My Unreliable Review of The Proposal
30 July 2009
A couple nights ago, I went to see The Proposal with my friend, Kelli. It was the first time I’ve been to the movie with a girl friend in years. I think the last time was high school. I went with my friend Ashley, but it was so long ago I can’t even remember what we saw. Kelli’s a working mom too, so it actually took both of our husbands nagging us for about a month before we finally got out of the house to see the movie that seemingly everybody I know has been raving about.
I expected to be disappointed. (My pessimistic nature rears its head once again.) But seriously. Haven’t we all experienced that thing where everybody is talking about how good something is, then you read/watch it expecting to be wowed but wind up underwhelmed?
I don’t know that my review can be trusted (maybe it was just the euphoria of being at a girl-movie with a fellow-girl), but I thought The Proposal was hilarious. I laughed all through it, I loved the characters, and the ending was sweet and satisfying. Definitely worth seeing.
As a side note, one of the movie previews was New Moon. When it started, about half the girls in the theater went, “Woo-woo!” While I didn’t “Woo-woo!” aloud, I did “Woo-woo!” in my mind. Hurry up, November!
As another side note, don’t forget to head to Erica Vetsch’s blog where you have a chance to win a free copy of Me, Just Different. Just one more day until she draws the name.
Happy Thursday everyone!
I soooooo want to see this! Commence sweet-talking now. I must either (a) convince my hubby to take me or (b) convince him to stay with the kids while I go with the girls. =)
