The Proposal (2009) is certainly another chick flick romance/comedy, girl hates boy, boy hates girl, they play with a very yapping dog, and then “bang” they are in love. However, the predictable plot doesn´t make it less enjoyable, as a matter of fact there are some hilarious scenes that will probably make you believe that it is not a waste of time and money.
The movie begans when a pushy boss called Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is going to be deportated to Canadá because her Visa had expired, although she is a very smart, organized and high-executive woman (just..just..in movies), anyway this is the situation. Then, she hatches an unbelievable plan to get married with her humiliated, but american, assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds, the main reason to watch the movie!!!). He agrees with that sham marriage, which sounds like an workplace bullying, in order to be promoted.
Surprisingly, (really?) all her scheme backfires when Andrews needs to go home for his grandma´s 90th birthday in the remote Alasca, where the whole magic happens in only few days, which is more than necessary to fall in love, meet your husband-to-be family and ex-girlfriend, have a boat accident, get engaged and married (with just one simple fake kiss!!!). Well, at the very least to the movie industry these days are enough, but I do believe that in real life these things need a little longer time to be done.
Anyhow, we can be very demanding when we talk about these movies, they are fiction and invented to entertain us nothing more than that even though I sometimes, just sometimes, would like to watch a chick flick with more real facts or at least probable to happen.
