Critic Reviews

  • David Jenkins, Time Out

    They may as well have called this one 'Mis-Matched Sham Wedding Comedy #57513' for all the effort it makes to shake new life out of a tattered genre.

  • Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer

    Familiarity breeds contempt

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    Sloppy and lazy.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    Believability really goes out the window here.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Instead of being about dinosaurs and time warps, it's about gags that were old when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

    Cute movie, Ryan Reynolds as always is good. Sandra Bullock is funny and her and Reynolds have a decent chemistry. Betty White really shines in the supporting role.

    Only a charisma piece but there's oodles of that charisma. You'll hate yourself for liking it. Okay, okay, hate's a strong word. Maybe its a better chick flick than I give it credit for being.

  • Wildaly M


    It's a good enough ol' rom-com that actually makes you laugh.

  • Candy R


    This is a funny rom com about a horrible boss who forces her assistant to marry her to allow her to stay in the US. They travel to Alaska to announce their engagement to his family with funny consequences. Great cast and plot.

    The Proposal is a typical romantic comedy. That's it. There's not much else to say about it. Everything in the film has been done before. There's nothing original about it. Does it please the masses? Certainly. Is it fun? I guess so. I can't say I really enjoyed… More
