Summary: No Chemistry
Review: "Two Weeks Notice" stars two appealing people, but they have no chemistry. My dog and cat have more chemistry. Why would a lawyer (Sandra Bullock) want to work for a conceited billionaire (Hugh Grant)? Greed is a bad thing. Falling in love after countless annoying incidents just makes this movie another routine POS. There was one scene where they were playing mixed doubles in tennis and I was truly ashamed with their athleticism. I could've probably beat all of them with my hand tied behind my back because I'm the king of handicap matches. Oh well. This movie really doesn't grab your attention and makes you wish you spent your money on something with substance, like a twinkie.

Summary: Typical Genre Movie, Nothing New
Review: For this genre, it is a typical romance-comedy. The actors are very good, but the story is a bit tiresome -- so much like all its competition. A good "date" movie with microwave popcorn, but not outstanding.

Summary: Finding Outtakes
Review: By activating the "Two Bleeps Notice" function in Special Features, you can access the movie outtakes when a small pink heart appears on the screen. If you don't want to have to watch the entire movie, here are the locations of each heart. I think I found them all. These are listed by hour:minute:second. 18:32, 20:04, 23:38, 24:13, 26:38, 28:14, 33:02, 37:28, 41:36, 47:16, 57:50, 1:13:01, 1:24:29.The extras on the DVD are of the usual fare, but not outstanding. The commentary is somewhat interesting, with Sanda and Hugh bantering about. The movie itself is somewhat forgettable, but is an enjoyable little film. I agree with another reviewer who said that it's like iceberg lettuce: not really great for you, but certainly not bad for you either, and you'll forget all about it an hour after it's over.

Summary: Predictable but fun
Review: Sandra Bullock plays a lawyer who is passionate in her defense of the downtrodden. She ends up working for wealthy playboy Hugh Grant who is interested only in women and making a profit. Soon their differing ideals begin to clash and Bullock threatens to quit because her job requires her to be on call 24/7 for such monumental decisions as to which tennis outfit Grant should wear to a benefit tournament. The ending is a foregone conclusion, but it's fun getting there and Bullock and Grant manage to throw off just enough sparks to keep things interesting. If you're looking for an evening of light entertainment, this might just be the movie for you.

Summary: Two Weeks Notice
Review: I found the humor rather dry but it was worth watching. There isn't alot of depth to it but If you want something to watch while you kick back and relax for an eventhing this would work great.

Summary: A 4.2 for the DVD, a 3.7 for the movie
Review: If I were writing a review of this movie, I would only have given it three stars. It's cute, somewhat though not too funny, with some chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. It has all the ingredients of your standard romance comedy: a New York city backdrop, a wealthy bachelor, a scheming rival, a heroine with a heart of gold. If you like romantic comedy, you'll like this for the most part. If you're lukewarm or dislike romantic comedy, you'll hate this movie.
HOWEVER, the DVD vastly improves the movie. The voice over with Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant is very, very funny-much funnier than the movie itself. You want to see another movie with the two of them after you hear their repartee.

Summary: Two Weeks To Long
Review: Being a fan of both Miss. Sandra Bullock and Mr. Hugh Grant I looked forward to what I felt would be a fun movie, unfortunately I was to be quite disappointed. Miss Bullock's character lacked the manic energy she has frequently displayed and that this story badly needed. Her character, Lucy Kelson, had a great deal of potential, which a lackluster performance did not deliver. Mr. Grant's performance was better, but not markedly so. The 'one liners' he delivered had little punch and even less humor. The chemistry between the two main characters, necessary in this type film, just didn't seem to be there. The one bright spot was Miss. Alicia Witt, as June Carter, a sort of rival to Miss Bullock's character for the affections of Mr. Grant. Her performance had energy, humor, the vulnerability of youth and at the same time the sense that she was potentially a predator manipulating the situation for personal gain. Bottom line: Even the best miss on occasion and this is one such occasion.

Summary: light and fun with a great pair
Review: Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock are great together in this light commedy. There are times when you can tell that this movie was written by the person responsible for "Miss Congeniality", but Two Weeks Notice is not as laugh-out-loud funny. Nothing here is new, and neither of the stars is stretching to play these roles. But, that's probably what I liked about it. I go to movies with these people in them to see them play fun and loveable characters. The DVD extra "two bleeps notice" is disappointing. I don't like having to watch the whole movie again just to see the outtakes. It is a good thing to have as an option (since the outtakes are then put into context), but not as the only way to see the clips. If you enjoy romantic comedies, this is great to watch. Personally, I love this movie.

Summary: What the critics find lacking I find fun escapism
Review: Okay, so you knew how the story would end at the beginning, but isn't that true of all romantic comedies? If you like the genre, you accept that the storyline is predictable but that seems to be what the "artistic" movie critics abhor. I enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed Sandra's quirky antics and Hugh's self-centered blindness. But I also enjoyed "French Kiss" and "Kate and Leopold." Is this the absolute best romantic comedy out there? No. But does it provide 70-80 minutes of escapism? Yes.
