Two of the most reliable actors of the romance comedy genre team up for the first time in "Two Weeks Notice," a
funny movie about a lawyer and her rich client who annoy each other to the point that they begin to love each other. Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant star in this lighthearted and entertaining film from director Marc Lawrence.
Bullock stars as Lucy, a Harvard-taught lawyer who has devoted her life to working for the little people, which basically means going against big corporations anyway she can. However, when she runs into the handsome but foolish millionaire (Hugh Grant) whom she has grown up hating, and he offers her a job, she sees it as an opportunity to change his mind about things. As their business relationship grows, she finds that he is a very pleasant man that never thinks too long on anything, except for himself. He is constantly calling her and asking for her advice, to the point where she finally gives him his two weeks notice. But, as she searches for a replacement and eyes other jobs, she begins to fall in love with him, and him with her.
"Two Weeks Notice" is by no means a risky venture for either actor, who have both based their careers on movies like this. Hugh Grant plays his normal, quick-talking self, while Sandra Bullock does her quirky, slightly clumsy routine. Together, it is a force to be reckoned with, one that carries the two hours steadily along, drawing lots of laughs from the audience. That''s all one needs, right?
