Editorial Review:
A comedy of love, laughter, and larceny. With the FBI hot on their trail, a petty thief (Denis Leary) and his long-tim girlfriend (Sandra Bullock) take up temporary residence in a beach house on a posh island, where their love for each other is put to the ultimate test. "The best romantic comdey, caper, date film of the year." (Norman Mark, WMAQ-TV/Chicago).
Two if by Sea Reviews:
What a mess! 
2008-05-08 - Two If by Sea was a movie I saw when I was a teenager, and the only reason I wanted to see it was for Sandra Bullock. I am a huge fan of her work and I thought she wouldn't do a bad movie, I was wrong of course. Sandy and Denis Leary have strange and awkward chemistry together, the script is horrific and the ending is so pathetic. This is one film I never want to see again.
Bullock and Leary tread water enough to save TWO IF BY SEA 
2007-09-19 - 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.
Bawdry and different! 
2007-06-02 - this movie is a hit in out house. We drag it out a few times a year and really enjoy it!! No subliminal messages no preaching just entertainment!!! I liked Sandra Bullock in this role! Denis Leary was great. Good flick!
GREAT CAST...CRAPPY SCRIPT... 
2006-05-27 - The only thing that keeps this film from totally tanking is the undeniable charm of Sandra Bullock. She does, however, deserve better than this. Dennis Leary should stick to acting, because, having written this piece of dreck, should he decide to write full time, he will be spending a lot of time on the unemployment line.
The premise is simple. A low life, dumb and inept petty thief, played with some saving grace by Dennis Leary, steals a famous painting that he is supposed to resell to an anonymous buyer at a remote location. Accompanied by his working class girlfriend, Sandra Bullock, who does all she can with this thankless role, they go to a location near the drop off point, only they get there before the drop off day and need a place to stay. They move temporarily into a mansion, whose owners are away. A rich and curious neighbor comes over, but they manage to convince the neighbor that they are friends of the owner and are there as invited guests.
Meanwhile, the FBI is hot on their trail with a team headed up by Yaphet Kotto, an actor too good to be in this film. To make a long story short, Bullock wants Leary to go straight. He waffles. The neighbor goes for Bullock. She finds herself attracted to him but is torn by loyalty to Leary. She waffles. A local kid comes up with some dirt on the neighbor that he shares with Leary. This gives Leary the ammunition he needs to save the day, when the FBI finally catches up with them. To find out what happens, you will just have to suffer through this movie, as I did. All I will say is that what happens is predictable.
