What to Watch: 'The Proposal,' 'Madea Goes to Jail' DVD, 'Sundogs'

Comments (0)


Sandra Bullock returns to the big screen as a cougar publishing executive who forces her young male assistant to marry her in 'The Proposal.'

When high-powered book editor Margaret (Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant, Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Out on Blu-ray and DVD is Tyler Perry's biggest grossing film to date, 'Madea Goes to Jail.' The film made more than $90 million at the box office.

After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea (Perry) in front of a judge, her reprieve is short-lived as anger management issues get the best of her and land her in jail. A gleeful Joe (Perry) couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members, the Browns (David and Tamela Mann), rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support.

Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke) is on the fast track to career success. But when he lands a case too personal to handle -- defending young prostitute and former drug addict Candace Washington (Kesha Knight Pulliam) -- he asks his fiancée, Linda Holmes (Ion Overman), to fill in on his behalf. When Candace ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can.

Out on Blu-ray are two inspirational, true-life tales of underdog sports heroism, now with amazingly immersive high definition picture and sound, plus hours of thrilling bonus features. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment proudly presents the beloved sports dramas 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' and 'Miracle.' Hollywood favorite Kurt Russell gives a moving performance as the dynamic and determined hockey coach Herb Brooks, who led twenty ordinary kids to an unlikely victory against the Russians at the 1980 Olympics in 'Miracle,' while Shia LaBeouf stars as amateur golfer Francis Ouimet, a working-class youth, who shocked the world by defeating golf pro Harry Vardon in the 1913 U.S. Open Championship.


From the sun-kissed beaches and tropical paradise of Jamaica comes a story of second chances in 'Sundogs.' Rescued from the mean streets and animal shelters of Kingst,12 stray dogs are trained to be the stars of Jamaica's first dog sled racing team. The crew, spearheaded by pop superstar Jimmy Buffett, brings the unlikely meeting of a traditionally snow-bound sport to the sand and surf.
