Wedding for Convenience?

Have you seen the movie “The Proposal”? It stars Sandra Bullock. One of my favorite ‘nice’ stars. Sandra is so wholesome!

I haven’t and I’m just trying to find a free day in my calendar to go watch the movie with my daughter and girlfriends. We were supposed to watch it on Friday last week but for one reason or the other, our girls’ night out was cancelled.

Imagine, marrying your boss so she can stay in the country legally. I am sure there are couples who have done this in the past. Not that I know anyone personally. Mind you. It’s just way too risky methinks.

Here’s “The Proposal” movie review from IMDB:

The Proposal is a fun little romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Both actors were believable in their roles and played realistic characters. Much of the fun revolved around some of the minor characters; one being Ramone and the other character played by a true American treasure, Betty White. Betty was very funny in this film and kudos goes to the casting director for getting her in this picture. It was also great to see Mary Steenburgen and Craig T. Nelson.

For you guys who want to bring your lady to a decent romantic comedy…one that you can sit and watch without having to puke, this one is worth a try. Your girl will be happy you went to this film with her and you should be able to have a few laughs as well.

The basic premise is that Bullock, who is Reynolds’ boss, will be deported back to Canada unless she marries an American. So she orders Reynolds to marry her and they embark on a trip to Alaska to visit his family. The romance and the comedy then unfolds. A fun little film acted very well. Rating 7 of 10 stars.
