So, um, I don’t have an opening for The Holiday Proposal Plan. The title tells you what is going to happen. Let’s just get on with it.

Sonny (Tatyana Ali) is a travel columnist. When her best friend, Bree (Whitney Able), worries that her boyfriend, Jarod (Geovanni Gopradi), isn’t going to propose to her, Sonny teams up with her ex-boyfriend, Kip (Jesse Kove), to make the proposal happen.

The writers tried to make this plot more interesting by basing the entire scheme to get Jarod to propose around a worldwide vacation that Jarod and Bree were supposed to take. However, they just barely touch on any of the various traditions they were celebrating AND they chose all of the traditions that revolved around getting engaged or “choosing your prince.” If I was Jarod, I would have known what was up on day one and left. Not to mention, why would you want to get engaged to someone who doesn’t want to get engaged to you? Jarod and Bree obviously needed to work some things out. I don’t think they needed four friends to plan out engagement activities to hint that they should get engaged. This plot would have felt less icky if it were the guys planning all of these things in order to have a “cool” proposal while the women tried to figure out which of the guys wanted to propose. (Yes, Sonny and Kip are broken up in the beginning but they also bring in Jonathan (Mike Heslin) and Victor (Michael Sasaki) who are a couple but I don’t think are married.)

Rating: Even the worldwide trip sounded boring
