:D It made me feel kinda bouncy and gleeful ['cept for the 'bad' section, of course] so yay for sharing the joy with you! Omg, The Proposal is such a brilliant movie- I was afraid to see it because I thought it would be like all those other rom-coms which constantly humiliate the main characters and engage in lame-brained zero-amusement crass jokes [which, I guess, would be the scene with the 'strip tease', ugh, lowest point of the movie, but I still chuckled a little *guiltyface* JUST A LITTLE, MIND YOU] but this was totally a 10/10, I love it so much!
Also, you know how in these movies, one of the characters always has to make a gigantic gesture to prove their love? It's a compulsory scene in this genre, usually utterly ridiculous and cringeworthy [Made of Honor comes to mind] but it was pulled off well here. It wasn't some unrealistic, far-fetched move here, just a guy in an office, trying to convince the woman he loves to be with him. No gimmicks. Niiiice.
They handled the other relationships well, too- I liked seeing the parents, and how his gruff, antagonistic father eventually came around to his POV. That was done so well- they nearly came to blows earlier on, and then he pretty much sabotaged the romance and then the sympathy when he realized what his son had lost...I thought it was hilarious when the mother and grandmother were all like 'if she didn't love him, she wouldn't have left' and he's just bewildered, 'THIS MAKES NO SENSE', hee. Poor guy, it's the sort of thing women instinctively grasp and males are confounded by. *g*
OMG, the scene with the dog and the eagle! 'Take the dog, take the dog!' And the mother and grandmother think it's so cute how she's playing with the pet when really she's trying to feed it to an eagle, lmao. This movie's so awesome!
