Lucy works with her billionaire boss as a community lawyer, unfortunately she feels awkward when he begins to give her both professional and personal tasks to handle and so decided to call it quit.
Instead of using George and Lucy's most obvious differences to ignite sparks, Lawrence desperately looks elsewhere, seizing on George's haplessness and Lucy's personality tics.
Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock basically play their patented movie selves in this overly familiar romantic comedy about corporate greed, social responsibility, personal promises and budding love.
