The Proposal

There were several moments during this when I wanted to kill myself. Not that it’s bad. It’s just -– those rom-com moments. Man! Trying on the wedding dress, etc. Makes me cringe. Reynolds and Bullock have chemistry, there’s no doubt. And Reynolds does his best to keep the smart-alecky tone for as long as possible. But it eventually gives in, as it must I suppose, to the schmaltz. So the goodwill they earn in the first half fades away.
