1. It's kind of a geek's dream cast. Ryan Reynolds may have been in some bad movies, but he's always hysterical, and that includes his turns in X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Deadpool and Blade: Trinity as Hannibal King. What can we say, we're superhero groupies. Add in crime-fightin' Malin Akerman (Watchmen's Silk Spectre) in a smaller role, and time-travelin' Mary Steenburgen (Back to the Future III and Time After Time) as Reynolds' mom, and it's like the movie was cast by sci-fi nerds.

2. We love Betty White. We've always adored her, even when she was guest-starring on My Name is Earl, and the constant re-runs of Golden Girls that have been playing in the wake of Bea Arthur's death have only made us realize it all the more. As Reynolds' grandmother, White tries to hand down her wedding dress to Sandra Bullock, only to find out she was a lot bustier back then than Bullock is now. White groping Bullock is comedy gold, even if they first did that joke in Sixteen Candles. (It's a classic!)

3. Oscar the stripper? Oscar Nunez's deadpan performance as long-suffering, straight-laced gay accountant Oscar Martinez is one of our favorite things about The Office. So the sight of him as a Chippendales-style exotic dancer -- apparently, he's the most exotic stripper you can get in Alaska -- has us dying to see how the scene plays out. We're going to guess awkwardly.

4. It actually looks semi-raunchy. After the laugh-riot that was The Hangover, we (and America!) are looking for the next gross-out comedy, and The (Indecent) Proposal might be it. Although it's only rated PG-13, the groping, stripping, accidental nudity and Reynold's understated boner joke ("It's the morning!") makes this look fairly racy, given the subject matter and presumed target audience. Maybe it'll be The Hangover for girls?

5. We'll admit it -- we actually like Sandra Bullock. Not necessarily all of her movies, mind you, but her frantic, high-energy humor definitely has its charm, and we've wanted to see her in something watchable for quite some time now. Speed is a classic, Two Weeks Notice wasn't bad, and the Miss Congeniality franchise has its supporters, but maybe now that she's playing the older woman to Reynolds' young stud, we'll start seeing her in some edgier roles. We may not see it in All About Steve, but give her time.

What do you think -- will you go see The Proposal?
