movie review

the story “‘The Proposal’ is too predictable | 2 stars” by Sharon Hoffman in the Star is a review of the film “The Proposal” with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds presents a negative opinion. Hoffman begins the piece with an attention-getting rhetorical question that compares Bullock with Matthew McConaughey. her next paragraph introduces the film, and the third tells Hoffman’s opinion of the film in a nutshell. the next ten paragraphs explain the plot of the movie with some comments sprinkled throughout, and she finally briefly compares it to other romantic comedies, finding this film underwhelming.

this seems like a good outline for a review of a film. i occasionally find problems with Hoffman’s negative opinion, finding them a bit cruel, and i think the review somewhat gives away the ending by saying the ultimately, opposites attract. other than that, however, it is a perfectly fine review.
