Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is a community organizer lawyer fighting big corporate real estate developers. She's trying to save a community center on Coney Island. George Wade (Hugh Grant) is a rich developer who needs a lead counsel who proposes to save the center if she works for him. She becomes more and more his babysitter for his ridiculousness.
The premise seems really silly. How do you slap together these two disparate characters? It would be much better to cut out the first 15 minutes. The fact is Bullock and Grant are great rom-com actors. They both do that affable schtick with perfect comedic timing. They are really the same actor. It's just that one is wearing a dress.
