"The Proposal"

It's a shame that money was spent making this movie

The plot follows the assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) who works for the horrible Book Publisher Margaret (Sandra Bullock) when her visa expires and her career is on the line when she fears to be deported to Canada. In a threat to ruin Andrew's career, she forces him to marry her, which leads them on a trip to his family's house in Alaska - here the drama develops when they have to hide their hatred for each other and act like they're in love for the scam to work.

When will people wake up and smell the (copied picture of) roses? When will Hollywood stop mass-producing these kinds of cliche-dripping uber-predicable sob-stories? WAKE UP! There is no production quality, it's not funny, the humor can't be described as humor anymore, it doesn't qualify!

Now, even though the newcomer to the big screen and known sitcom actor Ryan Reynolds might be the makings of all that is "wrong with Hollywood", I can't help but like him; it might have to do with the fact that I loved his role as Berg in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" - he displays the same acting and the same humor no matter where he's applied, but amazingly enough it works. This is the sole reason for the 2-popcorn score.

Because the thing that brings the movie down even further than the plot is Sandra Bullocks complete lack of involvement in the movie - she seriously doesn't seem interested in doing a good job. She's a talented actor, but seems reluctant to give anything of herself to it - it's as if she knows how low the quality of this movie really is!

Please, ladies and gentlemen, don't support this kind of nonsense. See something else.

Sincerely
