According to the script, Grant and Bullock's characters are made for each other. But you'd never guess that from the performances.

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.

Reviews for Two Weeks Notice
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.

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
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 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 CriticIt's just *there.*
12/21/02
A 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
Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant make a great team, but this predictable romantic comedy should get a pink slip.
12/19/02
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
Bad news: Donald Trump is in Two Weeks Notice, and he's not even the most annoying thing in the movie.
12/20/02
Not even Grant's shoulders are broad enough to lift a scattershot script that defies explanation in any sort of linear way.
12/20/02
Writer and director Marc Lawrence keeps the film whistling along at such a giddy and relentless sitcom pace that you tend to overlook the fact that the leads have all the chemistry of a blind date.
12/19/02
Instead of focusing mostly on the budding relationship between the two leads, the movie throws in useless subplots and needless distractions when all we really want is to see Grant and Bullock fall in love.
01/10/03
An affable but undernourished romantic comedy that fails to match the freshness of the actress-producer and writer's previous collaboration, Miss Congeniality.
12/19/02
Top CriticSo routine, familiar and predictable, it raises the possibility that it wrote itself as a newly automated Final Draft computer program.
