  1. Negative review
    David Jenkins, Time Out They may as well have called this one 'Mis-Matched Sham Wedding Comedy #57513' for all the effort it makes to shake new life out of a tattered genre. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Anton Bitel, Film4 Despite some fine performances and pretty scenery, The Proposal is predictable yet incredible, and devoid of any consistent tone. Better call off that wedding. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Toby Young, Times [UK] One minute you're watching a 21st-century remake of His Girl Friday, the next you're having to endure some awful, dumbed-down "women's picture". Bullock deserves better. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] Sandra Bullock is teamed up with Ryan Reynolds, and each star's face has a waxy immobility that has nothing to do with Botox; the pure awfulness of the script has paralysed their facial muscles. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph The more recurrent noise towards the end was me groaning with disappointment, that a movie which had struck gold with its central matchmaking was succeeding so ruthlessly in taking the shine off. Full review External link
