Watched the Proposals today at the Empire cinema with my girl. As usual, I always enjoy a movie with Sandra Bullock in it. She was brilliant and I love her! It was really a good movie too, my girl and I enjoyed it very much. Very touching, and it went to show how valuable a family life is.
Its about this lady boss who was so fierce and strict in the office. She had a a young male assistant who she treated like a slave. One day her boss informed her that she had to be laid off since her visa has expired, (She is a Canadian in the movie). She was shocked and speechless until the assistant came on the door and she had this idea of marrying the assistant so she could stay in her job and in the country. Thats when the whole story began. She followed her assistant home to his family in Alaska for the weekend pretending to be lovers, engaged and to be married. They were both in a very awkward situation and this was when all the fun began. You know they had to share the same room whilst they were not really lovers. How they pretend to be in loved whilst they actually were not. Its hilarous! Then here she realised how important family life could be. The assistant family treated her well and she just realised how much she missed family life. Her parents died when she was 16. The family even insisted they got married there and then which they reluctantly agreed. On their wedding day, her conscience took over. She couldnt go through with it and lied to the whole family on her true intention. She broke down and told the truth at the altar and left. And of course, all along, they were actually falling in love and her assistant track her down to NY and declared his love. And in the end they did get married and live happily ever after.
Sounds cliche'? Of course it does. We already knew the story line but hey.. its what entertainment is all about. It was indeed a movie not be missed and I dont mind watching it again. Sandra Bullock rocks!!! And she still looks fantastic at, how old is she? 45?
Went home tonight with a warm feeling all over. The movie really made my day.
