Fun music to go along with the upbeat scenes. The mix between old and new music has a great appeal on all generations. Both soundtracks were done with a lot of thought and carful placement. Sandra Bullock plays a song female role in both movies. In The Proposal Margret is a very opinionated business women focused on herself. Unfortunately her character and Ryan Renaldo character did not seem as realistic desired. While there acting for the plot was believable the acting for the movie was less so.

When it comes to films, I feel as if the soundtracks make them what they are. A film in which I feel as if the soundtrack shapes the overall effect of the film is "Waiting to Exhale." Waiting to exhale was a movie about four African American women who were all through different things in their lives from men, their jobs and family. There friendship bonded all of the women together and when they got together the could just exhale everything that they have been holding in this whole time and just be themselves without having to worry about anything else.
