She's a Hollywood survivor who is smart, funny, not afraid to act wacky or look unattractive...
AND she enjoys working behind-the-scenes as much as in front.
Oh yeah....she's also currently riding a huge wave of success after her recent romantic-comedy flick The Proposal (which cost only $40 million to make....) just passed the $157 million dollar mark at the box office.
No, that's NOT a typo.
After 9 weeks in release....The Proposal has made $157+ million dollars.
In comparison, Night At The Museum 2 cost $150 million to make, and in 13 weeks has made $175 million.
Huh. Not bad girlie, not bad at all.
Especially for a former "It Girl" who many had written off as no longer bankable at the box office. I'm sure that some of those suits in La-La land were even waiting for her to announce a TV project.
That's where the former movie queens seem to be going nowadays...doncha know.
Nope, it seems our gal Sandra can still bring 'em into the theaters....she just has to be driving the right vehicle.
Well, looks like the next one for her is another romantic comedy, and this time she is once again starring with a handsome & younger leading man.
You go girl.
Lucky for Sandra, the guy (Bradley Cooper) is suddenly very hot after his recent turn in the mega-successful summer hit, The Hangover.
I've seen this trailer for the upcoming It's All About Steve a few times now, and each time it still makes me smile. Pseudo-stalker Sandra is quirky yet likable, TV reporter Thomas Haden Church looks smarmy yet funny and Bradley Cooper is......well, OK -- he's just plain hunkalicious.
(Gimme a break, I'm not dead!)
So click the movie title link here ----> All About Steve <---- to go to the official movie website. You can view the trailer there, then let me know what YOU think.
(Comments added below on my site are MUCH appreciated!)
The flick was originally supposed to open in theaters last spring, but studio bosses felt that there were too many romantic comedies scheduled for release around that time -- so it is now scheduled to open on September 4, 2009.
So....can Sandra do it again?
It may be All About Steve.....but as far as I'm concerned, Sandra's drivin' the bus.
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 somewhatoff-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:
