The Proposal
Starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Craig T. Nelson, and Betty White
Directed by Anne Fletcher
Rated PG-13


The Proposal is something of a unique crossroads for its stars. For Sandra Bullock, it is her umpteenth romantic comedy, and contrary to the perception, most of them haven’t done very well. Still, she remains an A-lister. For Ryan Reynolds, the film is another attempt at mainstream stardom, which is hard to figure given his leading man good looks and remarkable comedic timing.
So it stands to reason that if The Proposal is a failure, both Reynolds and Bullock might feel the sting of another movie that comes up short.
Fortunately for them, this is the best of Hollywood’s unoriginal, disposable romantic comedies this year, one that plays to both actors’ strengths and invests a little bit in its characters. That is, until the formula calls for a predictably dreadful conclusion.

Rocket Men, by Craig Nelson, will be published June 29 by Viking. On a muggy July morning almost 40 years ago, more than a million spectators descended on Merritt Island, Florida, to watch the launch of Apollo 11, the first manned mission to the Moon. This historic journey of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins is detailed in Craig Nelson’s new book, Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon (Viking, June 29).

Listen to the podcast after the jump.

Parenthood is produced by Universal Media Studios and Imagine TV and also stars Peter Krause, Erika Christensen, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson.
