8/10
A movie made good entirely by zingy one liners and sexually charged banter.
27 March 2004
Two weeks notice is a movie that is so completely lightweight in viewing, it's almost embarrassing to admit how much I liked it. But I did. I'm a big fan of romantic comedies but it seems like there is so much of a redundent churning out of crummy or average ones in the past few years, it's hard to keep them all straight.

This movie differentiates itself very much from other below average or at best, average or slightly above average romantic comedies. It's the same classic setup as a million other ones(see: "Maid in manhatten", "The wedding planner", runaway bride", "I love trouble" etc etc etc.) What makes this one a bit better then the above mentioned is the dialogue. It's actually funny! This is a movie that exists entirely on the witty "back and forth" barbs between Bullock and Grant's characters. It's peppered with zingy one liners and caustic banter and the result is a peppy, funny and entirely entertaining romantic comedy.

AS is NOT the case with some of those other movies I mentioned, this is one I will actually remember fully once the movie is over. Although nothing about the plot is realistic in the slightest, the banter is so much fun and the chemistry so cute and sassy, that it makes for very entertaining movie watching.

Anyone who's ever had that type of relationship will be able to relate. That fun type of relationship with a member of the opposite sex where chemistry and attraction is built slowly and sassily, where both people know their attracted to each other but haven't yet admitted that to each other so off they go into the world of sexual banter! This is a fun relatable romantic comedy that any fan of the two main stars should see. I happily give it an 8 out of 10.
