Two Weeks Notice
2002
*½
Director: Mark Lawrence
Cast: Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant, Alicia Witt, Dana Ivey, Robert Klein
A charmless and joyless romantic comedy about an idealistic lawyer who reluctantly takes a job with a ruthless property developer and, surprise, falls in love with him. Bullock and Grant are both typecast and it looks like they phoned in their respective performances. The story, on the other hand, is maddeningly formulaic stuff in which each individual scene plays out exactly as expected.
