Reaction: The Proposal

I knew Sean would like this flick...it has Betty White - of course he is going to dig it...
Though there are take aways in this movie...both things to do and things not to do....overall it was a good movie and Sean's review follows:
I like Sandra Bullock. I love Betty White. So, naturally… this movie gets an A+ in my book. This is quite possibly the most “guy friendly” chick flick in our challenge so far… And there are a multitude of lessons one can extract from this film, but none quite so obvious as (drum roll please)… HONESTY! Sandra Bullock’s character is about to be deported.. and to prevent that, she pretends to be engaged to Ryan Reynolds character. They have to convince both the immigration folks and their families of their “love.” As is often the case… one lie just leads to another. The Bible says “the truth will set you free.” – obviously the ultimate truth of Christ will set you free… but even beyond that, simply being honest with those we’re in relationship with – that will set you free too. By the time the movie is over, the characters seem to be completely imprisoned by all of their lies. Just as there often is in life.. there’s a breaking point in the film where the truth comes out.. and fortunately in this case, there’s forgiveness and reconciliation – and while you always hope for that in real life.. it’s not guaranteed. I came up with a phrase that we can all walk away with.. and it even rhymes. Ready? Here it is.. “honest is the best policy.” Ok, so maybe I didn’t come up with that, but whatevs… it’s good!
