The Proposal

This weekend I watched The Proposal with my husband and I really liked it. It has a really cute love story, and it's even funnier for me because I'm from Canada and know how crappy it is to deal with immigration stuff.

However....I feel there were quite a few scenes, and language, probably about half the movie....that they could have done without. Most of the scenes/comments etc. were of a sexual nature, which I did not appreciate, and I hate profanity, it just drives me nuts. If you can say the same thing without swearing, what's the point of swearing? It just makes you sound unintelligent, in my opinion. It's kind of sad, but that's pretty much what movies are like these days. I did like the movie, it was totally cute, and maybe I was more aware of sexual content since we just talked about it in class.........:)

  1. I agree. I could've completely done without the Male Exotic Dancer scene! As much as I love Oscar from The Office, I never want to see that much of him again!

  2. Loved it too BUT (there is always the big but)I agree that it would have been so much better without all the language and the sex stuff. Especially the Dancer scene-totally fast forwarded it because i couldn't handle it!

  3. ugh I hated that show...maybe it's because immigration is a sensitive topic for me. However, I actually found the exotic dancer part hilarious. Mostly because I have actually witnessed similar dance moves by my husband and you cannot watch that and not laugh! Like I said in class, sexual content has just gotten more hilarious to me since I've been married and that is just one example of why. See, I told you, Sarah!

  4. I LOVE this movie so much, it is one of my favorites! Thought it was really hilarious. I am probably desensitized to sexual content, and have to admit I would be very embarassed to watch it with my dad. :)
