An affable but undernourished romantic comedy that fails to match the freshness of the actress-producer and writer's previous collaboration, Miss Congeniality.

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 Critic[Grant] once again demonstrates himself to be the movies' unrivaled master of sophisticated verbal comedy.
12/19/02
A formulaic romantic comedy that never quite makes up for in charm what it lacks in originality.
12/19/02
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
Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant make a great team, but this predictable romantic comedy should get a pink slip.
12/19/02
Thin and utterly lacking in tension.
12/19/02
Two Weeks Notice has appeal beyond being a Sandra Bullock vehicle or a standard romantic comedy.
12/19/02
Like strangers who have been set up on a blind date, Grant and Bullock squirm their way through the exasperatingly inept Two Weeks Notice.
12/19/02
It's mindless junk like this that makes you appreciate original romantic comedies like Punch-Drunk Love.
12/19/02
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.
12/19/02
It's just not very smart.
12/19/02
Like a medium-grade network sitcom--mostly inoffensive, fitfully amusing, but ultimately so weightless that a decent draft in the auditorium might blow it off the screen.
12/18/02
Bullock and Grant, who made for memorable interviewees on the red carpet at last year's Oscars, are ying and yang personified. This is a couple who could form a franchise.
12/18/02
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.
12/18/02
As couples constitute the bulk of their audience, is it too much to suggest that romantic comedies occasionally cater to a broader demographic than deluded hetero women?
12/17/02
Unique dialogue and chemistry overcome the tedium of the oft-told tale. Grant & Bullock are both lovable.
12/17/02
What can I write about Two Weeks Notice that I haven't written about every mediocre romantic comedy to come down Hollywood's pipeline?
12/17/02
Predictable & witless, down to its moronically embarrassing toilet scene 'inspired' by adolescent comedies.
12/16/02
[Grant and Bullock] play off each other with nice timing and audience-pleasing verve.
12/16/02
Top CriticTwo Weeks Notice is a defiantly unoriginal film that attempts to coast on the putative charm and speculative chemistry of Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant.
