Two Weeks Notice 2002

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: [Grant and Bullock] are so good together that you can easily imagine them doing this again, a la Tracy and Hepburn, in another flimsy concoction. Read more

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Not even Grant's shoulders are broad enough to lift a scattershot script that defies explanation in any sort of linear way. Read more

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: This thing works on no level whatsoever for me. Read more

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Some day, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant will make a perfectly charming romantic comedy together. Until then, we have Two Weeks Notice, to remind us that bad things can happen to good ideas. Read more

Susan Stark, Detroit News: Apparently, romantic comedy with a fresh point of view just doesn't figure in the present Hollywood program. Read more

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Thin and utterly lacking in tension. Read more

Stephen Holden, New York Times: A romantic comedy so vague and sadly undernourished that it makes one of Nora Ephron's low-cal strawberry sodas seem as tempting as a Philip Barry feast. Read more

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: A transparent feel-gooder. Read more

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The hard-to-predict and absolutely essential chemistry between the down-to-earth Bullock and the nonchalant Grant proves to be sensational, and everything meshes in this elegant entertainment. Read more

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: A pleasant romantic comedy. Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: I'd watch these two together again in a New York minute. Read more

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail: Though Bullock and Grant more than pass their chemistry test, Two Weeks Notice isn't much of a movie. Read more

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: The movie is hardly a masterpiece, but it does mark Ms. Bullock's best work in some time. Read more

Kate Sullivan, L.A. Weekly: It's just not very smart. Read more

John Anderson, Newsday: Feels like three. But Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock have some wonderful moments together, as the airhead boss and the drudge who becomes a swan. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: What can I write about Two Weeks Notice that I haven't written about every mediocre romantic comedy to come down Hollywood's pipeline? Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Walking into Two Weeks Notice at the end of a hectic day, week, month and year, I wanted it to be a typical romantic comedy starring those two lovable people, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. And it was. Read more

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Instead of using George and Lucy's most obvious differences to ignite sparks, Lawrence desperately looks elsewhere, seizing on George's haplessness and Lucy's personality tics. Read more

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Wo Weeks Notice is very much a movie that rides on its co-stars, but it rides nicely. Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Two Weeks Notice? Two minutes would be plenty, thanks. Read more

Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Structurally, the film's off-kilter. The start of the relationship is rushed through, while the supposedly crucial notice period feels increasingly directionless. Which leaves the comic strand - and that, by and large, delivers. Read more

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

Ed Park, Village Voice: The film's essentially over by the meet-cute. Read more
