The Proposal (Blu-ray Disc, 2009, Deluxe Edition; Includes Digital Copy)

Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality and many more) stars with Ryan Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe + More).

Bullock is Margaret, the hard nosed editor at a book publishing house and Reynolds is Andrew, her executive assistant (actually her 24 hour get me what I want man).

When Margaret is threatened with deportation back to her home country of Canada she concocts a scheme to get married to Andrew so she can stay in the US and save her job. To get andrew to agree to this, she threatens him (actually blackmails is a better word) and finally he agrees to go along with it.

The plot unfolds from there as the young couple head off to Alaska to meet Andrews parents and celebrate his grandmothers 90th birthday.

And here we have the best part of the entire movie. Grandma is played by Betty White (who actually will be celebrating her 90th birthday in 2012). Ms White is one the television and motion picture Icons who lights up any screen she appears on and she does not hold anything back in this movie. It is worth the price of this DVD just to see her performance.

Also starring in this movie are: Malin Akerman, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Oscar Nuñez and Aasif Mandvi

The movie is VERY predictable but it was also VERY funny and Betty White was great. So get this one and have a good laugh.

Rated PG13 for some brief semi nudity and sexual humor.

As far as the Blu Ray picture goes, it's a pretty good transfer, lots of outdoor scenes that look at though you are looking out a window. Sound is good too, but not too much rear speaker action. This is a pretty good romantic comedy that works because of it's stars. Bullock plays her role very well and it's fun watching her let her emotional side come out. Although the ending is predictable, it's enjoyable taking the journey. Although more of a "chick flick", I found myself smiling along side my wife. If you are in the mood for a good old fashioned romantic comedy, in Blu Ray, then get this one. It won't disappoint.

SANDRA BULLOCK GETS BACK IN HER ELEMENT WITH THE PROPOSAL. SHE HAS HER YOUNG STUD TO PLAY OFF HER RYAN REYNOLDS. HES VERY GOOD ACTUALLY. THIS REVIEW IS FROM A MALE PERPECTIVE. SO YOU WOMEN TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. YOU KNEW HOW IT WAS GOING TO END BUT THAT IS WHAT WOMEN WANT IN CHICK-FLICKS. THIS IS BETTER THAN THE USUAL DRECK THAT COMES ALLONG IN THIS GENRE. HAVE FUN AND IF YOU WANT A LIGHT AND ENTERTAINING TIME I SAY SEE THE PROPOSAL. YES YOU MEN CAN GIVE UP 2 HOURS OF FOOTBALL AND MAKE YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND HAPPY BY SHARING WATCHING THIS MOVIE. WHO KNOWS WERE IT MIGHT LEAD!!! MICHAEL JACOBSEN 10-28-2009
