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.
02/09/06
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.
03/25/03
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.
12/20/02
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 CriticHugh 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
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
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.
12/20/02
The movie is hardly a masterpiece, but it does mark Ms. Bullock's best work in some time.
12/19/02
The script seemed clever, or maybe it was just the way that Hugh Grant delivered his lines.
12/19/02
While the ending is a foregone conclusion, the journey is more clever than cute.
12/20/02
This is [Sandra] Bullock and [Hugh] Grant's show all the way, and they make the most out of a tried-and-true formula.
12/21/02
A perfectly likeable romantic comedy, containing not a single unforeseeable plot twist but featuring a good deal of witty dialogue and amusing interaction between the lead characters.
12/23/02
A pleasant romantic comedy.
12/20/02
I like Bullock. I like Grant. Script is serviceable. There have been far worse romantic comedies this year.
12/19/02
A romantic comedy that's both funny and warmhearted.
