Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Two Weeks Notice (2002): Dir: Marc Lawrence / Cast: Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock, Alicia Witt, Dana Ivey, Robert Klein: Boring romantic comedy that is about as much fun as a pap smear test. It is the kind of film where one brings sleeping pills in hopes that they put him to sleep before the film does. Title represents time factor for which Sandra Bullock claims to be working for Hugh Grant but it really indicates the limits before they come together. Bullock plays an attorney struggling to save a shelter. She refers to Hugh Grant who is in charge of the wreckage and hires her on his staff. She is not impressed. She is awakened by his bored phone calls, paged at a wedding ceremony, etc. This film is so boring that if the phone rang while two people viewed it then both would scramble to answer it. Director Marc Lawrence does an uninspiring job with this bland production. There is nothing romantic about it and all it really accomplishes is taking two appealing leads and making them as dull as possible devoid of charm. Grant does his best with his wit and charm but cannot pull his role above conventions. Bullock is starting to repeat herself with these embarrassing romantic roles. In supporting roles are Alicia Witt as his replacement with obvious intentions. Dana Ivey is also featured. This junk is without a shred of originality. Its screenplay consists of two weeks worth of garbage. Score: 1 / 10

Here's my feel-good, romance-comedy! :-)I had so many laughs, and it's understandable considering Hugh Grant stars in the movie, he's totally perfect for the "careless spender millionaire" role, and Sandra Bullock is amazing in her role "the perfect and idealized lawyer, not interested in the money, but in the community good"; they are the complete opposites, but they manage to create a "symbiosis" - and at one point even change themselves, in order to become a better version of themselves. Not surprisingly, it seems that in all the good love stories, people have to change - love introduces them to a better way of living. Not surprisingly I said, but I should've think twice before I've said it.

What a hoot - this has become a family favorite. Full of great little comedic elements and great acting by Bullock and Grant. I honestly cannot believe this has a 6!! Bullock plays a great by the book environmentalist lawyer and Grant is the wealthy, somewhat dense tycoon. They really have great chemistry and keep your smile on throughout the movie. As they work closer together, you can watch the walls go down and the huge differences of opinion fade, as humor greases the wheels. The "save the world" attitude of Bullock is further established by her parents, which add a nice accent to the meal, and make the tension between the two leads more palpable. There are several unforgettable scenes that become quotable and highlight an already entertaining movie.

Two Weeks Notice is a conventional story done in an unconventional way. The two characters are total opposite and yet, no real clashes happens. The movie even refrained from doing an over exaggerated introduction of them. They both are presented in strong terms, yes, but not over done.If you can't stand easy witty wordy humor like Hugh Grant so charmingly display in this piece, something he excels at, you better not watch it. It's those dialogs that propel this movie forward. He does it in an unpretentious earnest way, which is why Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) ends up working for him.The story is simple, the photography very good, and nothing is out of place. This film doesn't reinvent the genre, but it's a very well built offspring.See it for good entertainment.
