Can Sandra Bullock Bring Back The Funny?

Well.....she's made The Proposal, so I'm willing to accept it & hope that it makes me laugh.

I first saw the trailer for this flick a few months ago in the theater, and I have to admit....I let out a small groan.

The concept just didn't seem all that fresh or creative. A mismatched couple who dislike each other, but pretend to love each other....in order to win a prize (her Green Card, his job).


We've all seen variations on this story before, good AND bad, but I'm willing to hold on to a glimmer of hope because Bullock is still one of my faves (even AFTER a long...very long...string of disappointing flicks).


I also really like the tagline: "Here Comes The Bribe"
(Just hope that's not the best part of the flick)

And....I must admit that I have always liked Ryan Reynolds. No, not just because of THAT.....


Yes, he is a cutie....but he is also very funny, charming and smart.



Hey, I happen to like that in a guy....even better in a leading man.

From the looks of the trailer, the two of them seem to have good chemistry. Sometimes that makes up for lack of originality in the script.

Sometimes.


I mean, don't we know that they're gonna end up together? Seriously, who are we kiddin' here? It's a romantic-comedy for goodness sake...with two very attractive leads, forced together in a somewhat silly quest.

Yeah, we know they're gonna be a couple in the end. Let's just hope the road getting there is as fun & charming as possible.

Speaking of fun, Betty White's supporting role looks to be pretty hilarious and against type. Let's just hope it's outrageous...but not uncomfortably so. Ya know what I mean?


Hey, granny sex jokes get old REAL quick.

I'm just sayin'.

OK, so I'm gonna give Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds and The Proposal a shot when it opens in theaters on June 19th.

Take a look at the trailer below and see what YOU think:




Oh yeah, before I forget -- I was tipped off that the Funny or Die website just posted a pretty funny, yet somewhat off-color "behind-the-scenes" video from The Proposal set.

There are more than a few choice curse words (bleeped out, I must add), and Betty White pretty much steals the show. If you're in the mood for something a little more funny & racy.....click the link below to head over to that site and check it out:

OK, that's all for now Movie Lovers -- as always, I love hearing your comments and feedback. Keep it comin'.
