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 42 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 CriticThe 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.
According to the script, Grant and Bullock's characters are made for each other. But you'd never guess that from the performances.
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.
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.
Top CriticTwo icons of romantic comedy team up for the first time, and the result is a fizzle.
Feels like three. But Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock have some wonderful moments together, as the airhead boss and the drudge who becomes a swan.
Unique dialogue and chemistry overcome the tedium of the oft-told tale. Grant & Bullock are both lovable.
[Grant] once again demonstrates himself to be the movies' unrivaled master of sophisticated verbal comedy.
'Es la típica película romántica que se puede disfrutar si se entra a la sala sabiendo que se van a ver clichés y el típico final feliz'
The film is more perky than actually funny.
What can I write about Two Weeks Notice that I haven't written about every mediocre romantic comedy to come down Hollywood's pipeline?
The picture hobbles along using the considerable charisma of its stars as a crutch. But we've all seen Grant's bewildered byronisms & Bullock's cute-'n-clumsy routine before.
A formulaic romantic comedy that never quite makes up for in charm what it lacks in originality.
Bullock and Grant are perfectly paired in Two Weeks Notice. The script allows the two actors to be at their comedic best, even though the film as a whole is amateurish in many ways.
A really tired affair.
Thin and utterly lacking in tension.
Two Weeks Notice will find its audience of middle-class women infatuated with the Pretty Woman fantasy of Richie Rich finding the needle of gold in the dishevelled haystack.
Even more than last week's Maid in Manhattan, this week's New York comedy is saved from strain by actors it's tough not to like.
