The Proposal Review – Betty White rocks.it.out.
June 23, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Movie: The Proposal * Official Site | In Theaters: June 19, 2009 |
Runtime: 107 minutes | Directed by: Anne Fletcher |
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, nudity and language | Gecko Rating: |
The interesting thing about “The Proposal” is that it’s produced by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the team behind TV shows like “Fringe” and “Alias,” and movies like “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Star Trek,” and “Eagle Eye.” And then along comes “The Proposal,” and you’re going, that seems weird. It’s a romantic comedy amongst these other action projects.
But it works. Maybe that edginess is just what a romantic comedy needs to keep it from being mundane. Well, that and Betty White. At 87 years old, that girl rocks every line and steals every scene. I adore Betty White.
Betty White talks sluts on Chelsea Lately

I LOVE Betty White! I just saw “The Proposal” today, and that movie would have been just another romantic comedy without Betty. On Chelsea Lately this week, she talked sluts, boobs, and Golden Retrievers.
Ryan Reynolds talks beekeeping on David Letterman

Ryan Reynolds has been out and about promoting his new movie, “The Proposal” (which is fabulous, by the way, but I snuck into the theater and only saw the last hour, so I’ll see the whole movie and post a review this weekend). On David Letterman the other night, Reynolds talked about being married to Scarlett Johansson and his beekeeping hobby. Yes, bees.
Sandra Bullock loves getting naked with Ryan Reynolds
June 10, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I’m almost afraid to see “The Proposal,” because I’ll be coveting Sandra Bullock so much when she gets naked with Ryan Reynolds. In the movie, she plays a driven book publisher who blackmails her assistant, played by Reynolds, into marrying her.
In an EOnline interview, Bullock (pictured, at her David Letterman appearance this week), says the naked scene was completely scripted and choreographed.
“I give all hats off to [director] Anne Fletcher, because she’s brilliant. It became very technical. It was like a dance. It was like we were doing ‘All That Jazz.’ But if you use what’s on your body as a joke — my nakedness — and then you have another body that’s rock hard…”
No, not THAT kind of hard! Bullock was quick to qualify her statement. “Ryan is rock hard, but no no no no, nothing was hard. I’m sure it gets hard, but not that time, and it was all fine. I mean, I wouldn’t know if he had anything down there because I never looked! Anyway, when my soft face, hit his rock-hard abs, there’s going to be a cause and effect.”
I’ve loved Sandra Bullock since her “Speed” days; such a great sense of humor and down-to-earth quality about her. Read the full interview here, where Bullock talks about her butt, boobs, and the awesomeness of Betty White. “The Proposal” hits theaters June 19, 2009.
