The Proposal is a 2009 American romantic comedy film which is due to be released on June 19, 2009 under Touchstone Pictures. The film is directed by Anne Fletcher (Hairspray, Step Up 2) and written by Pete Chiarelli.

The film’s plot start revolves around the lives of a boss and her assistant. Working in an American book publishing company named Colden Books, executive editor-in-chief Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is about to be deported due of her being a Canadian. She also has a difficult and demanding attitude to her colleagues. When the bad news came to her, she immediately told the company that she will be marrying her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds). Andrew was then clueless of what is happening, but he went with it since Margaret is his boss. He also agreed but has set some conditions as well since he is giving Margaret a favor. Margaret came to this idea since Andrew is an American and that she can force him to lie so he can also keep his job. If she will marry Andrew, then that makes her also an American, however, she do not think of marrying him, it is just to lengthen the time to can find a way not being deported back to Canada and keep her Visa status in the United States. She loves her job and also she wanted to get the Editor position in the company.

When the government started investigating them as a couple, they are forced to spend the weekend to Andrew’s parents in Alaska to sell the lie. This is for them to prove that they are really going to be married. She then meets Andrew’s quirky and so hospitable family. She also has shared a lot of things with Andrew including his bed since his family does not have any idea of their plan and current situation. There she also has experienced being with a happy family. As the time they spend together, they already have started falling in love for each other. Then an on-the-spot wedding happened with the immigration official checking on them, they have nothing else to do but stick to their plan despite of the consequences.

The film was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) due to some nudity, sexual content and languages used.
