Summary: Disappointment!!
Review: Sandra Bullock tries the old, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" routine for this movie. This movie was not funny at all. Even with comedian, Robert Klein in a supporting role, it doesn't take off. Hugh Grant is wasted in his role. Overall, this is a dud.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is an excellent movie
Review: This is a great movie with Hugh Grant and Sandra bullock. Sandra Bullock roll in this movie is yet another great roll. Her acting skills are superb as is Hugh Grant. In this movie I found the lead comedy roll was played by hugh Grant more so than Bullock.
Many have written poor reviews about this movie but I say watch it and then write your review.
Anyone who watches this movie will find the both Grant and Bullock plays a great roll in this simple story

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: expected more from this
Review: It just was too contrived.

Bullock plays Lucy, a Harvard-educated lawyer from Coney Island, NY, who spends her time hugging trees and protesting against corporations. In an attempt to save the Coney Island community center, she agress to work for George Wade, a self-absorbed selfish corporate mogul, who stands for everything she can't stand.

He works her to the bone, calling her at all times and for the most inappropriate reasons like choosing a suit. When she tries to quit, he ensures she will not be hired by anyone else. In addition, he is getting divorced because he cheats too much.

A lot of this movie is neither romantic nor comedic, for all its being a romantic comedy. It's frankly gross when Lucy needs to go to the bathroom in the middle of a traffic jam and they invade an RV stalled next to them.

Grant is good, Bullock is blah, and the whole movie is just a letdown. I am glad i saw it for free on a bus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Fluff Movie
Review: Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock brought a delightful chemistry to this movie! Sandra Bullock's character works for Hugh Grant's character with some fun fireworks resulting!! A great renter and even a buyer!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A well -acted movie with a terrible script.
Review: Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant were great in this movie taking every oppurtunity to make it funny. However, the script was pretty bad. I think there could of been some more humor in it around the middle to keep everyones attention. It got a bit boring and then picked up. This really deserved a 3.5

Overall: Give it a chance and give it a watch.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Too Boring" Notice
Review: I am a fan of Hugh Grant especially for the comedy movies Nine Months, Notting Hill and 3 Weddings and 1 Funeral. I also liked Sandra Bullock in movies like The Net, While you were sleeping for her excellent performances. So, with great expectations I wanted to see this so called comedy but it was a total disappointment. The movie was so boring that I could not even finish it. The actors look ordinary, the story looks ordinary and so the treatment. A total waste. The stardom is wasted and so is our time too.

Was the movie taken it two weeks?

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: Nobody these days make good movies anymore. But this movie is awesome. I like Hugh Grant even though sometimes I can not understand what he is saying. But I always love Sandra Bullock. Because she keeps it real. This is a great movie to add to either your VHS or you DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wow.

Summary: SPARE ME...
Review: Both my daughter and I looked forward to seeing this film. I am a big fan of both Sandra Bullocks and Hugh Grant, as they are charismatic and talented actors with a feel for comedy. Unfortunately, even they cannot overcome a witless script and the ham-handed direction of Marc Lawrence.

Sandra Bullock plays the role of neurotic Lucy Kelson, a Harvard Law School grad who follows in the footsteps of her activist parents by becoming an activist lawyer. Hugh Grant is in his element as George Wade, a real estate developer and playboy tycoon. When they are brought together by fate, they strike a deal that they believe would be in each of their respective best interests. Lucy will work for George as his chief counsel, while George promises not to apply the wrecker's ball to her beloved Coney Island community center.

Unfortunately, as time passes, these two opposites begin to be attracted to each other. Just as fate contrived to bring them together, however, it appears that fate will also tear them apart. When Lucy discovers that George will be unable to keep his promise about the Coney Island community center, she gives him two weeks notice. Enter June Carter (Alicia Witt), also a Harvard Law grad and Lucy's replacement. The luscious June quickly sizes up George Wade and sets her cap for him, causing Lucy to suffer pangs of jealousy of which she had been previously unaware.

There are no surprises in this formulaic film. Hugh Grant does his slightly wacky British turn, while Sandra Bullocks turns in another intelligently ditzy, infectious performance. It is the script and the direction, however, not the actors, that jettison this remarkably unfunny, romantic comedy. The laughs are few and far between. The dialogue is one dimensional and cartoonish. It fails to build a believable romance between the two main characters. Quite frankly, all the film does is waste the considerable talents of Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullocks, as well as the viewer's time. It is an unintelligent, pedestrian film that would otherwise have tanked but for its star power.
