The Proposal (2009)
Sandra Bullock. Betty White. Ryan Reynolds. Craig T. Nelson. These are just four of the many, many reasons I would highly recommend watching The Proposal.
Sandra Bullock has made some less than spectacular career choices – some of which I couldn’t even sit through – but in The Proposal, the girl we all loved so much in Miss. Congeniality, While You Were Sleeping and The Lake House is back and the world is a more adorable place for it. Yes, Sandra plays an ice queen with seemingly no human emotion but she’s still endearing and lovable.
Then we have Ryan Reynolds. His comedic timing is spot on and he has incredible chemistry with Sandra. Betty White is always incredible as is the often underrated Craig T. Nelson.
Miss. Congeniality (2000)
There are so many things to love about Miss. Congeniality, I don’t even know where to start. Sandra Bullock is adorable. Benjamin Bratt is a babe. Candice Bergen is hilarious. William Shatner is… William Shatner. What more needs to be said about good ole Bill? The writing is witty and fun and Sandra Bullock is completely believable as Gracie Hart – the tough, gritty FBI agent that has to act like a beauty queen to prevent a terrorist group from bombing the pageant. Will she save the day? Well, of course, but it’s fun watching her go through the trials and tribulations along the way.
Candice Bergen might be one of my all time favorite actresses. She’s always so hilarious. She instantly makes any movie she’s in better and Miss. Congeniality is no different – and it was already a darn good movie.
Plus Benjamin Bratt. Did I mention he’s gorgeous? No? Well he is. Mmm.
The Lake House (2006)
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock together again and this time, in a proper love story. I loved them in Speed. They had such amazing chemistry and that’s true of The Lake House as well.
The Lake House is a classic love story with a twist, which I’ll leave for you to find out by watching the movie. What I will stay is both Sandra and Keanu give incredible performances. You believe that they’re in love and you genuinely want them to find a way to be together.
