Two Weeks Notice (2002)
It's not pretty, folks...
This was a mediocre movie, with mediocre acting and a mediocre plot. Not only was it long and boring, Hugh Grant ultimately fulfilled his stereotype. Not to mention his stoic visage which he uses to represent just about every emotion...If you see this movie, be prepared for annoying characters, a tiring plot, and a predictable ending. The best parts of the movie were Grant's commentary on Bullock's character's apartment at the end, and Norah Jone's cameo.
Corky Romano (2001)
Chris Kattan:Stay on SNL
Chris Kattan is a great sketch actor on Saturday Night Live...but he should probably leave the movie industry alone unless he gets some sort of creative control. He plays an annoyingly peppy character who basically comes off as mildly retarded and on speed. Wanna know the only funny parts? The stuff they showed in the previews. Yes, his rendition of take on me is funny. Nothing else is. ESPECIALLY when you can tell he's trying very hard to be a physical comedian, which he shouldn't have to try at because he is one. And yet, his 'demolishing the vet's office' bit comes off as cringingly bad. This movie made me develop an eye twitch. Avoid it at all costs, and keep watching SNL.
The Haunting (1999)
Great book, Okay Movie
While I suggest that everyone go out and read the Shirley Jackson novel form which this movie originated (The Haunting of Hill House), the movie is not quite up to par. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad...I'd rather watch it than not. But let's just say that the book was much better done...not to mention that I was dissapointed that the film was not entirely accurate, although the casting was great! The actors and actresses were exactly who I would have picked out of a photo line up. All in all, an okay movie.
