the proposal

Saw "The Proposal" on Friday night, after a delicious, delicious meal at Mykonos. Oh, how I love Greek food. But anyway. I really really liked the movie. It was not rocket science, you know, but it was light and funny and happy and sometimes that is all I really look for in a movie. Sandra Bullock has to be one of the most adorable, likeable actresses around today. Her character, Margaret Tate is not a nice person - I mean, come on, she bribes her assistant to marry her so she doesn't get deported! After a wild eagle snatches her phone, on their trip to Palin-land she offers it a fluffy white puppy instead! Not nice! But Sandra made her seem - well, not so bad. Human. Relatable.

And can we talk about Ryan Reynolds for just a moment? Lovely! {sighhhhh}

Sorry, she said, wiping drool from her keyboard, what were we talking about? Oh, right. The movie. Focus. Deep breaths. Anyway, the plot was a little predictable, but the movie made me laugh. I had a great time. There were some great supporting players too, including Betty White's "Gammy" and Oscar Nunez's exotic dancing "Ramon."

So go and see it with your girlfriends and have a good time. Stay for the end credits. Maybe if you are lucky, some idiot will be setting off fireworks in the Chasers parking lot. Fun for the whole family!
