Movie Story

"The Proposal's" Sandra Bullock, Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church, and "The Hangover's" Bradley Cooper star in a hilarious tale of a woman who, after falling hard for a guy, thinks they're an item; unfortunately, he thinks she's stalking him!

Bullock's Mary Horowitz is a cruciverbalist - a crossword puzzle constructor. Her brain spins at warp speed with an endless stream of arcane information. She can come up with the perfect word - and dozens with the same meaning - at a moment's notice, but "normal" behavior eludes her.

Take, for example, the fact that she lives with eccentric parents. Or her inability to engage in social intercourse without dropping a litany of twenty-dollar words and unleashing a tsunami of trivia. Then, there's the matter of her omnipresent fire-engine-red go-go boots.

For Mary, nothing is typical, especially relationships. When she is set up on a blind date with handsome cable-news cameraman Steve, Mary thinks the chemistry is undeniable - that Steve is "the one." Steve, on the other hand, thinks Mary is crazy. Mary, who just knows she's found her soul mate, decides to do anything and go anywhere to be with him. She begins to pursue Steve relentlessly as he crisscrosses the country, covering breaking news stories.

Mary's escalating infatuation with Steve is encouraged by the self-serving actions of news reporter Hartman Hughes (Thomas Haden Church), who enjoys torturing his insolent cameraman at every opportunity. With Mary never far behind and Hartman urging her on, Steve becomes increasingly unhinged.

But when Mary becomes embroiled in the news story of the year, Steve and Hartman begin to see her differently. Hartman is plagued by guilt, knowing his game of one-upmanship with Steve has placed her squarely in harms way, while Steve is feeling his own pangs of remorse at his callous behavior. Despite the media storm surrounding her, Mary with her upbeat, unaffected manner brings together a small community of new friends. And all who encounter Mary will realize that sometimes the ones who don't fit in are the ones who really stand out.

This movie has a redeeming message and is suitable for kids and adults. It is about being different and being comfortable with who you are. This isn't the best movie ever, but I understand it, relate to it, and would watch it again with a bowl of ice cream.

Set up to be romantic comedy, then turns out to be a life message on being yourself and not having to fit into the social norm. Though it really lost in that the movie wasn't fluent, felt choppy, and was not funny for a good majority of the movie. There is very little character development and no real 'it' moment. Sandra Bullock you let me down.

It was TERRIBLE! Worst Bullock film to date. The story is not only flat but just a waste of time as played out. The jokes are beyond stupid and I am shocked a movie with SOOO many A-List Hollywood names sucks this bad. It is truly an awful awful movie. I wish I could get that hour back in my life (we walked out after an hour) it was THAT blahhhhhh
