Watching Sandra Bullock in The Proposal was like taking a familiar drive along the main drag in your old hometown. . Of course Bullock and Reynolds are cute together and there is something to be said of the guts it takes to have yourself up there naked at 40+, but the predictable story line and telegraphed ending make it another cliche flick. All in all there ARE laughs in The Proposal, but not enough to make it stand out from While You Were Sleeping (in fact the weddiing scene was most familiar here) I say wait for rental and while you're waiting watch Sandra work the "L" train in Chicago with Bill Pulman because you will be watching basically the same film 15 years earlier. Hum, sounds familiar?
