If it’s been a while since you’ve seen a romantic comedy (or if you saw one last night), you’ll want to see Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock in Two Weeks Notice. Hugh Grant plays an extremely rich man who lives one of those improbable lives we common folk hear so much about but can’t really imagine. That is, he runs a huge corporation with his brother and flies around in private helicopters.

His problem is that he’s short a chief legal counsel and needs one quickly. When he runs into an activist lawyer (Bullock) he hires her on the spot. After consulting her conscience, she takes the job because if she takes it he promises to save a local community center he was otherwise going to raze.

In the next year, he becomes completely dependent on her, calling her at all hours for trivial reasons. She finally quits. Naturally, that’s when they realize they’ve fallen in love with each other, but aren’t quite ready to admit it.

So it’s a pretty standard romantic comedy plot, but that’s okay because the dialogue is genuinely witty, Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock have good chemistry, and the ending is much more satisfying and natural-feeling than say, the ending of You’ve Got Mail, another romantic comedy with ethical themes.

Basically, this movie is a lot of fun—an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
