Two Weeks Notice

Review by James Anthony


Click here for DVD details at a glance

Fans of light romantic comedies - or either Sandra Bullock or Hugh Grant - will really enjoy this offering from the new queen of hearts.

Move over Meg Ryan, Sandra has taken your spot in the easy romance stakes.

In Two Weeks Notice she plays Lucy Kelson a Harvard graduate lawyer who is right into causes and who, somehow, finds herself working for a man her academic parents loathe.

He is George Wade (Hugh Grant) and despite his billions of dollars and winning ways with most people his charms fail to instantly captivate our heroine.

Still, he does offer her a nice salary package and Lucy slips into the big corporate world with both ease - and a conscience.

Little by little the pair fall for each other but neither will 'fess up and so our gal hands in her notice (hence the title).

Anyway, to cut a long story short this movie is a good sit-at-home-and-feel-good effort with a couple of stars who really click on-screen.

Bullock is, once again, delightfully klutzy with a few more sight gags included than in Miss Congeniality 2. (Can't say anymore because Mrs A may read this).

Grant is nicely insensitive as the lost rich man and I hope he keeps on going down the road of playing the charming cad because he does very well at it. Mind you, it would be even nicer to see him as a really nasty villain at some stage!

Two Weeks Notice is light and fluffy - and a good laugh.

Conclusion: 80% Extras: 65%.
