Much 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.

Reviews for Two Weeks Notice
Top CriticStructurally, 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 CriticAccording to the script, Grant and Bullock's characters are made for each other. But you'd never guess that from the performances.
01/16/03
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.
02/08/03
The spark isn't there and the soufflé doesn't rise.

Top CriticThis film is proof positive that Bullock and Grant can make any film watchable and entertaining, no matter how ineptly made it is.
01/30/03
In the romantic comedy department, Two Weeks is smarter than it needs to be.

Top CriticThey 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.
03/07/03
Top CriticA tepid romantic comedy that strains not only credulity but patience.
12/20/02
The audience at the theater could be heard in a collective yawn.
12/19/02
Hugh Grant just grins and grins as if to explain that he knows the material isn't up to par and he's just along for the ride.
12/23/02
A formulaic romantic comedy that never quite makes up for in charm what it lacks in originality.
12/19/02
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.
08/21/03
the perfect date movie, a light, breezy romantic comedy with more believable characters and genuine charm than its chief competition, Maid in Manhattan.
12/20/02
Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant make a great team, but this predictable romantic comedy should get a pink slip.
12/19/02
A charming, banter-filled comedy... one of those airy cinematic bon bons whose aims -- and by extension, accomplishments -- seem deceptively slight on the surface.
12/23/02
Basically 'The Sandra and Hugh Show,' with the two increasingly forgettable actors coasting on what remains of both their respective personas for a full 90 minutes of dreadful comedy. Even Jackass had better conceived characters than this film.
12/23/02
This is a charming fantasy, that would still be entertaining after you've seen it a few times - once on the big screen and then later at home with some good Chinese take out.

Bad news: Donald Trump is in Two Weeks Notice, and he's not even the most annoying thing in the movie.
