The Proposal
Sandra Bullock is still stuck in 1995 in this uninspired romantic comedy where she goes through all the motions that the genre calls for with little originality.
Betty White makes it all worth it with her scene-stealing turn as a grandmother. She’s always one to watch for.
This is the quintessential chick flick. The primary roles are female. No big deal. The same was mostly true of “A League of Their Own.” But, what’s missing here is anything resembling a male with much testosterone. In addition, the character development and especially the shift in feelings between Bullock and Reynolds is lacking. For women looking for something to watch on a Saturday night “The Proposal” might fit the bill. On the other hand, this movie brings to bare the lyrics to the ballad “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone.” As a guy, my only excuse for watching this movie is that my girlfriend really wanted to see it so I went along with her. That takes care of the chick flicks for a while.
A long, long time ago I swore I would never to see another Sandra Bullock “romantic comedy”. After TWO WEEKS NOTICE, FORCES OF NATURE, MISS CONGENIALITY and so forth I thought enough was enough. Then THE PROPOSAL came along and, asides from a couple of good reviews, I also heard some pretty good word of mouth on it. Too bad, frankly speaking, word of mouth should have kept its mouth shut, THE PROPOSAL is just as bad as anything Bullock has ever done in the past. Then there’s lovable granny who takes Sandra to a strip joint for a never ending private dance and the love birds taking off their clothes (unaware of each other’s presence), walking in reverse and ending up accidentally embracing each other naked in plain daylight (I guess the true odds of that were a bit remote). THE PROPOSAL is for undiscriminating romantic comedy lovers only, others beware !
