Proposal, The


Synopsis
Sandra Bullock is at her funniest in the fresh, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy The Proposal. On the verge of being deported and losing the high-powered job she lives for, the controlling Margaret announces she's engaged to her unsuspecting, put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds). After proposing a few demands of his own, the mismatched couple heads to Alaska where they have four short days to convince his quirky family and a very skeptical immigration agent that their charade is real.

Georgia is fed up and ready to give up - until her new confidant Irv (Dreyfuss) opens her eyes and heart to a simple fact: There's no finer way for a woman to find her kefi (a.k.a. mojo) than to lose herself in the arms of the "Greek god" (Alexis Georgoulis) who's been hiding right under her nose!

This magical collection includes several different "viewing modes" that can be adjusted to engage toddlers or older preschoolers.

Lies & Illusions



Christian Slater stars as the comical protagonist, a weakling self-help author. Wes Wilson (Slater) wrote a best-selling book about finding love and he thinks that this has worked for him. He is engaged to Samantha (Sarah Ann Schultz) when they are suddenly attacked one night. This portion of the plot seems directly stolen from the far superior Tell No One. When Wes awakes he assumes that Samantha was killed. A year later he inherits her belongings as per her will. At this point he discovers that Samantha may be alive and that she was some sort of skilled thief or spy.
Wes has started dating a woman named Nicole (Christa Campbell) when Samantha returns, but the bigger problem is a criminal that is looking to collect on stolen diamonds. Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as the deadly criminal in yet another terrible straight-to-video disaster. The acting is all pretty bad, and even when Cuba Gooding Jr. is the best actor in the bunch, he makes the worst choices for projects.

After witnessing the brutal murder of his parents as a young boy, Chance Templeton (Rick Yune - The Fast and the Furious, Die Another Day) is taken in by a ruthless killer (Keith David - Dirty, Crash) and raised to follow in his footsteps.
