	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The Proposal is a movie about a couple who start out hating each other and end up liking each other. It's a funny thing about that. I started out hating the movie and ended up liking it. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Like most Hollywood romantic comedies these days, The Proposal is all about bringing a woman to her knees. (...) Ms. Bullock, who excels at playing spunky, is as appealing as usual, but the role proves as awkward as those heels."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The latest cinematic definition of insipid is 'The Proposal', a romantic comedy so numbing it feels like Novocaine. (...) Only Betty White as someone’s nut job grandma cuts through the plot inertia. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)."	NEG
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"Charming,   traditional romantic comedy (...) The chemical energy between Bullock and Reynolds is fresh and irresistible."	POS
Spain	FilmAffinity	"The Proposal" took the #1 at the weekend US Box Office, with $34.1 million, becoming her best first weekend of Sandra Bullock's career until 2009. Total Domestic Gross: $163 million.	DIS
