FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

The Proposal

Rating: 7

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Betty White, Craig T. Nelson, Mary Steenburgen

Plot: Bullock is an up-tight tyrant of a boss who threatens her younger underling (Reynolds) into a proposed marriage of convenience in order to keep from being deported. The movie mostly takes place in Sitka, Alaska where they go to meet Reynold's well-to-do family. Betty White is an upbeat, fun-loving grandmother. While the movie won't get any Academy Awards and the ending is pretty predictable, I thought it was good entertainment. The scenery was great and I ended up liking most of the good folks of Sitka.
