Video: Two Weeks Notice
The perfect romantic comedy needs three ingredients: Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant and a script peppered with sparkling one-liners.
Two out of three ain't bad, I suppose and on video at least it makes for an enjoyable couple of hours.
Sandra and Hugh play their usual characters, rising above the by-numbers plot and pedestrian dialogue by force of personality.
Hugh is a rich and superficial property developer hoping to make millions by demolishing a much-loved building.
Sandra is the feisty lawyer who takes him on, turns him around and -- much to her surprise of course -- falls in love.
The result is rarely hilarious but is slick, likeable and occasionally amusing. Like Hugh, I suppose.
