Two if by Sea Reviews

Only the sheer force of Sandra Bullock's apparently ingenuous charm keeps this sodden romantic comedy afloat. Bullock and formerly dyspeptic comedian Denis Leary play mismatched working-class lovers: He's a lunkheaded Irish thief who couldn't swipe a Blow Pop from the proverbial baby; she's a Jewish bookstore clerk with vague aspirations to a better life. After he manages to steal a valuable painting, they're forced, improbably, to hide out in a swank mansion while waiting to meet a mysterious buyer. Will exposure to upper-class blandishments lure Bullock away from Leary? You know the answer, but you won't care.
