The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is the kind of movie to sit, watch and relax without demanding too much of it.The stronger point of the movie are its likable characters (except Evan Marsh). Sandra Bullock is like a fish in the water in this kind of movies and she has a good chemistry with the other leading Denis Leary. The supporting characters are good like the FBI Agent O'Malley and the group of thieves (especially when they discuss between themselves making funny comments).'Frank' O'Brien has stolen a very expensive painting and he will go to an appointment with his girlfriend Roz to sell it, what he doesn't know it is that the FBI Agent O'Malley and his thieves friends are after them

Every bad film that flops always has a title change, nine out of ten times, and such is the case with TWO IF BY SEA, a.k.a. STOLEN HEARTS. It's not an awful film by any means, semi-entertaining as a sweet, romantic crime romp -- but it's also nothing special, and certainly not worth renting when you can just wait for it to come on television.The underrated Denis Leary and overrated Sandra Bullock are two crooks-turned-lovers who are on the flee from their last job when they accidentally assume the identity of another couple in a local neighborhood.Yeah, it doesn't make any sense and defies logic. What were you expecting?2.5/5

Maybe there's a reason people who live in provinces are calledprovincial. Perhaps they expect a "Citizen Kane" or a "Godfather"every time they step into a theater. Great movies are few and farbetween, and about the best you can usually hope for is acoherent tale told in an entertaining way.And that "Two If By Sea" certainly is. I give it 9 out of 10 for itshilarity, subtle performances, niceness, great scenery, and overallexecution. It's a warm movie filled with lots of really zingy littlefunnies. It never strays far from its agreeable theme of true love,and when it does it takes delightful tangents into: pure slapstickgoofiness, devastatingly piercing pricking of the neuveau riche,adolescence, and even the plight of the city dweller who thinkshe's "out in the country" (as when a terrified Leary draws a .38 on atame deer). You have to admire a director who can take as manypotshots at life as "Airplane!" does, and still stay within the contextof a story as cohesive as this one is.Actually this is one of Denis Leary's finest hours. He portrays aguy who gets along in life by being tough and irascible, although atheart he's hard pressed to cope with the world in general andcompletely confused by love. Sure his character comes across asgrating -- it's supposed to. But if you can't see past the facade tothe nice guy underneath, you're not much of a moviegoer.To his excellent work the director adds Sandra Bullock's character,who is just enough not satisfied with a simple, linear life to throwLeary into one tailspin after another. Their chemistry is oftenprickly, but always centered around the movie's core theme. And ittakes real talent to portray her part with the touch of frustration shehas, without coming across as a bitch. Bullock impressed me byachieving just the right tone.And in the end, what more could you want? The good guys all findways to win and the bad guy loses his claim to fame and goesdown in flame, blame and shame. Whoooeee!

I am a big fan of Denis Leary, and I thought this was a damn funny movie. The plot is cut-and-dry (the little plot that exists), but it works out nicely as a comedy, mostly due to Leary's funny dialogue and humorous arguments between him and Bullock. I think Bullock was miscast, though. She did an OK job, but her accent drifted many times. If you like Leary, you'll probably have a great time. I especially loved the scene where Leary was going fishing and he shoots one of the fish. Then he cooks it up, serves it up to Bullock and she spits out a bullet. That was classic. But for non-Leary fans...you might not enjoy it as much. I don't consider him an acquired taste, but his foul-mouthed banter doesn't appeal to everyone.
