It's a funny thing when you go into a movie expecting just another romantic comedy and instead you get something that is actually quite entertaining and funny. The Proposal is not gonna win any Oscars but everyone in the theatre was cracking up the entire time so I have to say it did it's job. What really impressed me about this film was the ensemble cast they put together who really had great comedic timing and chemistry to get that realistic interpretation of a troubled family down perfectly. Even though you can say this movie is predictable, I believed the chemistry b/w Ryan Reynold and Sandra Bullock which starts off as opposite of what you'd think and instead goes against all the normal cliches found in movies like this. There weren't too many gross gags or sexual humor but instead this movie really used the secondary characters well for the main actors to play off to show this fish out of water story in a new light. The way that they evolve the relationship during the movie is great because they show how each person slowly warms up to eachother and learns the things they need to know to make the fake engagement believable. Needless to say, I was impressed with everything about this film and think it will be a sure hit when it's released.
