Plot 411: When Lucy becomes a corporate lawyer to save her beloved community center she discovers a whole new world of superficiality in George.
Review: Environmental lawyer Lucy (Sandra Bullock) is hired by rich real estate developr George (Hugh Grant) with the understanding that if she works has his chief counsel he will stop the destruction of Coney Island Community Center. She quickly finds out that George is hopelessly unable to make decisions on his own. She becomes not only his lawyer but his personal assistant in every matter in his life. Thoroughly fed up with his behavior, she puts in her resignation notice and agrees to train her replacement. This comes in the form of a inexperienced but beautiful June (Alicia Witt). During this time, both Lucy and George realize just how much they really enjoy each others company. But with the development of the community center back on, will they be able to reconcile with each other? The movie is a breezy comedy in which Bullock and Grant have great chemistry. She plays the girl-next-door character and he plays the zaney Brit. In general, this is a movie made at probably the height of both of their careers during a time when everything they touched turned into gold. That should be enough of a description to know what it's about and how things'll end.
Watch It: For great, but very predictable, comedic beats.
Skip It: Because it's just another conventional romantic comedy.
