The Proposal
The middle rounds aren't kind to The Proposal. But put it in a final, and it becomes one of the tougher matchups on the platform. At 47% overall, it's deceptive. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds carrying a rom-com on chemistry alone, which is exactly what the genre demands and exactly what limits it in a bracket. Charm gets it through the door; the script doesn't give it enough to stay. Among Anne Fletcher's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it. Voters pick in 1.7s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
When she learns she's in danger of losing her visa status and being deported, overbearing book editor Margaret Tate forces her put-upon assistant, Andrew Paxton, to marry her.
Something happens between the semis and the final. At 27%, The Proposal looks beatable. At 64% in the final, it suddenly isn't. The later rounds concentrate the audience that cares most.
Against When Harry Met Sally..., The Proposal wins only 25%. Some matchups simply don't go your way. The Fall Guy causes similar problems at 33%.
The Valentine's Day Showdown 2026 final — The Proposal vs. Notting Hill — lands at 60%. A clear but not overwhelming edge.
The Proposal leads Anne Fletcher's filmography on BingeBracket, though only 2 films are tracked so far. Hocus Pocus 2 at 38% is the comparison point.
