I've seen my fair share of drama animes to know what a good drama should have. "The Proposal" being a drama/comedy is pretty good imo.
The story of this movie is about this book editor (Let's call her Jane) who is getting deported back to her home country "Canada" and she does not want to. So to keep herself from getting deported she asks her assistant (Let's call him John) to marry her. Then the most of the movie is them going to the John's family reunion in Alaska.
The movie is basically supposed to be a drama/comedy, however, although there is some drama, it is mostly comedy throughout the movie. The acting was pretty convincing although I don't think the characters acted naturally if that made any sense. I meant that it felt as if there were a lot of forced lines and didn't feel like what the character would have really said/done.
The funny parts were well, okay. There is this re-occurring character this is used for comedic relief, I was okay with this character. The other funny parts would be things that are really out of the ordinary.
As for the sad parts, they are pretty predictable and not really all that sad. Well then again, a drama, wouldn't be a drama if there wasn't any drama.
Overall the story is pretty solid, got some good scenery shots of Alaska and New York so that was pretty cool. As for the musical score, it was pretty average, it was pretty natural for most of the movie.
The ending pretty much ended on a high note but I still wished they added like maybe 30 more minutes just so we have more of a closure. The credit extra footage was pretty entertaining, but it still was not enough closure.
The Proposal is a pretty solid movie, I think anyone can easily get into it, maybe not kids but it's short length probably wouldn't bore them.
3.4/5
