The Proposal Review thread - Blu-ray Forum

I saw it yesterday. Funny as hell. Bust-a-gut-laugh-out-loud-many-times funny. REALLY well directed. Ryan, Betty and Sandra were a fantasic team with great chemestry.

Oh...and Bullock 100% nude...only covering as much as humanly possible with her left and right hand....for extended shots.

Not just a chick flick.

Im not gonna lie as a guy i like all of Sandra Bullocks movies so i will see this

I literally laughed out loud when he read this quote from the president of Disney regarding the Proposal..."In a summer with a lot of sequels, it's always nice to have an original movie." come on Disney invented the never ending string of sequels...half the sequels in existence are probably their handy work

anyway not sure about this one, after reading this thread I might be open to seeing it...but if Disney is behind this I think we can be sure we'll be getting a Propasal 2 maybe even a third

for disney good box office performance=franchise...ergo sequels

I was interested in seeing this to begin with. I love Ryan Reynolds, I find him quite funny, and I've always found Sandra Bullock to be very attractive, Betty White is just Gold.

Your review pushed me over the edge I will def. go see it now.

I saw this last night and enjoyed it. There are some great moments like the aforementioned nude scene. Word of advice, sit through the credits: the film's ending occurs during them.

Betty had some awesome scenes.....the helicopter scene.

I have to stress the chemistry...it really flowed....like smartass friend just jabbing eachother all the time. Great comedic timing and the director used some very effective pacing.

The Bachelorette party at the "nightclub"...LOLLLLLLLLL

Cheesey and predictable, but super funny.

I have to agree with you completely after seeing it this weekend I was really impressed with the chemistry of the entire cast. I think Betty White could carry a movie all by herself still at her age.

She's 87 years old and NOTHING gets past her. In fact, I find myself trying to keep up with her.

Oh, and when Bullock has all her clothes on, she is still a sweet treat for the eyes. Man she has some nice legs.

it looked hilarious, may have to take the wife.

I just picked this up. I was just assuming an average Comedy but it was pretty good. I really enjoyed it, but I'm a big Sandra Fan.

Personally I really like "While You Were Sleeping" and "Miss Congeniality" a lot... so... accounting for taste, I guess...
