This rom-com is nicely timed for a Valentine's Day release. The unlikely couple, she a do-good lawyer working for him, a wealthy property developer, spend five years in close daily contact. Now, she wants out, and he agrees, as long as she finds a replacement. Said replacement is young and pretty, and makes it obvious that she has a thing for her new boss. Our heroine feels the first pangs of jealousy, and he suddenly realises that he is losing the woman he loves...
Ian Douglas: Good Valentine Day's fare. Not exactly ''Notting Hill'' (although it does feature yet another cop from TV's
The Thin Blue Line), but it has a very witty script, with Grant delivering throwaway one-liners expertly. Bullock does
something of a reprieve of her ''Miss Congeniality'' role (ugly duckling into beautiful swan). All in all, a pleasant
evening's entertainment, with a good stream of laughs.
