Just Enough Time To Find Love
Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is a lawyer with a cause.
Working each day to preserve old landmarks, and keep the corporate
monopolies from taking over the smaller, enchanting communities.
But that all changes the day she meets millionaire tycoon, George Wade
(Hugh Grant) of Wade Enterprises. He’s looking for a new “legal
eagle” and she’s looking for a well of resources to complete her life’s
dream. The two make a perfect team, until they mix business with
pleasure and their goals get compromised.
With my husband fresh out of law school I thought it
perfectly fitting to review a movie all about a lawyer who falls into a job
making $250,000. (If only….) Hugh Grant and Sandra
Bullock both have countless chic flics that populate my movie shelves, but this
one is by far one of my favorites! The two have great on-screen chemistry, their
sense of humors play a wonderful melodious duet that I could watch over and
over again (and I do). Alicia Witt, who plays June Carver, the
lawyer who is to replace Lucy, makes me want to throw my hand in a blender,
she’s THAT annoying. At any
rate, that is the only negative item that you will hear from me because I
adooore this film, music, storyline, acting, the whole kit-n-caboodle!
Motherly Advice: I watched Two Weeks Notice with my filters on
medium. This film is pretty clean with your filters on but I have
to mention a few parts. First is that there are a couple of scenes
that put Lucy into compromising positions, meant to come off as innocent and
funny, but are sexually implicit, nonetheless. Also, near the end,
George and June are involved in a game of strip poker, and you see her in a
strapless bra and slip, and he’s wearing a shirt and boxers. Most
of Lucy’s wardrobe is completely modest with the exception of two ball gowns
that were strapless and/or off the shoulder. I know this film is a
chic-flic but my husband sure enjoyed it, and so I’d say it’s a chic/guy flic
for ages 13 and up.

Hill. What about you?
