Review of The Proposal (2009)

By David Stratton (799) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 16 Jun 2009

Review of The Proposal (2009)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 16 Jun 2009

All the romantic comedy conventions are shamelessly on parade in The Proposal, trampling on our brains and turning them into mush…
