Random Thoughts of Mine...

Here comes the bribe...

Yesterday, I went to the movies twice in one day. The first movie that I saw Saturday afternoon was The Proposal. I will do a post on the second movie I saw on Saturday later.

The Proposal stars Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate, Ryan Renolds as Andrew Paxton, Mary Steenburgen as Grace Paxton (Andrew's mom), Craig T. Nelson as Joe Paxton (Andrew's dad), Betty White as Grandma Annie, Oscar Nuñez as Ramone, and Denis O'Hare as Mr. Gilbertson of the INS.

In this movie, Margaret is an executive editor-in-chief who is feared and hated by all that work under her. This includes her secretary, Andrew, who has been working for her for 3 years. He also dreams of becoming an editor. When Margaret enters the office, Andrew warns everybody by instant message that, "The witch is on her broom!" He planned on going to visit his family for his grandmother's 90th birthday, but Margaret tells him that he has to work instead. She gets called upstairs by her bosses for an urgent meeting. She tells Andrew to come get her soon. Upstairs, she learns that she is about to be deported back to her native Canada because her visa application has been denied. She thinks she will work from Toronto, but is told that she can't work for an American company if she is deported. Andrew walks in and a quick-thinking Margaret tells her bosses that she is engaged to Andrew. Later, she warns him that if he doesn't marry her, then she will be deported and he will lose his job. So he reluctantly agrees to it and they head to the Immigration office. There, Mr. Gilbertson warns them that if they are commiting fraud, then she will be deported and Andrew can face 5 years in prison. So they head to Sitka, Alaska to surprise his family with the announcement.

In Alaska we meet Andrew's family. Especially funny are Grandma Annie, Ramone and the family dog. The dog hates Margaret. It had been a while since I had seen a romantic comedy (or any comedy for that matter) in the theatres, so I decided to see this film. There were quite a few funny moments that had me and the audience laughing. The cast did a good job on this film. There were some slow moments and this is probably not the funniest movie of the year, but I would recommend The Proposal.
