Two Weeks Notice (DVD)

INTRODUCTION I wanted to see this film from the first time I heard about it. I finally managed to watch it today and unfortunately, it disappointed. This must be the first Hugh Grant film that I haven’t loved. Notting Hill, Bridget Jones, Sirens, About A Boy – great films, great acting and the lovely Hugh Grant. I also really like Sandra Bullock and my favourite genre of film is that of romantic comedies. So on paper, Two Weeks’ Notice ticked all the boxes. It sounded exactly my kind of film and I was looking forward to seeing it at last. PLOT The basic plot is that Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is a lawyer who has ...  Read the complete review

I love romantic comedies, and I am a fan of both Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock, so it's no surprise that I enjoyed Two Weeks Notice. I actually went to see it at the cinema when it was released in 2002, and received the DVD for Christmas the year after, but I have only got round to watching it today. I soon remembered why I liked it in the first place. The film tells the story of a young lawyer Lucy (Bullock) with a passion for the environment, politics and charity. Seduced by the idea of working for a company that has huge resources which she could put to good use, she becomes an employee of the Wade Corporation, working directly for George Wade (Grant). ...  Read the complete review

I am re-watching some of my DVD's as I'm trying to save a bit of money, and anything that distracts me from going out and spending has got to be a good thing! Two Weeks Notice was a film I really wanted to see, as I love Hugh Grant (I know, I know, but there's just something about him!) and when I bought this, my boyfriend at the time had a bit of a thing for Sandra Bullock (Apparently she has a sexy voice) and so I thought this would be a great way of persuading him to watch a chick flick! When we actually watched this though, I remember being quite disappointed. I was expecting a huge romance, however I thought it fell a bit flat, so it's only now, a couple ...  Read the complete review

Lucy Kelson and George Wade could not be more different in their outlooks if they came from two different planets. She is a highly principled lawyer always on the lookout for her next worthy cause and he has the playboy millionaire lifestyle that is becoming to the successful businessman that he is! How Lucy ends up working for him at Wade has to be a mystery to both of them! But she does, and there is the basis for the story that is 'Two Week's Notice' (made in 2003) which I found to be a highly entertaining film. At the start of the film, Lucy (Sandra Bullock) is seen protesting at the demolition of an old building that is making way for a Wade construction. ...  Read the complete review
