Preview: The Proposal (2009)

Synopsis:

Review:

I like the general idea, but the colors are trite and inexpressive. It will certainly serve as a magnet for fans of either Ryan Reynolds or Sandra Bullock and possibly even fans of both, but it doesn't yield enough information about it being a romcom to be of too much use.

• Trailer: B

Review:

I'm sure it's going to be an irritating, cookie cutter romantic comedy (all the makings are there in the trailer), but Sandra Bullock looks fun and Ryan Reynolds is charming as ever. That last line by Betty White makes the movie worth seeing just to know her brand of humor and timing is injected in the film.

Oscar Prospects:

It's going to be an innocuous box office film that won't set foot near the Oscars.
