My number 6 pick goes to The Proposal. This romantic comedy stars the wonderfully talented Sandra Bullock (Margaret Tate) and the very handsome Ryan Reynolds (Andrew Paxton). The film starts of with Margaret and Andrew starting their normal work day at a publishing firm; getting ready and then at the office. Now, Andrew is Margaret's assistant and he's trying to work his way up to editor. So, he spends a lot of his time taking orders from Margaret and kissing her butt. A little later Margaret was called to her boss's office, she told Andrew to come get her in ten minutes with some excuse because she had so much work to do.When she arrived to her boss's office, they told her that her visa was up and she was being deported back to Canada.
Well, Margaret was not going to stand for this. Luckily, the ten minutes was up and Andrew walked into the office. That's when a light bulb turned on in Margaret's head. She told her bosses that her and Andrew were getting married and going to visit Andrew's parents to deliver the news and make it official. Andrew stood there dazed and confused and just kind of went along with it in adding that they didn't want to tell anyone because Margaret was promoting him to editor. He figured he ought to get something out of this. He also added the fact that his parents live in Alaska. That was a nice wake-up call for Margaret.
After they had left the office, they went outside to talk this over and Margaret pretty much had to beg Andrew to do this for her. She promised him many things and a promotion if he would do this favor for her. He then agreed and they then made their first stop at the immigration office.
Questions of course arose at the immigration office in inquiring if this marriage is the real deal. The man assigned to their case told them there was a long process heading there way. They were then warned multiple times that jail time is on the table if this is a false marriage. They were still willing to go on with this and so the man started the process of their case.
After the immigration office, it was time to pack up and head to the airport. They had a long journey to Alaska and a further drive when they arrived. When they first arrived they met Andrew's mom and grandmother at the airport. They then drove Margaret and Andrew threw town and Margaret soon started to realize that Andrew's last name was plastered everywhere. His family pretty much owned this town. They then had a boat ride to take them to the Paxton's home.
When they entered the house there was a big party waiting for them. It was kind of like a homecoming for Andrew as he as not told his family that they are getting married yet. But, shortly after they did make the big announcement that they're getting married. It has now turned into an engagement party. Andrew's family decided they'd pack this weekend with wedding plans and of course the wedding.
Many actions started going into affect as Margaret was thrown a bachelorette party, fitted into a wedding gown, and Andrew reconnected with his ex a little bit. Yet towards the big day Andrew and Margaret grew closer and started falling for each other. Margaret decided that she couldn't do this to Andrew and his family so she called the wedding off and decided to head back to Canada. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!! Andrew of course then realized that he loved Margaret and wanted to marry her so they could date. Ha ha. Then, Andrew rushed back to the New York office where Margaret was packing her things and he professed his love to her and they decided to finally make it official.
The proposal is such a funny movie. Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses and I love her in about everything she's done. If you think you see chemistry between Sandra and Ryan, I see an even bigger chemistry between her and Betty White. I would recommend this as either a girls night movie or even a movie to see on a date. I think there's a little something for all to enjoy! Have a great day and enjoy a great movie!

My family is really big on Sandra Bullock, so I've seen this a few more times than I care to admit. Not a bad movie though, it certainly made me want to visit Alaska. Ryan Reynolds is also an under appreciated actor in my opinion.
