Familiarity breeds contempt
Believability really goes out the window here.
Instead of being about dinosaurs and time warps, it's about gags that were old when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
It's impossible to guess why Bullock was ever attracted to this insulting role, and the eternally confident Reynolds is miscast as a young, bullied underling.
Shamelessly derivative, contrived and predictable, The Proposal is nonetheless a crowd-pleasing romantic comedy.
A fresh twist to a proposal that starts out as all business but becomes something warmer and fuzzier before it's over.
The comedy is some good moments, and the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds is strong, but it's too cute and predictable
The story is cute, although a little forced, but for the basic romantic comedy, you could do a lot worse. Sure, it's predictable, but the flick works and is quite satisfying in the end.
annoyingly predictable and barely watchable piece of Hollywood routine
The blu-ray tries to whet your appetite for going HD by also adding an additional deleted scene.
It's not awful, certainly not memorable and - despite the words of at least one quote whore - it's not "the year's best comedy."
Tailored to fit Sandra Bullock more snugly than the antique wedding gown altered for the star during the final act, the film begins to fall apart at the seams after its focus wanders from its promising screwball premise...
Bullock is totally at home in this territory, and she remains fun to watch, but I do wish she would get stronger, possibly more original comedic material.
Unfortunately, this winning team is stuck in a dumb vehicle.
An old-fashioned romp reminiscent of the best of Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
Quite a few of bonus features pad this DVD of The Proposal, which is otherwise notable solely for seeing Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds accidentally slam into each other completely in the buff.
The Proposal doesn't blaze any new ground, but it doesn't raze any old ground either. It's a solid, old-fashioned romantic comedy that's more interested in the romance than in being silly or raunchy. These days, that's refreshing enough.
