Of these four movies, I DID NOT like Mickey Blue Eyes or An Awfully Big Adventure. Both were stupid. Music and Lyrics is sweet and Two Weeks Notice is fun.

Music and Lyrics - Fun romantic comedy with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant.
An Awfully Big Adventure - A lot going on in this one and a must if an Alan Rickman fan!
Two Weeks Notice - The majority of this movie strung you along and it was not until the Trump card showed up that the movie popped with his quality. The theme song was perfect for this film though! Not a must watch but Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are the stars of the show if you are fans of either!

What a great set!

"This collection comes on two DVDs. I hadn't seen Mickey Blue Eyes or An Awfully Big Adventure when I purchased, but I bought it because I really enjoyed Music and Lyrics as well as Two Weeks Notice. However, I really enjoyed MBEs and AABA!
Just a note, Big Adventure is a very adult show. It has strong sexual themes and references. Artiscally and psychologically appealing however, with an emotional moral."
For Those Who Love Hugh Grant

"I adore Hugh Grant--funny, sexy--and I bought this collection awhile ago for the ridiculously low price of something like $12. My only complaint is that it includes "An Awfully Big Adventure," which was an "awfully big mistake." I think this is one of the worst movies ever made, and the fact that it's referred to as a comedy is simply insane. Here are some spoilers: Incest (father/daughter), suicide (father, after finding out that he had sex with his own daughter), a second suicide, I think (the daughter). This was a really sick movie, IMO, and I would have been so much happier had it not been included in this set. "Nine Months" or "Englishman..." would have been better choices. Oh, "Bitter Moon" (not in this set, thank goodness), is another seriously sick movie. I have watched the other three movies many, many times over and love them."
Three great movies, worth the price

"Three of the four movies are great (my definition of pleasant distraction). The purpose of a movie, for me, is not to solve major problems or to have a hero or heroine. For me, a simple, funny mix that gives a happy ending, an expected ending. This equals relaxation when I have down time. Hugh Grant is great at being an attractive lead while being effortlessly funny. Have not been able to get into Big Awful Adventure, but three of four give what I purchased the DVD for."
Two Really Good Movies, Two So-So...

"We usually like Hugh Grant movies. He's usually funny and a little romantic. This collection was a little different. Two of the movies (Mickey Blue Eyes and Two Weeks Notice) were funny, romantic, great! The other two movies were "strange". One, Music and Lyrics, was rather slow, drawn-out, boring and we couldn't wait for it to end. The other, An Awfully Big Adventure was strange, hard-to-follow, kind-of-creepy, tragic and sad. This movie was rated R, the others were PG-13. We also had trouble with the design of the DVD case. It has a swinging insert holding one of the double-sided DVD's, which came loose during shipping scratching the DVD's, so that they skip and freeze. The replacement was in the same condition. We would suggest replacing the case, if you order. However, for about $10, it was still a good deal, if only for the two better movies."
