Have you met everybody on the planet?

Lucy Kelson: What did I tell you that defines an emergency?
George Wade: A large meteoroid, severe blood loss and uh... what was the other thing?
Lucy Kelson: Death! And you're not dead!

George Wade: Before you came into my life I could make all kinds of decisions now I'm addicted I have to know what you think. What do you think?
[holds up cufflinks]
Lucy Kelson: I think your the most selfish human being on the planet.
George Wade: Well that's just silly. Have you met everybody on the planet?

Of course, no one has ever met everybody on the planet. That is one of the things I really liked about this movie. Hugh Grant’s literalness in everything he said and did in the movie was not the slightest bit annoying. Well, who could ever find Hugh Grant annoying anyway?

Going back, I have heard of people who only watch romantic comedies and the like for fun or to kill time. This, I think is because people only find violence and cruelty interesting. Just like in the myths in media, it is like saying that the world is dangerous and this false truth is what people are really interested in.

If you were only going to watch this for fun or to kill time, I think that your perception on romantic comedies would change. The movie, for me, delivered beyond what I expected. Sandra Bullock is really very good in comedy. Even after watching Two Weeks Notice, just remembering quotes would make you remember how she delivered them as well and you would find yourself laughing all over again.
