A happily-married young couple, David Murphy and Diana Murphy have started their respective careers, she as a real estate broker, he as an architect. She finds the perfect spot to build his dream house, and they get loans to finance it. When the recession hits, they stand to lose everything they own, so they go to Las Vegas to have one shot with their last $5000 at winning the money they need. After losing at the tables, they are approached by a suave billionaire and high-stakes gambler, John Gage, who offers them a million dollars for a night with Diana. Indignant but already seduced, Diana and David reluctantly agree. They say money can't buy love. Though the couple agrees that this is a way out of their financial dilemma, it threatens to destroy their relationship. Can the husband and wife survive John's ultimate test?
Leave your thoughts about Indecent Proposal.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie is ingenious in the way it surrounds its essentially crass subject matter with a camouflage of romantic scenery. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIt pulls us in on the nudge-nudge-wink-wink strength of its premise, but what it does with that premise is more than Hollywood usually manages. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonSparked a big cultural discussion, but doesn't resolve its central dilemma very well. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellMr. Lyne's films may not cast any new light on the human condition, but they do keep you glued to the screen. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIndecent Proposal should prove once and for all that Robert Redford can rescue even the dumbest movie, just by showing up and flashing that killer smile. |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea Beach'90s romantic drama has some explicit sex, profanity. |
| EmpirePhilip ThomasThe performances are alright enough but the casting was a bizarre choice and it's just not strong enough to carry the premise. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisI don't know if the film insults women, but it certainly insults its audience. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenNot once in the whole silly exercise does he approximate a genuine emotion. Unable to dramatize marital love, he sells it, as if he were pitching perfume. Having nothing credible to play, Moore and Harrelson strike poses of love and anguish. |
