"The proposal" film review

“The Proposal” is a romantic comedy movie was released in June 19, 2009. The film was directed by “Anne Fletcher” and written by “Peter Chiarelli”. In the leading roles are, “Sandra Bullock” and “Ryan Reynolds”.

The plot centers on a woman “Margret Tate” who knew that she might face many problems because of her expired visa, and might lose her position in work. She tries to solve this problem by trying to convince her assistant “Andrew Paxton” to act as her fiancé until her problem is solved.

The action of the film is set in the modern time in Sitka, Alaska. The main characters in the movie are “Sandra Bullock” as “Margret Tate” and “Ryan Reynolds” as “Andrew Paxton” with “Betty White”, “Mary Steenburgen” and “Craig T.Nelson” in the supporting roles. Margret Tate is a successful woman who cares so much about her position in work and is willing to do anything for not to lose this position, in the movie she played her role perfect and made me feel that everything happening around is so real, as for Andrew Paxton he is a handsome guy who loves his work and isn’t counting on the wealth of his family. The harmony between both characters made the movie feels really perfect and real, moreover, all the actions of the characters were justified and convincing from the way they behave, talk, and act throughout the whole movie. The movie was romantic but at the same time it had a lot of comedy scenes in it that added a lot to the movie.

 

The movie begins with Margret knowing that her visa is about to be expired and that she may lose her position in work, then it comes to a part that she tries to find a solution; which is getting engaged to her assistant Andrew, then it come to the twist of the movie with her and Andrew traveling to Sitka, which is Andrews’ hometown, as for the ending it wasn’t really expected.

My expectations to the movie wasn’t that high, but when I watched it I found out that the movie was perfect and the actors played their role perfectly and made us feel everything happening.

As for the technical part in the movie, it was quite perfect with all the camera angels, editing, lighting, sound, and the music was used perfectly and in its right place in each scene.

As a conclusion I find this movie is one of the best movies I saw and I would like to see it several times. Because I really liked all the characters and the harmony they have. I really recommend people to see this movie as it will put you in a romantic mood and at the same time it will add some fun with the comedy scenes in it.
