My fantastic movie

Many times people don´t appreciate a romantic comedy, just because most of them have scripts that are simple and predictable. ¨Two weeks notice¨ is a romantic comedy, release in 2002. The film is about a lawyer (Lucy Kelson) and her immature boss (George Wade) and of course how they fall in love. Yes, the story and the production are not amazing but it is fun and makes me happy.  What I love about this move is that it is actually different from the general idea of the classic love story.

The story is different from the common romantic storyline. Yes they are a humble girl and a very handsome rich boy, as in many of this kind of movies. But she is problematic, she is not a girly woman, very poor dressed, and with serious problems of self-esteem. He is not a hero; he is actually a big boy, and a selfish person. They are two beautiful characters that show their defects and there are not perfect unreal persons. The main problem of the story is not the common one. Most of the movies based their stories in someone trying to separate the lovers. In this one the problem is that they seem to be so different that can even work together. Lucy and George didn´t realized they are in love until the last day they worked together.

Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are guarantee of a good fun. Both of them are recognized comedy actors, which are well known for their performances in a long list of romantic films. Sandra is one of America´s favorite actresses of all times and Hugh is a British prince of romantic movies. Both of them are charming, sexy, and have a characteristic sense of humor. Lucy and George the main characters are very similar to them and this gave an especial touch to the movie. George is a capitalist, superficial, multi-millionaire man that doesn´t really care about others. Lucy is an idealistic lawyer that lives her life defending her believes and fighting for a better world. At the beginning of the movie, the credits show pictures of Bullock and Grant as they grew up. In those pictures you can see how similar they are to their characters. She grew up surrender by the hippie movement and he grew up among fine cars and expensive toys in England.

Against what you may believe this movie is not predictable. Yes, you can guess what is going to happen and you surely know that they are going to fall in love with each other. But you can try to guess in many lines what they are going to answer but you will fail. Many of the lines are hilarious and you never expect what they say. The script was written in a very witty way.

This movie success was based in the humor and chemistry among their main characters. The formula is simple, good actors plus a funny and crazy script and a sweet love story equals a successful movie. ¨Two weeks notice¨ is a movie that offers a good time, a lot of laughs and a breath taking love story, with a different and interesting twist. That is why I love it, just because is so simple that makes me laugh every time I watch it, and is so common that I can identify with the story.
