TCP: The Proposal
This week’s theme in Tuesday Couch Potatoes is “Wedding Movies” and because I soooo love Sandra Bullock, I’ll chose The Proposal, which I found so funny. It also shows something about family-ties which made me love the movie even more.
I was not able to post an entry last week, but I just want to say that the movie that disappointed me was also of Sandra Bullock’s and it’s called, The Lake House. This is the only Sandra Bullock movie that I didn’t find nice among the few I just watched. I don’t know if it’s really not so nice or it’s just me disliking it because of the deep twist and I hate to think how the hell they were able to meet at the same time… LOL!
Oh well, I know there are still a lot of Sandra’s movies that I have to marathon in one whole straight week. =) I’m a Sharonian, but internationally, I’m “Sandranian”.. hahaha!!!
In New York, Margaret Tate is a successful self-made chief-editor of the Ruick & Hunt Publishing and loathed by her coworkers. Margaret lost her parents when she was sixteen and is tough with the employees of the office. Her executive assistant and aspirant editor Andrew Paxton has been working with her for three years without any recognition. When Margaret has problems with the immigration due to an expired visa and is threatened with deportation, she blackmails Andrew to agree to marry her. In return, he would be promoted to editor and she would publish his book. Meanwhile, the skeptical clerk of the immigration department Mr. Gilbertson schedules an interview with Margaret and Andrew after the weekend. The couple travels to Sitka, Alaska, to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Andrew’s grandmother and Margaret is welcomed by his warming family. Over the weekend, she grows closer to Andrew’s family who ask her to marry Andrew in their barn, a family tradition in the Paxton family. And the tension increases when Mr. Gilbertson appears out of the blue in Sitka promising to charge Andrew for fraud. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - IMDB
I found this movie funny and nice. Andrew didn’t even say a word about his family. He was so humble not to mention that his family was so rich and even said that it’s not his, but his parents. Andrew’s family was so close that he doesn’t want to disappoint any of them. Margaret’s heart softened as she lives with Andrew’s family and at the end, just admitting about the pretentious acts even though it means losing her career is one brave act, for me. It’s not the nicest movie ever, but it’s the most recent wedding movie I watched and simply because, it starred Sandra Bullock. =)
