Buzz In: Which Elderly Actors Should Get More Roles?
It has been a real treat to see Betty White out and about promoting her new movie The Proposal. She's a hilarious talk show guest and she's the best part of this viral marketing clip. She is also quite the scene stealer in the movie itself and gives one of the performances that helps to save the rom-com from mediocrity.
The Proposal: A Predictable Journey But Funny Along the Way
The story in The Proposal is relatively predictable at every turn, and the basic plotline is tired at best: two people who dislike each other are forced together and feelings blossom between them (to their surprise but not ours). Even just from the previews for this movie we know where the story is going from the very beginning, but before we reach the inevitable conclusion, The Proposal offers up some cute/funny/surprising things along the way.
The story follows ice-queen publishing executive Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) who is a demanding and sometimes cruel boss to her handsome, hard-working assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds).

Movie Preview: Sandra and Ryan in The Proposal
Just trust me on this: Ignore the dumb-looking poster for The Proposal and head straight to the new trailer. The romantic comedy stars Sandra Bullock as Margaret, the Canadian-born, hard-driving boss of Andrew (Ryan Reynolds — adorable!) who learns that she is about to be deported. Desperate to stay in the States, she forces Andrew to marry her.
"I'm Betty White, B*tch!"
You tell him, Rose! This clip features two of my favorite people in one spot together! Betty White, Golden Girl extraordinaire, with Craig Ferguson (whose Scottish brogue I could listen to forever).
