The Proposal

In my first DVD rental from Netflix, Melissa and I got the Sandra Bullock movie, The Proposal. After the crap that we watched last night, my expectations were low! Lucky for us, this movie helped!

Melissa felt that Sandra Bullock was miscast in the role of a bitchy boss, feeling that it didn't fit her. I, however, thought she did a remarkable job! I thought the relationship with Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) character was great. It was nice to see how, in the beginning, she had control in the relationship and how towards the end, she completely lost it. Betty White is in the movie as Andrew's 90 year old grandmother, which led me to say, "She's in everything these days!" Either way, I loved her character.

After the middle of the movie, I started drawing comparisons to an earlier Sandra Bullock movie, While You Were Sleeping. I saw a few similarities, but it didn't detour my opinion of the movie. All in all, it's a good rental.
