The Proposal is one of the timeless romantic comedies of the 2000s, and there are many other movies like The Proposal for fans of the romcoms. Released in 2009, the movie follows the story of Margaret Tate, a high-powered book editor who must fake an engagement with her assistant, Andrew Paxton, to avoid deportation to Canada. As they head to Alaska to visit Andrew’s family, the duo’s initially contentious relationship starts to soften, unfolding into a series of comedic and romantic misadventures. The Proposal masterfully combines two beloved rom-com tropes: the enemies-to-lovers narrative and the fake-dating/marriage storyline.
