There’s not a shred of wit or originality to be found in The Proposal; this movie seemed less scripted than assembled from parts recycled from other Sandra Bullock movies (While You Were Sleeping and Two Weeks Notice). The studio was clearly counting on the charm and skill of Bullock and Ryan Reynolds to make it work, and damned if it didn’t almost. I won’t pretend that The Proposal was good — if I were feeling generous, I’d say it’s “okay” — but kudos for the fact that it wasn’t abhorrently wretched can be placed on the well-sculpted bodies of its stars. Grade: C
