The Proposal (2009) is not a great movie, but it is a fun, light romantic comedy, of the kind that star, Sandra Bullock, does VERY well.
Bullock plays a hard ass book editor Margaret Tate, who is about to be deported back to Canada. To save her career, she tells her bosses that she is getting married to her long-suffering assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). The bosses are thrilled, but Andrew is not, especially when he needs to bring her home to Alaska to meet his family.
None of this is really original, but it is done really well here, and is truly fun, so you don't really care too much. There are some very funny scenes, and Betty White and the grandma is hilarious. Pro actors all the way around, with Craig Nelson and Mary Steenburgen, and the usual great work by Bullock. And Reynolds does a very nice job, holding the line between attraction and repelance very nicely.
The two eventually realize their attraction, and of course, they have another thing that seems to tear them apart. But, this being the genre, they end up together and happy.
A side note...Bullock looks great in her near nude scenes. Hello! Hhhhhot!
