Consensus: Though Two Weeks Notice has nothing new to add to the crowded genre, Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock make the movie a pleasant, if predictable, sit.
Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins
Genre: Comedies
Synopsis: Millionaire George Wade (HUGH GRANT) doesn’t make a move without Lucy Kelson (SANDRA BULLOCK), his multi-tasking Chief Counsel at the Wade Corporation. A brilliant attorney with a strategic mind,... [More]
Starring: Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock, Alicia Witt, Dana Ivey
Director: Marc Lawrence
Structurally, the film's off-kilter. The start of the relationship is rushed through, while the supposedly crucial notice period feels increasingly directionless. Which leaves the comic strand - and that, by and large, delivers.
Top CriticMuch of the reason for the film’s success is down to the pairing of Grant and Bullock, and it’s easy to see how the film could have been a leaden disaster in the hands of blander actors.
Top CriticThe spark isn't there and the soufflé doesn't rise.
Top CriticSomething of a disaster -- it isn’t funny and, though both stars try their best, there’s precious little actual story there for them to work with.
This film is proof positive that Bullock and Grant can make any film watchable and entertaining, no matter how ineptly made it is.
According to the script, Grant and Bullock's characters are made for each other. But you'd never guess that from the performances.

Bullock is as adorable as she always is and acts well off of Grant; they have great chemistry together and make this an entertaining tale to watch.
Two icons of romantic comedy team up for the first time, and the result is a fizzle.
Bullock and Grant, like the viewing audience, appear to be waiting for some memorable payoff that Lawrence fails to come close to delivering.

Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock basically play their patented movie selves in this overly familiar romantic comedy about corporate greed, social responsibility, personal promises and budding love.
Light, fluffy, and enjoyable.
Hugh Grant's witty delivery of throwaway lines and Sandra Bullock's clumsy sincerity appeal to me. I hope their first on-screen pairing isn't their last.
Comédia romântica formulaica e sem graça que traz Grant e Bullock repetindo seus tipos habituais. Os clichês se amontoam e irritam.
Despite Bullock's comic flair and Hugh Grant's charming turn as a bumbling billionaire, they can't carry this romantic comedy just on witty repartee.
...routine, harmless diversion and little else.

So much promise, so little follow-through.
They may not be history's most predictable pairing but Bullock and Grant turn out to be a natural fit, in an Odd Couple kind of way.
