The one thing I had always loved about Hugh Grant is his impeccable manners: In Extreme Measures, The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain, and Notting Hill, as well as this film, his manners are exemplary...All except for one shocking comment that he slyly injects into a conversation, almost obscured by the rest of the quick dialogue. While attempting to assume what a job applicant's lifestyle history is like, he guesses, "...a little Irish... Catholic. Big family. Dirty. That sort of thing."Excuse me? Did he just say that all Irish people are "dirty"? This insinuation quite enraged me and has altered my feelings for Hugh Grant, both as an actor and a human being. Someone should have an abbreviated discussion with him, as he is walking home some night. This Oxford snob actually had me thinking that his etiquette is borne of empathy and emotional maturity. What we see in Two Weeks, instead, is that it is all just an act. Mr. Grant, while we are on the subject of "dirt", why don't we meet, so I can knock your @#$% in it? (That is, of course, unless you are previously engaged).

Would it not be absolutely great if two people who together could do so much to help humanity got together? Highly unlikely and very indeed only Hollywood because that is what Hollywood does: allow us to dream and step into another perspective. Far better than 30 seconds in Kardashianland.Oh, I live in Southern California. A bit prejudice about what art is.Everyone here thinks they have the gift, the look, that thing and kill themselves trying to get it for the wrong reasons. Fame. So two famous actors decided not to make a chic flic? We may actually lept forward in human evolution.It is a millennium step back in time when women did not say thank you for treating me like garbage than demanding everything but my mind.

What a hoot - this has become a family favorite. Full of great little comedic elements and great acting by Bullock and Grant. I honestly cannot believe this has a 6!! Bullock plays a great by the book environmentalist lawyer and Grant is the wealthy, somewhat dense tycoon. They really have great chemistry and keep your smile on throughout the movie. As they work closer together, you can watch the walls go down and the huge differences of opinion fade, as humor greases the wheels. The "save the world" attitude of Bullock is further established by her parents, which add a nice accent to the meal, and make the tension between the two leads more palpable. There are several unforgettable scenes that become quotable and highlight an already entertaining movie.

Along with wit and humor Lawrence, Bullock, and Grant provide a a very human touch that resonates throughout the movie. In a very well done scene on the rooftop of Lucy's parent's New York apartment, Lucy shares with George that she never lived upto her mother's expectations. George says that is different from people "having no expectations". This is where movie transforms beyond the opposites attract story. It makes sense of Lucy's need to be perfect, and the man that George could be that he is well aware of. In it's own light hearted way, "Two Weeks" looks at where you sell out, where do you become a whore (but in a nice way), and where do you take a stand. And taking a stand is never easy... even in a romantic comedy, though it sometimes takes longer.Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are magic together. They are both smart and their characters' are also. Grant as George is charming, witty, and playing someone who has honor and substance that are dimissed by all except Lucy (Bullock). Grant is masterful at hinting at a depth of character. Sandra Bullock is beautiful, smart, and funny as Lucy. She also stretches herself when Lucy drunkenly braggs about her sexual prowess-- "bobcat... pretsel thing." Bullock lends compassion and a whacky sensibilty to Lucy who scares men off by being too smart and too perfect, but still not good enough for her mother. Her Lucy only gets a clue when she hires her replacement (a good Alicia Witt)-- she is in love with George. The exchanges between Grant and Bullock are so natural... like conversation, spoken and unspoken.At one point in the movie, Lucy has a breakfast conversation with her Dad (a goofy and wise Robert Klein). She asks him "What if people don't change?" The point is they will or they don't. Kind of like loving someone is accepting them for who they are and for who they are not. Be open to surprises. Marc Lawrence's "Two Weeks Notice" is an excellent surprise. He along with Bullock and Grant have made a classic romantic comedy and more.
