Leave your thoughts about Two If by Sea.
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasCompletely lifeless, with zero chemistry between the leads. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesA good little movie -- emphasis on 'little.' |
| Chicago Sun-TimesLloyd SachsTwo if by Sea, directed by Australian Bill Bennett, suffers from a symptom common to romantic comedies that begin after the couple have visited the haystack: There's simply no more sexual tension. Without it, you'd better be as good as Tracy and Hepburn. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaIt's disappointing to see Bullock reduced to rolling her eyes, putting her hand up and saying 'Talk to the hand' like a guest on Ricki Lake. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackTwo If by Sea should have been titled "Two at Sea." It's adrift. Stars Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary have no chemistry together, and a perfectly good story is wasted on a really bad script. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezOnly the sheer force of Sandra Bullock's apparently ingenuous charm keeps this sodden romantic comedy afloat. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlThe saddest element of Two if by Sea is watching Bullock get dragged down in the drivel. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliTwo if by Sea has a drab, dreary tone that's due as much to the unenthusiastic performances as to the bland direction. If anyone was having fun making this film, it doesn't come across. Star Wars' gold droid C3P0 had more humanity than all of Two if by Sea's characters combined. Because I never cared about Frank or Roz, the "feel good" ending left me cold. And, to think, I wasted over an hour and a half in a theater with this movie when I could have been outside shoveling snow. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserDENIS LEARY may be a funny guy when he's standing on stage spraying invective at a live audience, but as a movie star he has a lot to learn. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinHow bad could it be? Not exactly awful. But not funny, sexy or romantic either, which doesn't leave anything for this inert and oddly confused movie to do. |
