Seasickness-Garry HixonMonday, October 11, 2004
I get so sick at sea it is unbelievable, this movie reminds of puking my guts out on the ocean, first it starts with the complete meal, going overboard as I gladly hang on the the rail, hoping to fall overboard and die a quick and painful death, then it's gone, and it's time to puke the byle, yellow byle, tasting like battery acid, a pretty yellow color, the experience goes on for like 8 hours and I want to die but can't. Nothing helps and everyone else is so glad I am in so much pain, they are perfectly oblivious to my horror and absolute hell. I died from the sickness.

A Cute, Funny Date Movie.Sunday, November 03, 2002
I don't know why the other reviewers were so hard on this movie. Perhaps they expected more from a "Sandra Bullock" flick. I enjoyed it. It's a cute and funny movie about a dense thief and his smart girlfriend trying to evade the law.
Okay, it's not as fast-paced as MIDNIGHT RUN and Yaphet Kotto is not as funny as the FBI man trying to catch them. It also loses a little steam towards the end. But the tete-a-tete and chemistry between Denis Leary and Sandra Bullock works. Actually, by focusing on Bullock one might miss what a great job Leary has done in playing the beleagured boyfriend.
The digital transfer of the DVD is excellent judging from the stunning New England scenery. It is available for a bargain price and is worth every penny.

Dry humor, but still funny at times.Thursday, October 17, 2002
This is a very slow movie about a thief (Denis Leary) and his girlfriend (Sandra Bullock) who are forced to hold up in a vacationing couples home until they can escape the police.
Leary is his usual naurotic self while attempting to save his relationship with Bullock.

SANDRA BULLOCK DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS!Friday, September 14, 2001
The only thing that keeps this film from totally tanking is the undeniable charm of Sandra Bullock. She does, however, deserve better than this. Dennis Leary should stick to acting, because, having written this piece of dreck, should he decide to write full time, he will be spending a lot of time in the unemployment line.
The premise is simple. A low life, dumb and inept petty thief, played with some saving grace by Dennis Leary, steals a famous painting that he is supposed to resell to an anonymous buyer at a remote location. Accompanied by his working class girlfriend, Sandra Bullock, who does all she can with this thankless role, they go to a location near the drop off point, only they get there before the drop off day and need a place to stay. They move temporarily into a mansion, whose owners are away. A rich and curious neighbor comes over, but they manage to convince the neighbor that they are friends of the owner and are there as invited guests.
Meanwhile, the FBI is hot on their trail with a team headed up by Yaphet Kotto, an actor too good to be in this film. To make a long story short, Bullock wants Leary to go straight. He waffles. The neighbor goes for Bullock. She finds herself attracted to him but is torn by loyalty to Leary. She waffles. A local kid comes up with some dirt on the neighbor that he shares with Leary. This gives Leary the ammunition he needs to save the day, when the FBI finally catches up with them. To find out what happens, you will just have to suffer through this movie, as I did. All I will say is that what happens is predictable.

Two If By SeaWednesday, July 18, 2001
I thought this movie was fantastic. The thief was cool and his girlfriend the cashier was fantastic but we would expect that from Sandra Bullock. The FBI agent was also cool and I liked at the end when he let the two go. The action in the film was also fantastic. I think the most romantic part of the movie was when Sandra and her boyfriend made up in the end of the movie and she made him promise to change and then ran and jumped in his arms. I also thought Sandra also showed a lot of fight when she knocked him down while at the party at the house of the real thief of the priceless art. I would certainly recommend this movie to all who is hopelessly romantic.
