Review of The Proposal (2009) by Cambridge — 23 Jun 2017
As a publishing professional I absolutely loved this movie. It had me laughing from A to ... not quite Z, but W. - Whoever made the movie knew how to put in the in-jokes for 'bookpeople', and any office workers under a fearsome boss.
I loved the comedic timing, the great visual jokes and lines that you couldn't see coming. I also loved the reversal of roles throughout, showing up ridiculous, hurtful, minionizing ... behaviour by letting ladies act out such typical bad male behaviour and thus helping us with a bellybursting laugh to act on our instincts and agree that none of that behaviour is worth striving for.
The last 15% of the film became more wearisome, but I was very glad of a happy romantic ending.
