The Proposal

Well, I was fortunate enough to score 2 tickets to see The Proposal on Friday for a viewing this morning, and over the weekend it was a frantic dash to find someone to go with me as Cuddle Bunny was unable to go (her mom was a bit shaken up after a car accident that wrote off the car bless her) so eventually I got spud to go with me!

The Proposal is a romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds and is about editor Margaret Tate (Bullock) who is very successful (and a bit power mad) and discovers that she has had her application for her visa denied (she's Canadian) and therefore is going to be deported. She decides that she will set up a marriage between her and her assistant Andrew Paxton(Reynolds)...a quick marriage and few months later a quick divorce...what could go wrong?

Immigration want to make sure that they are not doing this for the wrong reasons (which they are of course) so they both head to Andrew's parent's place in Alaska. They start off hating each other (pretty much) but by the end of the movie as you would expect they are both in love with each other.

The usual situations in this kind of romantic comedy come up, as well as incidents with Andrew's family (especially his kooky Grandmother!), but it the end they face facts and Margaret faces deportation.

I really enjoyed the movie, which surprised me as this is not the kind of film I'd usually go for, Spud said he thought it was a good movie too.

Do they get together in the end? Does immigration "always get their man"? The only way you will find out is if you go and see the movie, which is rated 12A and hits cinemas this Wednesday.
