What Parents Need to Know
About The Proposal
Parents need to know that this charming romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds has a much talked-about scene in which the leads, both naked, accidentally crash into and fall down on top of each other. But since it's rated PG-13, all that's shown is a tumble of skin. There's also plenty of innuendo, as well as couple of passionate kisses and a comical scene featuring a flabby exotic dancer in a G-string. Language is the basic PG-13 variety ("ass," "bitch," and "s--t" are the main offenders), and there's some social drinking and product placement.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this movie compares to other romantic comedies. What do most Hollywood "romcoms" tend to have in common? How is this one different (if it is)?
- Margaret isn't just Andrew's boss, but she's also clearly older thanhim. Is that a common scenario in romantic movies?
- The movie's trailerprominently featured the "naked fall" scene. Did knowing about that gagmake the scene any less funny? In general, do you think trailers giveaway too much, or just enough?

Great for adults - iffy for teenagers
My husband and I loved this movie. There is nudity and some language so I wouldn't want my young kids to see it but we thought it was hilarious. I would watch again.

Sad to see unnecessary nudity displayed. That and the language will keep me from buying it or ever watching it again. I was glad my husband and I watched it without children present.

Just fine for older kids.
A little too much semi-nudity for my taste. Wouldn't let younger kids watch it. BUT, very very funny on the other hand. Teaches about being honest.

- My highlights are:
Pretty funny and the grandma in the movie is hilarious. not very bad. the worst scene was the nude scene and it was very mild did not show anything. some pre-teens may not get some of the humor and it could get kinda boring for them
- I rate this title on for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
- My highlights are:
I loved this movie, though I think anyone younger than 12 would be bored by the length. It was good, though the sexuality was a little strong for PG-13, and the language wasn't terrible. Also, you see Sandra Bullock's bare chest in the mirror, which is probably the only really bad part. The bachelorette stripper party is milder than Bride Wars (PG) so overall it really wasn't too bad.

Funniest movie I've seen all year!
This was absolutely hilarious with both physical and cerebral comedy. The "nude" scene didn't really show anything and fit appropriately into the plot line.

Okay for mid-teens, but definitely not tweens.
"The Proposal" was a comical and sensitive movie, with scenes of romance, anger, awkwardness, and just plain hilarity. Though some of the themes (male strip tease) and language (sh-t) may be inappropriate for pre-teens, are nothing a mid-teen wouldn't know about. This movie was a great title, and I recommend seeing it when you are the proper age.

The blackmailing, lies, priorities, and lack of respect were bad examples for anyone. This movie does show what having family can mean to an individual. Too much skin is shown in several scenes. Some Language, the male stripper and a reference to a morning erection are very inappropriate.
- I rate this title on for age 13 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
- Inappropriate language
e.g. Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens
I liked it and thought it was cute. One part in particular was a little inapropriate, but the rest was ok other than a few swear words.
