Yesterday as part of my “good son duties” I was forced to spend time with Lola watching THE PROPOSAL, or “the new Betty White movie” as she called it.
About halfway through, she asked who the leading man was.
“Ryan Reynolds,” I replied, all swoony and replete with the love for my man Ryan, the future Green Lantern.
“Are you sure?”
“Trust me, mom — it’s Ryan Reynolds.”
“Well, he’s a good looking man — I thought for sure it was Will Ferrell.”
*record scratch*
“Will Ferrell?”
“Oh God yes — that Will Ferrell is one hell of a hunk. Him and Lee Majors.”
We seriously need to get that cataract removed.
And her head examined.

***Dirk Mancuso Capsule Review: Somewhere in this predictable collection of romantic movie cliches there was a decent idea for a romantic comedy. Sadly, the scribe forgot both romance and comedy, as well as charcter development. (What was the point of Malin Ackerman’s 5 minutes of screen time? I still haven’t figured that one out.) If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen the best parts…which should tell you everything you need to know.
Disappointing news about The Proposal. I usually like Sandra Bullock romantic comedies. It’s a bitch to watch a movie that looks so good in the trailers only to find you’ve already seen the only good parts of the whole damn thing.

Lee Majors, Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. I think you should post pictures of the three of them so we can figure out what Lola looks for in a man. From what I can guess she likes bionic limbs, a sense of humor and is interested in Canadian residency.

I think Will Ferrell is totally hot.

From what I’ve heard of The Proposal, Ms Bullock’s character has to marry to avoid being deported. To Canada. Perhaps I’m missing something as I’m from Scotland, not the US, but having visited Canada twice, I can’t quite see that as being a terrible prospect.

I thought Lee Majors was a hunk, too. In 1974.
