3.0 out of 5 stars A Cute, Funny Date Movie., November 2, 2002

This review is from: Two if by Sea (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely underrated movie, April 30, 2000

By 

Mary Jane T McDermott (Popponessett, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two if by Sea (DVD)

Althoush critics and pretty much everyone else dismissed this movie as awful, I think it is great. It is Denis Laery at his best both in acting and writing. The dialouge between him and a young Sandra Bullock is excellent. You get to see his Boston/Irish side like in other in Monument Ave but in a better plot with better actors. (Although his art theif sidekicks do have some great one-liners) Sandra Bullock is also an excellent sidekick to Leary. She made this movie before she was a star in movies such a Speed, but plays a her "wanting to get out of the gutter" character great. This movie will not be loved by everyone, but serious Leary fan or Bullock aficionado will appreciate its merit. Finally, any Homicide fans will enjoy seeing "G" Yaphet Kotto in a less dramatic law enforcement role.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bullock and Leary tread water enough to save TWO IF BY SEA, September 18, 2007

By 

KerrLines ""Movies,Music,Theatre"" (Baltimore,MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Two If By Sea / Warner Hits [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary actually save this film from sinking totally.The plots and subplots become so convoluted and not very funny, but there is an undeniable lovableness about Roz and her boyfriend thief Frank that keep TWO IF BY SEA floating in rather still waters.Both actors capture perfectly the innocence and naivete of two lovers of seven years who are both struggling to find where they as a couple fit in life.Frank has been pulling cheap theft for years and Roz is always there beside them.They escape everything.Nothing sticks to them.Roz wants commitment of more serious nature than Frank seems to recognise.This is the story that does so well in this film.Bullock and Leary bring such cuteness to their characters.This is one time where a film can be enjoyed on the strength of lead performances, and not so much for a twisted screenplay and direction.The characters contain all the life in this barely above water flick, not the story.
