The Proposal was officially released on the screens here in Malaysia today. This is a romance comedy movie starring Ryan Reynolds (Andrew Paxton) and Sandra Bullock (Margaret Tate). The length of this movie is approximately 1 hour 40 minutes. What made it interesting to watch is that the storyline happens in reality too in which Margaret Tate forces Andrew Paxton to get married with her to save her job.

It all begins when Margaret Tate who is a Canadian working as an an executive editor-in-chief in a book publishing company called Colden Books, got her Visa status rejected and she had to go back to Canada as she cannot work for an American company without a valid Visa. The only proper solution to this is that she had to give up her position to someone else for a year as she stays in Canada reapplying for a Visa. She thought of a shortcut to this problem which she forced her assistant Andrew Paxton to marry her to avoid being deported back to Canada as well as giving up her position to someone else. Andrew accepted this solution with a condition that Margaret must give him a promotion to an editor.

The both of them went to the immigration department and was told that they will be investigated. In order to make everything seemed real, Andrew and Margaret went back to Andrew’s place back in Alaska to spend the weekend with his parents. As they spend more time together, the both of them fell in love with each other. As a result of this, Margaret announced the real situation to everyone during the ceremony that this marriage was made up in order for her to avoid being deported.

With the conflicts, what will happen between Andrew and Margaret? How will they be able to handle the conflicts and pressure? I basically like the idea of this story because as I mentioned earlier, it happens in reality. Fake marriages happens everywhere and everyday. I find this movie to be entertaining as it mixes romance with comedy so it didn’t turn out to be dry throughout the entire movie. I would recommend this to those who love watching romance movies with a little bit of laughter. For the rest especially those who love action-packed movies, you might want to look at other movies instead.
