Review: The Proposal

[priamia]

Saw this at Odeon Covent Garden last night with my boyf.

LOVED The film, good to see SB back on the screens. I agree with most of the posters above that Rom-Com seems to be Bullock's genre. Ryan Reynolds was also good. Storyline reminded me of 'Green Card' with Andie MacDowell and Gerard Depardieu (circa 1990!! Yep, nearly 20 yrs ago!! ), but revamped - and well done at that!! Boyf thought it was more of a chick flick but had enough laughs for the guys to enjoy. We laughed out loud a lot, and the audience seemed very relaxed and there were two girls in front of me who were almost in tears of laughter in the first 5 mins of the film!

Bonus at my screening was that there was an introduction by Rickie & Melvin (hosts of the Kiss 100 radio breakfast show). The screening was on time. I would recommend this film to everyone - it does what it says on the tin and doesn't disappoint.

8.5/10 from me

This film is great from the start. Continuously funny with a few laugh out loud comedy moments. Naked bathroom scene anyone? Ok, so it doesn't deviate at all from the typical romantic comedy and the ending is very soppy and highly predictable but I loved it. Ryan Reynolds is amazing and Sandra Bullock is on top form - she's 45? Really?

Hello RAven

I saw this at Wandsworth, cinema about 3/4 full. film was not too bad for a RomCom. It was exactly as I thought it was going to be. A few laugh out loud moments and the obligiatary happy ending, just what I needed last night. 'Kevin' was the best thing in it. 7/10

I enjoyed this film even more the second time. Well there have been so few codes for anything else. I took OH with me this time and guess what! He enjoyed it as well. The cinema Cineworld Birmingham was about 75% full. The audience was a real mixed bag, couples, groups of girls, a few guys, mother and children and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Chuckles in all the right places. A happy little film. 8/10

I saw the proposal last night in Southampton, Cinema was full, the film predictable, but it was good and had a few funny bits. Does anyone fall in love in 3 days or is that just in the movies????

Watched this at West India Quay last night with 2 friends and only 1 of us didn't enjoy it. I love action or thriller movies usually so I was pleasantly surprised to find I was enjoying it and lol quite a lot.

Saw this on Tuesday at WIQ. Got there for about 6.15 at screen 6 and the doors had not opened. Doors opened 5 minutes later and we got decent seats towards the back. And oh there was also no ID checks, as some people reprted there was for the Monday night showing at WIQ. Well the film started bang on 6.30 and the cinema i would say was about 3/5 full'ish.

First i wanna say, im a big fan of Ryan from way back in his TV days in Two Guys and a Girl and all his comedy films he has done after that have been spot on. So i was looking forward to this film as Ryna always delivers and he did it again and didnt let you down. Film was funny from begining to end. Was a good romcom that people would enjoy! 9/10

I saw this yesterday in Enfield. I think the cinema was about 70% full. The film was really funny for a romantic comedy.

I was sitting next to a Dutch guy who felt the need to read or repeat lots of things he saw or heard in the film out loud, or make stupid loud comments for everyone to hear. So annoying!
At the end of the movie, there was a technical problem. Everyone had to sit there for about 15 minutes for the problem to be solved, only to watch less than a minute of film.

I can't wait to see it, managed to drag my partner to this, he didn't seem to impressed, am sure he would have preferred Pelham ... can't be fussy when it's free, is what I say. This will be my first free viewing with SFF, I can't believe I didn't know it existed! Well better late than never.

I saw it in Bracknell on 29th June, and absolutely loved it! Thought it was very funny!
It was a bit predictable but most films are - especially Rom coms. Cant wait for the dvd to come out!!

Need to keep and eye out now for codes for The Ugly truth in Guildford!

Gotta love the freebies!!!
