I'd watch these two together again in a New York minute.

Stephen Holden New York Times (Top Critic)

A romantic comedy so vague and sadly undernourished that it makes one of Nora Ephron's low-cal strawberry sodas seem as tempting as a Philip Barry feast.

The spark isn't there and the souffle doesn't rise.

Mike Clark USA Today (Top Critic)

Even more than last week's Maid in Manhattan, this week's New York comedy is saved from strain by actors it's tough not to like.

I hated every minute of it.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

A tepid romantic comedy that strains not only credulity but patience.

A transparent feel-gooder.

Ed Park Village Voice (Top Critic)

The film's essentially over by the meet-cute.

The movie is hardly a masterpiece, but it does mark Ms. Bullock's best work in some time.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

Walking into Two Weeks Notice at the end of a hectic day, week, month and year, I wanted it to be a typical romantic comedy starring those two lovable people, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. And it was.

Thin and utterly lacking in tension.

David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

Writer and director Marc Lawrence keeps the film whistling along at such a giddy and relentless sitcom pace that you tend to overlook the fact that the leads have all the chemistry of a blind date.

Susan Stark Detroit News (Top Critic)

Apparently, romantic comedy with a fresh point of view just doesn't figure in the present Hollywood program.

Bill Muller Arizona Republic (Top Critic)

the perfect date movie, a light, breezy romantic comedy with more believable characters and genuine charm than its chief competition, Maid in Manhattan.

Rex Reed New York Observer (Top Critic)

This is the kind of movie where the big scene is a man shot out of a cannon into a vat of ice cream.

David Rooney Variety (Top Critic)

An affable but undernourished romantic comedy that fails to match the freshness of the actress-producer and writer's previous collaboration, Miss Congeniality.

Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)

What seems like a dream team on paper is more of a tedious nightmare on celluloid, where Bullock and Grant are trapped with their well-worn screen personas in a dumb, ultra-predictable movie.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

The laughs don't come fast and furious; they drop in like long-lost relatives.

Two Weeks Notice? Two minutes would be plenty, thanks.

Though Bullock and Grant more than pass their chemistry test, Two Weeks Notice isn't much of a movie.

Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com (Top Critic)

Instead of using George and Lucy's most obvious differences to ignite sparks, Lawrence desperately looks elsewhere, seizing on George's haplessness and Lucy's personality tics.

What can I write about Two Weeks Notice that I haven't written about every mediocre romantic comedy to come down Hollywood's pipeline?

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

[Grant and Bullock] play off each other with nice timing and audience-pleasing verve.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

The hard-to-predict and absolutely essential chemistry between the down-to-earth Bullock and the nonchalant Grant proves to be sensational, and everything meshes in this elegant entertainment.
