Congratulations, Sandy Bollocks


She's a smart one, that Sandy Bollocks.

Nicking off for a few years after The Lake House, Infamous, Premonition and...er... Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous were released to universal indifference, she's now got the biggest hit of her career with The Proposal.

She's not doing anything different, mind. The Proposal is com-com by numbers if ever you saw one (though better than the upcoming Ugly Truth, reviewed elsewhere on this site).

But seeing her again after a while, you sit in the movie thinking 'Awwww, bless Sandy. She's really quite good. I sort of missed her.'

Of course the truth is, you probably didn't. But if Bollocks can do one thing, she can make you love her. Always has done, always will do. And after a two year gap, that charm feels even more welcome.

She's warm, natural, pouty but not snooty. She's not the munter Miss Congeniality made her out to be, but at the same time she's not off-puttingly fit. She looks like the kinda girl you could have a drink with, shoot some pool and end up on a table doing air guitar to 'Sweet Child O' Mine'.

That's my kinda night, readers.

And going away has only made us believe that all the more. Welcome back Sandy Bollocks. You've made us think we missed you.
