TWO WEEKS NOTICE
This stars Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. Sandra plays a leftwing environmentalist lawyer and Grant a rich partner in a real estate development company . Grant's company is about to develop a property that will see the destruction of a community center, but promises to save the center if Bullock comes to work for him, which she does. But his self-centered ways get to her and she gives her 2 weeks notice. After that the fun begins.
This is a predictable "opposites attract" theme, but don't let that stop you from seeing this film. It is peppered with dialogue that snaps, crackles and pops with humor. Bullock is a natural comedienne, and this is the kind of role I prefer her in. There is also excellent charisma between her and Hugh Grant. Now I am not a Grant fan but I have to admit I enjoyed him in this picture. It is written and directed by Marc Lawrence, who always did have a great ear for natural dialogue. And his writing here suits the two leading characters to a tee.
There is also some familiar tunes in the score, and a real treat is Norah Jones singing The Nearness Of You at a cabaret.
I laughed out loud several times during this film. There was more comedy ( even some slapstick) than romance and that suited me just fine. This probably wouldn't hold up well for a second viewing for most, unless you are a hardcore Bullock or Grant fan, but it make a really pleasant evening rental.
