The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Betty White, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen. Dragon-lady book editor Margaret (Bullock) forces her assistant, Andrew (Reynolds) to agree to marry her to keep her from being deported to Canada, where she is from. Circumstances dictate that they travel from New York to Alaska to visit his family, where Margaret re-learns the experience of being part of a family and being loved. She and Andrew, of course, fall in love. It's an OK setup, and the stars make it entertaining enough, but you just never quite believe that enough has happened between them in Alaska to constitute "falling in love." And for a romantic comedy, there aren't many really funny moments. The subtitles, however, are excellent. Grade: B-
