Frank O'Brien, a petty thief, and his 7-year-long girlfriend Roz want to put an end to their unsteady lifestyle and just do that last job, which involves stealing a valuable painting. Frank takes Roz to an island on the coast of New England, where he wants to sell the painting and also hopes that their sagging relationship will get a positive push back up. Not everything goes as planned, as some thugs and the FBI try to recover the painting and Roz gets attracted not only to the landscape.

Release

Box office

Two If by Sea opened theatrically on January 12, 1996 in 1,712 venues, grossing $4,656,986 in the United States and Canada, ranking tenth for its opening weekend.[3] At the end of its run, the film grossed $10,658,278 in the United States and Canada and an estimated $10 million internationally for a worldwide total of $21 million.[4][2]

The film was Sandra Bullock's worst wide opening up until 2015, when Our Brand Is Crisis released in October, earning $3,238,433 in its first weekend.[5]

Critical reception

The film received negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 13% based on reviews from 30 critics, with an average rating of 3.9/10.[6]

Variety wrote: "It could have been a recipe for antic fun, but the couple’s quarrelsome nature is grating, the cops are needlessly inept, the boy provides a misplaced element of creaky sentimentality, and the goons debase the hallowed cinema ground of petty crime."[7] Entertainment Weekly gave it a D.[8] [9]

Denis Leary said it was "one of the funniest scripts he had ever read" and blamed director Bill Bennett for the film's failure, saying "he destroyed it."[10]
