No, I wasn't talking about my own proposal. I don't foresee that in my near future. What I was referring to is the new movie starring Sandra Bullock and Betty White. I remember there’s a guy too, but he’s hardly important. The only relevant people are Betty and Sandra, in that order.
Sure, Betty may be the old grandma, but she definitely steals the show. As many young and blissfully ignorant youngsters today are unaware of, Betty is in fact a legendary actress, among the ranks of Dame Judi Dench, Meryl Streep and Maggie Smith. Betty is known for her dark streak behind that innocent façade, and she uses this perfectly in the movie. The emotion she manages to convey work beautifully, but of course, with decades of experience behind her, she probably already knows it will.
On to the story. The plot focuses on how dominatrix boss Sandra forces Ryan to marry her, so she can avoid deportation back to Canada. Madcap adventures are encountered by them as they head to Ryan’s parents’ place (a gigantic ‘place’, I might add) and try to pass off as a real couple. Hot on their heels is this annoying asshole who needs to check if their marriage is real, in order to grant them their marriage license. You would think he’d have better things to do.
The absolutely most hilarious part is when Sandra gets dragged by Betty to do an Earth worship chant around a bonfire. Sandra goes completely nuts and loses all her inhibitions as she boogies to ‘Get Low’ with the old granny (poor thing, doesn’t know what she got herself into). That scene alone makes the admission worth the price. Other notable parts include the lie they tell about how Ryan proposes, with both of them trying to outwit each other, and the part where they run into each other naked.
The movie also has its heartwarming moments. The scene when Betty gives Sandra a necklace (which was given to Betty’s grandma) almost made me tear up. Sandra was so overwhelmed with the guilty of knowing what she has done will eventually devastate the family, and almost reveals her plan.
It was an incredible, amazing experience to have such fun in the cinema, laughing with everyone. Kinda like a family watching a movie together, except the only person’s name I know there is Damian. And James, naturally, since that’s my own name, but.. You get what I mean.
Overall verdict: Not the most original movie, nor will it win any Oscars, but its definitely the funniest movie I’ve seen in a long time.
