This movie (The Proposal) was just what I needed. I think it is another of my romantic comedy keepers that I'll see once a year.

Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is a strict executive editor in chief at a book publishing company. She finds out that she is being deported back to Canada, until she comes up with a scheme. In order to avoid being deported back to Canada she forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her. He unwillingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to make the lie more convincing to the US officials investigating them.

I got caught up with the movie more than I thought because of the script, direction and, of course, the chemistry between the two lead actors. The dialogue is smart, realistic, sweet and doesn't treat the comedy heavy handedly. You don't feel that the pace and story is too simple or drawn out. Betty White also deserves kudos as cute Grandma Annie who knows how to use age to her advantage.

Overall, this is the odd couple type of comedy movie, with all the elements that work and the film is perfect for watching anytime with anyone.
