Two Weeks Notice

(Reviewed December 21, 2002)

You know how Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock seem to have really great chemistry when you see them interviewed together on "Entertainment Tonight," et al? How the two of them are likable and goofy and kind of sexy around each other? Well, rest assured that absolutely none of that chemistry--none, I tell you!--transfers to the screen in this tediously unfunny slog.

Bullock is a sickeningly ditzy and yet brilliantly intelligent lawyer (only in the movies, folks!). She hooks up with Grant, a dumb but charming rich guy developer whose company is (HORRORS!) about to tear down Bullock's beloved hometown community center.

They both basically act like a couple of retarded morons spouting witless one-liners at each other until planting a big smooch on each other at the end. Oh, I ruined it for you? Oh, right--like you thought it would end any other way. Grow up, for Christ's sake.
