The Proposal


Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds play respectively a high-powered literary executive and one of her staff at a prestigious company - she is overbearing and nobody likes her.

Her cosy existence is shattered when it is discovered that as a Canadian she is no longer permitted to work in the United States and so her masterplan is to pretend that she is going to marry her assistant in order for her to get her Green Card.A suspicious immigration official questions them both and she is forced to go to Alaska with her "beau" for his grandmother's birthday party.

Let us be quite clear on this - Sandra Bullock in a romantic comedy is a recipe for sheer delight although some critics do tend to dismiss some of her recent efforts.Fuddy-duddies.

The much publicised dual nude scene is very funny and Miss Bullock certainly looks stunning for her age (a most young-looking 44).All sorts of the usual mix-ups etc ensue before true love arrives at the end.Sweet and well-acted.Very enjoyable indeed.7/10
