the Payson movie theater. The movie "Proposal" came across as another chick flick, but to my sunrise it turned out to ...

The Proposal - 2 Thumbs Up!!

Pros: Great cast, fun plot, entertaining!
Cons: Predictable
I couldnt wait to see The Proposal after seeing the previews for it! I still figured it would be just another one of those stupid chick flicks that you go to and wish you had those 2 hours of your life back, but it was so good! It was ...

Gut Busting Good Times

by andrea_laggart , Jun 21 '09
Pros: Extremely funny. Well worth seeing in the theater.
Cons: Betty White pretending to be a Shaman.
Well, I don't know about everyone else but there have always been huge water cooler commentaries about the people that sleep with their boss to get ahead within their careers. The Proposal takes this concept to a new level by taking the overbearing, ...

A really good movie

by dcole89New Member , Nov 13 '09
Pros: This movie is really funny and it doesn't take forever to get into.
Cons: As I am concerned this movie doesn't really have any cons. I loved it
     I really think people will love this movie.  I am a mans man, I'm into fights, guns, and girls.  The stuff that makes up most action movies.  I also really love comedy movies though, and I'm married, ...

Great movie for couples to watch!

by tippmannchick , Oct 24 '09
Pros: The cast works very well with each other, full of humor
Cons: The movie ends kind of abruptly.
The movie has my highest rating.  It is the best movie I have seen in a while (and I watch a movie every night!) I found this movie to be very funny as well as entertaining. Although the outcome was fairly predictable, there were some very ...

Not the best movie ever, but not so bad.

by livtheawesome , Oct 10 '09
Pros: some of the characters I did enjoy, such as the elderly woman who was funny.
Cons: It honestly was not that impressive.
This movie was okay. I did not hate it, and it was not painful to watch, but it was not something that I would buy for my permanent collection. It was okay the first time, but it is not something that I would want to spend my time watching again. The ...

The Proposal - I Rate It Entertaining

by coloradocatzNew Member , Nov 08 '09
Pros: There were a couple of scenes that made me break out in real "ha-ha's".  
Cons: None really.....could have been more meat to the situation with the father.
I suppose it's all about what you want in a movie.  I like to laugh, I like to cry-sometimes, and I like to NOT watch the time "till it's over" on my watch.  The movie gave me entertainment.  I entered into the movie thinking it was most ...

Very funny - ending chopped
by mirocada ,Jul 10 '09
Pros: Immigration details; Betty White; location
Cons: Some bad special effects, ending feels like it's missing something.
The plot is somewhat predictable and for the most part goes the way you think it's going to.  That being said, however, the details in between the plot lines are great.  I thought this movie was hilarious.

Betty White as the grandmother was priceless.  I don't believe the movie would have been the same without her.  Although much of the movie takes place indoors, the Alaska setting is beautiful and allows for some unusual details.

As an immigration law student, I was impressed with the detail and (apparent) accuracy of the immigration process behind the storyline.

All in all, hilarious, but felt like they cut out about 20 minutes between the climax and the ending.

Very Funny!
by bennett10 ,Jul 10 '09
Pros: Hilarious, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, and Betty White
Cons: The ending is a little disatisfying.
This movie was definitely worth watching, though a little predictible at times, it was very funny! Because Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are two of my favorites, it made the movie a lot better than it could have been.
There are definitley scenes in this movie that will stick out to you imparticularly long after you watch it. It is not forgettable and is very enjoyable!
My experience: Well, I watched it with my sister and both of us agreed afterward that it was very funny and entertaining the only thing we thought negative being that the ending sorta left you feeling like there could have been more to it. Despite that fact we both enjoyed every thing else about it.
Storyline: Was a well planned story line, and very entertaining. Made you wonder what would make you laugh next.
Watch this movie!: I so reccomend watching this movie! it's a movie i could watch over and over, and probably never get sick of!
