    "The Proposal" - The Best Sandra Bullock Movie....Ever!

    Just came out of the 11:10AM show at AMC in Port Chester, N.Y. and am feeling extremely uplifted!
    The theatre was "packed" for a 1st show on a Friday morning of opening day...primarily women and teenage girls, but a few guys were there as well.
    Initially I thought it was going to be a movie of little substance, but just about 10 minutes into it I could tell that this movie was indeed going to be a pleasant surprise!
    Sandra Bullock plays a high level Publishing exec. and Ryan Reynolds, her assistant. Think of Sigourney Weaver in "Working Girl"; She is obviously a "witch" and totally self absorbed.
    When it's discovered her Canadian work Visa hasn't been extended because of an out of country trip she took without "permission" by the U.S. Government, she's about to be deported and won't be able to work for any US company, even from Canada, for at least a year and non-stop comedy, with some tears along the way, ensues!
    The entire cast was brilliant, especially Betty White as Grandma!

    You just have to see this movie!!

    by lmdaube

    Some comedies are funny in a couple of scenes but "The Proposal" is outrageously funny from beginning to end. I (and the entire audience) couldn't stop laughing! When the movie ended, people actually clapped and cheered because the movie was so great! As I was walking out I could other hear people bubbling over about how much they loved the movie and couldn't wait to go see it again - I can't either!! I've already told others to go see it and I am planning to take my brother and sister-in-law on Tuesday ... but it's a movie you can't tell others too much about because not knowing the story line and what is going to happen next is what adds to the hilarity of the movie!

    This is the first time I've felt strong enough about a movie to actually sign up to leave a rating and so I didn't realize that of the 1,244 reviews it currently has, only 648 reviewees have actually seen the movie. How can you review a movie without seeing it first?? GO!!!! You've be glad you did!!
