Editorial Review:

Although Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant display little on-screen romantic chemistry in Two Weeks Notice, by having them do what they do best the film manages to work around the missing key ingredient. Bullock is on top form as a bumbling but clever woman who is left ashore by her eco-warrior boyfriend and begins to work (against her better judgement) for Grant, the well-spoken and charming yet inept public face of a multi-million-pound building empire. Although sparks conspicuously fail to fly between them, the two make for genial pals and, as a result, the fact that little romance is evident until the end is actually a bonus.

It would be easy to dismiss this as just another Hollywood star vehicle, a formulaic rom-com that could have been produced anytime in the last 50 years or so. But it is impossible to deny that, although offering nothing new, the script does at least work well. In casting the stars exactly to type, making no social comment and leaving the audience happily gorged on feel-good vibes by the end, if nothing else Two Weeks Notice at least offers universal appeal. --Nikki Disney

• Business and love collide!
  This is an enjoyable film well worth a watch, with good comedy moments and a nice simple story line.
  Lucy (Sandra Bullock) plays a brilliant Harvard law graduate who usually uses her talents to fight thoughtless real-estate developers. She meets "the enemy" George Wade (Grant) who is going to knock her local community centre down, but ends up working for him in exchange for saving the building.
  He is a carefree, seemingly shallow, rich playboy and Lucy finds herself used more to help choose... more info

  I've watched Two Weeks Notice five times and this will give you some idea of the quality of this film.A good storyline that moves at a fast pace,tremendous acting,humorous and intelligent dialogue,a believable and involving rapport between Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock,and the whole thing set in some gorgeous locations in and around New York city.One of the best romantic films I have seen in the last twenty years or so.The extras section of the dvd is nothing special but don't worry about that because the... more info

• Never listern to what the critics might say
  OK not brilliant not enthralling, not the best script you have ever heard, not the best film you will ever see but i don't know it just has something about it that well, grabs you and you watch until the end. You buy it on DVD and watch it (well you never went to the cinema to see it!) and you enjoy in a mindless sort of way and then on an evening when you are bored by the TV you look through your DVD collection and you pull it out and watch it again and you enjoy it. Hugh Grant is, well Hugh Grant and... more info

• *snore* a waste of two good comedic talents
  You would think that a romcom with Bullock and Grant could hardly go wrong.
  Unfortunately it does in spectacular fashion.
  Zero chemistry is never a good start in a romantic movie, and two very funny people are let down by an unfunny script.
  The film feels like it never quite starts - I spent the whole thing waiting for the story to kick in - and then it's over.
  Very disappointing. I expect the commentary and bloopers are the best reason (if there is a reason!) to buy this movie.more info
