The Proposal

The Proposal is a feel-good comedy movie that will have you laughing all the way to the last scene.

My sister dragged me to the theaters to watch it and I wasn't really interested. I was giving her the "It's gonna be boring.", "It's not even gonna be good.", "We're just gonna waste our time." lines. But by the time we were walking out of the theater, I absolutely loved it.

Margaret Tate, played by Sandra Bullock, is an up-tight and proud executive editor-in-chief who is about to be deported to Canada. She then bribes her assistant, Andrew Paxton played by Ryan Reynolds,a promotion to the position of editor if he agrees to marry her in order for her not to get deported.

Of course Andrew couldn't pass this up since it's his dream to become an editor, so he agrees. To make it look realistic, the both of them head to Alaska to spend time with Andrew's family. And as they spend more and more time with each other, feelings between them starts to grow.

Like any romantic-comedy movie, the two of them end up together. On their wedding day, Margaret admits to everyone that everything was just a set-up to save her from getting deported to Canada. Then she goes back to New York to pack her things and next thing she knows, Andrew is kneeling down behind her in front of the whole office staff. He confesses his feelings to her and proposes, for real this time.

I'd have to say that this movie really is one of my favorites. I can watch it over and over again and I would not get tired of it. Sandra Bullock shows us a whole new side to her and Ryan Reynolds is just so amazingly cute:D

I really suggest for you guys to check this movie out. It's a must-see.

How about you? What's your must-see movie?
