Two Weeks Notice

Pros: Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. Funny movie.
Cons: Some may find the movie too predictable.

I do like romantic comedies. I go see some in the theaters and I own some on DVD. I have been wanting to see Two Weeks Notice since I first saw previews for the movie. My best friend and I went to see it. We both really liked the movie,...

Pros: Bullock and Grant
Cons: Every single other aspect of the movie

In the life of every adult, there are simple, enjoyable things. Things that are enjoyable even though you know, deep down, that you shouldn’t be doing them. Eating jelly beans out of your daughter’s Easter basket when she isn’t home....

Pros: Bullock and Grant together
Cons: a little corny, unrealistic, fast-paced

The weekend before the Christmas holiday, one of my friends called me up to go out to dinner. It being a weekend when she doesn’t have her children, she was ready to go out and do something, rather than sit home. So we headed out to Olive Garden, and...

Pros: Little - Bullock and Grant deliver, but the script doesn't
Cons: Lots - Too much script wedged into too short of screentime

For a man, little else holds greater agony than a bad romantic comedy. You are caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of sitting in the theatre suffering in silence for the duration of the movie and opening your mouth and potentially suffering at the...

Pros: Grant, Bullock, some very funny moments
Cons: Only funny moments; not enough development of major or especially minor characters

I recently had an opportunity to view Two Weeks Notice*, the 2002 film starring veteran romantic comedy actors Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. I had heard underground rumblings that this movie didn't live up to its potential, but I decided it was ...

Pros: Fantastic Chemistry Between Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant.
Cons: The man and woman sitting behind me who kept talking throughout the movie.

Preamble
Squeeeeeeal! I've been looking forward to this movie for months and was thrilled when I had the opportunity to see the sneak preview tonight. Compared to every other romantic comedy out there - this is the one that you...

Pros: Film has funny moments, Grant and Bullock are solid in their roles
Cons: Haven't people had enough of Hugh Grant and his romantic comedies?

Many people will know by now that all Hugh Grant's strongpoint is acting in romantic comedies. This started off with the film, Four Weddings and a Funeral and it has branched off to other films such as Notting Hill and Mickey Blue...

Pros: Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock are both cute, parents
Cons: predictable, boring, lame love triangle

If I were really paranoid, I might think that Two Weeks Notice was Republican propaganda. Bland, formulaic, and predictable, to put it mildly, Two Weeks Notice is the story of a well-meaning lawyer named Lucy (Sandra Bullock) who ...

Pros: Funny, sweet, clever dialogue (which is sadly a rarity these days)
Cons: None

Hugh Grant seems to play himself in every film, and fortunately playing himself is something he does very well. (Well, okay, in this film he starts of reprising his charming villain role in Bridget Jones' Diary and finishes off as his charming nice guy ...

Pros: hilarious, with great onscreen chemistry
Cons: derivative and predictable premise

I wasn't prepared to like this film, particularly since its premise is so derivative of My Best Friend's Wedding. Both films are about a woman who doesn't want a man until he shows an interest in someone else. Yet, Two Weeks Notice charmed me from ...

Pros: Somewhat interesting premise, one classic line
Cons: Boring. Predictable, but that should go without saying on films like this.

***SPOLIER WARNING*** I'm told my analysis of this film gives away a few too many details about the plot. If you've not seen the film and intend on doing so, I'd suggest you leave now. Just for your benefit though, I'll give away the ending ...

Pros: An amusing contemporary romance
Cons: Characterization flaws, not much substance

This afternoon, my friend and I saw a matinee of Two Weeks Notice. While I also wanted to see Catch Me If You Can, we had just seen Gangs of New York the previous Friday and we were all Leo-ed out. I was looking forward to the movie and we hadn't seen...

Pros: Story flows, keeps you until the end, good cast
Cons: Payoff comes almost too late

This is my second romantic comedy in two weeks. Again, the wife and I scored a babysitter and zig zagged our way through the dangerous rains and winds and watched a sneak preview of Two Weeks Notice. This was on my wife's radar for quite some time...

Pros: Sandra Bullock at her best, a romantic comedy that actually has a storyline
Cons: A little too short, seems rushed near the end
