 `Two Weeks' takes two great actors and creates one great movie... April 8, 2008

Take an actor that's good at playing the self centered womanizer; take an actress who's good at playing the lonely tomboy; give them a script that utilizes their strengths and pairs it with witty and fresh dialog and what do you have? I'll tell you what you have; you have one extremely funny, and rewarding, cinematic experience. `Two Weeks Notice' does just that. It pairs the very `British' Hugh Grant with everyone's favorite `train wreck' Sandra Bullock and it allows the two of them to play off one another brilliantly.
Sandra Bullock has been quoted as saying that she is in no hurry to film another romantic comedy because she has already filmed the perfect one; `Two Weeks Notice'. I have to agree (although I thought `While You Were Sleeping' was equally `perfect') for this film is hilarious from start to finish.
The film follows Lucy Kelson, a lawyer who makes it a practice of fighting against large corporations who are bent on tearing down the community to make profit. One such corporation is Wade Industries. When she accosts Wade's posterboy George Wade she finds herself being offered a job. If she takes the job then her precious community center will be spared. She agrees and thus starts the crazy relationship between employer and employee. Lucy soon discovers that working for George is a fulltime job; as in 24-7. When Lucy decides she has had enough she gives George her two-week notice; but quitting Wade proves to be more difficult then Lucy expected.
Like I mentioned, Sandra and Hugh play off one another magnificently. Their humor matches the other beautifully and lends itself to some magical comedic moments. This is one of those pairings that makes complete and total sense; one you wish they would revisit very soon. While Lucy and George are nothing new to Bullock and Grant respectively, the characters seem fresh because they finally have a worthy partner. Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock compliment one another; they complete one another.
The film also has some worthy supporting characters. Dana Ivey and Robert Klein play Lucy's parents Ruth and Larry and play off one another wonderfully as well. Larry is the concerned and affectionate confidant while Ruth is the challenging opinionated mother who sets expectations for her daughter to reach. Heather Burns (who also stars alongside Bullock in the two `Miss Congeniality' films) plays Lucy's best friend Meryl and while she's not as memorable as she was in `Miss Congeniality' (that may be due to considerably less screen time) she still does a fine job. Stealing the supporting brownie points is Alicia Witt (when is this girl going to get a gig that really emphasizes her talent?!?!) who just mesmerizes as June Carver, the lucky hopeful training to take over Lucy's job.
In the end I must say once again that `Two Weeks Notice' is hysterical. Sure, it is cliched (but never to a fault) and it is predictable (but in a good way) but it is so genuinely charming and so well constructed that you can't help but enjoy it to the very last drop. Bullock and Grant soar together. Here's to hoping they team up for a sequel (or at least another film).
Another fun and cute Hugh Grant movie! October 1, 2007

I pretty much own all of Hugh Grant's movies, so this is just another one in my collection, however it is a very cute romantic movie with Hugh providing his typical subtle little one-liners. Sandra Bullock is another of my favorite actresses and the two of them have a wonderful chemistry together. It's just a really great film and it's one that you want to just watch over and over.
 Sparks fly, well almost. July 8, 2007

Two Weeks Notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant is a cute and safe romantic comedy. There are some funny scenes in this film but of course the chemistry is awkwardly steamy. Grant always seems lazy in the love department, his chemistry with Drew Barrymore in Music and Lyrics is on the breezy side as well. Bullock's appeal saves this film, the scenes where she is ordering gallons and gallons of chinese food is a riot. This film is an office romance so it does have some orginality to it but otherwise it's pretty much a standard love story. Two Weeks Notice is worth a notice or two though. Enjoy!
SO FUNNY May 19, 2007

TWO WEEKS NOTICE is one of my favorite movies. There. I said it. Read on to see why I love this movie.
TWO WEEKS NOTICE is the story of Lucy (Sandra Bullock), a very. . . It's hard to describe her. She aspires to be a great lawyer - and in truth is - but she settles to work at Legal Aide and do pro-bono work instead of going and making money. Until she meets George Wade (Hugh Grant!).
George Wade is a multi-millionaire businessman, the face of Wade Corporations. He hires Lucy while he is in need of an assistant. They make a bargain - she'll work for him and help him get his building built, but he must keep the Coney Island Community Center. This works - for a while.
Lucy finally gets fed up with George's late night calls and strange demands and his lack of R-E-S-P-E-C-T (see movie for joke). So she gives him her two weeks' notice. But the thing is, Lucy is in love with George, but is too prideful to admit it.
This movie is so well written and well done overall. Hugh Grant does a wonderful job as George, whether you want to admit or not. He and Sandy Bullock may not have perfect chemistry, but they are so funny together. There are moments in the movie that make me laugh out loud. And I rarely laugh out loud.
LUCY: I think you are the most selfish person on the planet, George.
GEORGE: That's just silly. Have you met everyone on the planet?
See this movie. It's genuinely funny.
Excellent Movie April 7, 2007
