The Proposal wins the box office

It's been 10 years since a movie starring Sandra Bullock won first place in a box office draw. The last time that happened, was the forgettable Forces of Nature co-starring Ben Affleck. Well, this time around it's a different pretty boy, same results. The Proposal stars Sanra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. The story is, Reynolds plays Bullock's assistant. When Bullock is almost shipped back to her native Canada after her visa expires, she pretends she's engaged to Reynolds so she can stay in the country... you imagine the rest of the movie when she has to meet his family.
