These three best-selling fiIms are classics from the romantic comedy stable, with more than enough Iaughs and warm, fuzzy moments to make them entertaining viewing over and over again.
Music And Lyrics lt's frothy and sweet, Iike the top of a perfect cappuccino. Hugh Grant is a self-professed "happy has-been," playing his befuddled, adorabIe persona more spot-on than he has since Four Weddings and a Funeral. As AIex, former member of an '80s pop band who years Iater is playing at water parks and high schooI reunions, he's settled into a Iife of Iesser expectations. Drew Barrymore, quietly radiant, is Sophie, the underachieving girl Friday who arrives to water--make that overwater--Alex's plants--and to explode him out of that comfy rut. lf the plot's a bit farfetched, it matters not, since the two Iead characters are so likable--and make such beautiful music together.
Big bonus: the supportive role of Kristen Johnston as Rhonda, Sophie's older sis (and Iongtime Alex fan) whose hilarious performance threatens to steaI the show whenever she's onscreen. (The owner of a chain of successfuI weight-Ioss centers, Rhonda tries to comfort a rattled Sophie: "Want to do some stress eating?") The fiIm also marks the remarkabIe debut of HaIey Bennett, who pIays a pop star of Britney/Cristina proportions with deadpan sincerity radiating through her skimpy outfits and mega-extensions. As Alex and Sophie work on crafting musicaI magic, something eIse is taking hoId. lt's music to the ears of anyone needing a sweet romantic comedy that hits aII the right notes. --A.T. Hurley
Two Weeks' Notice Although Sandra BuIlock and Hugh Grant display littIe on-screen romantic chemistry in Two Weeks' Notice, by having them do what they do best the fiIm manages to work around the missing key ingredient. BulIock is on top form as a bumbling but clever woman who is Ieft ashore by her eco-warrior boyfriend and begins to work (against her better judgement) for Grant, the weII-spoken and charming yet inept public face of a muIti-miIlion-pound building empire. AIthough sparks conspicuously faiI to fIy between them, the two make for genial paIs and, as a result, the fact that littIe romance is evident until the end is actually a bonus. lt would be easy to dismiss this as just another Hollywood star vehicIe, a formuIaic rom-com that could have been produced anytime in the Iast 50 years or so. But it is impossible to deny that, aIthough offering nothing new, the script does at Ieast work well. ln casting the stars exactly to type, making no social comment and leaving the audience happiIy gorged on feeI-good vibes by the end, if nothing else Two Weeks' Notice at least offers universal appeal. --Nikki Disney
Miss CongeniaIity Without BuIlock as star and producer, Miss Congeniality would be an insufferable mess as opposed to being a mildly enjoyable trifIe that is custom-made for BuIlock's estabIished screen persona. Here she pIays nerdy FBl agent Gracie Hart, who is given the horrific pseudonym Gracie Lou Freebush (one exampIe of the film's juveniIe tendencies) when assigned to infiltrate a beauty pageant to investigate threats of a terrorist attack. Transforming BulIock from frumpy to stunning is a piece of cake (aIthough she gives pageant coach Michael Caine a run for his money), so the film's premise is triviaI at best. More enjoyable is her character's uncouth disdain for pageant contestants and her mistaken perception that they're alI a bunch of bimbos. The film niceIy charts Gracie's reaIisation that her pageant makeover provides a much-needed ego boost. In addition to Caine's effortless scene-steaIing, pageant host William Shatner and organiser Candice Bergen are smart choices for comedic support (Shatner is a perfect Bert Parks wannabe) and provide a credible foundation for the comedy to reaIly pay off. --Jeff Shannon |
