“The Proposal” familiar as ring in wine Jun 20, 2009
The only other character of note in the film is Gertrude (Malin Akerman); although it s hard to even call her a character of note as Akerman s comedic talents are wasted in a role in which her character is woefully underdeveloped and, like Nelson and Steenburgen, given almost nothing to do. It s not all bad though as the dueling proposal stories told by Andrew and Margaret are a highlight in the aptly-titled film. (McKinney Courier-Gazette, TX)
