The Proposal Movie Review

I thought this movie was hilarious.  Boy, I haven't laughed that much in a movie theater for a while.  I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

The movie is about Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) and Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds).  Ryan is trying to make it as an editor after writing his manuscript, and he works for Margaret as a secretary.  His life is insane with being an assistant to Margaret.  He complains about how he hates his job because of it, but because of his ultimate goal to become an editor, he toughs it out.

Margaret is called by her superiors because they were informed that Margaret visa has expired.  Originally from Canada, she simply tries to play it off saying that she will simply renew, but the superiors state that she needs to be out of the US for about a year before she can come back again, meaning that she would be replaced.  Unwilling to go back to her country, Margaret grabs her assistant Andrew and says that they are getting married.  (You can see where this is headed).

Andrew knows that Margaret need him for his visa.  This was a good opportunity to ask her to publish his manuscript and also make him an editor.  The deal was sealed.  Margaret gets a green card and Andrew gets to be an editor.

They both fly to ------- (find out by watching) to meet Andrew's parents.  Margaret can see the close bonds between the family and misses it because ----------- (watch it, really!).  Find out the rest by watching the movie.  I don't want to spoil it for you =D

Here is a great scene of both Ryan and Sandra pretty clothes-less.

Watch this movie and more on redbox.com when it comes out, and netflix.com...also when it comes out.  (Links will be posted when DVD is out).

I Love You, Man Movie Review

I Love You, Man is a comedy movie about Peter Klaven looking for a best man for his wedding.  Peter is about to get married to Zooey and he is in desperate need to get a best man.  The only problem is that he has many girl friends, but not that many guy friends.
What was suggest to him for a solution was to go out on a "man date."  His first few are a disaster, but he eventually finds Sydney Fife (yes, he is a man).

Although there are some funny scenes, overall it was not that funny.  It made me kind of squirm to watch someone so awkward.  This movie is very predictable, and the drama is really not there as well.  It is funny to see two guys do very friendly things like hanging out and ditching the girls, but overall not worth it for me.

Genre: Comedy
Rating: 2.5 of 5

17 Again

So this movie is about Mike O'Donnell wanting to turn back time to change things in the past. He gets a girl pregnant and throws away his college career to take care of her and the baby. He is going through a divorce so he wants to escape it all and go back to when he was 17 (hence the movie title). So a janitor who has the ability to turn back time for an individual gives Mike a chance to go back to the past and relive his high school life all over again. When he is there, he thinks that in order to turn time forward, he needs to help his kids succeed in high school (preventing his daughter from getting pregnant, and making sure that his son gets on the basketball team). His ultimate goal is to get his wife to love him again.

So, I remember Zac Efron from high school musical. The sweet little boy who was starting his career singing to a musical. Sure all the girls loved him, but he was out of sight, out of mind for me. Then I saw this movie and I said, "I'm not going to watch that movie" but sure enough I did. I wish I had a body like him. The little kid I knew from high school musical is no more. He is this ripped out man (not boy, haha). What does it take to get that kind of body. Gym 3 times a week? Every other day? 3 times a day?

Also, Matthew Perry (The adult of Mike O'Donnell) was in this movie to. He aged (I'm sad). He's older now, but I hope he is doing better. (Picture order is Older / Younger)
