Film 42/365, Day 45/365 – The Proposal

Andrew is an aspiring author who has found himself working for the most demanding editor in all of New York. Desperate to get his novel looked at he reluctantly agrees to marry his pushy boss, originally from Canada, so that she can obtain a green card to stay in the USA. They travel back to Andrew’s home in Alaska to tell his parents and get married… But there is a skeptical INS agent determined to prove that the marriage is a sham. But is it?

There are plenty of laughs in the Proposal and it’s good to see Ryan Reynolds back doing comedy. He’s good in the action roles but this is where I think he really shines, but will he ever recapture the magic of Van Wilder? I hope so, although not quite in this one. Actually it is the relationship between Sandra Bullock and Betty White that really steals the show. It’s a nice story with some genuine funny moments.
