Two Weeks Notice

Environmental lawyer Lucy Kelson accepts a job with billionaire George Wade to fight for a community center. Wade is sharp and generous, but capricious, leaning on Lucy to steer every decision from courtroom filings to his wardrobe. Lucy believes in protecting the project at all costs and soon makes clear she won't stay if he won't take the work seriously. She hands in her notice and helps bring in Harvard graduate June Carter as her replacement, hoping the office will keep its integrity after she leaves. As the end of Lucy's tenure approaches, the friction between George's charm and Lucy's principled stance grows, and she wonders if her future lies with the firm or beyond it, while city provides backdrop.

Directed by Marc Lawrence, Two Weeks Notice was released in 2002. The film is built from an original screenplay that pairs Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant in a comedy fueled by dialogue, social satire, and a clash of work styles.

The film grossed about 199 million dollars worldwide against a 60 million budget, delivering a solid return. Its success reinforced Bullock and Grant's status as a dependable romantic duo in mainstream comedies and helped drive subsequent project choices in Hollywood.

Two Weeks Notice sits firmly in the early 2000s rom com playbook, pairing a sharp lawyer with a charming, impulsive boss. The friction and warmth of their exchanges made the film a go-to option for weekend rewatches, helping keep Bullock and Grant as a screen pairing for years to come.

Critics praised the performers' chemistry and pacing, though some found the plot familiar. The film explores balancing professional ambition with personal desire, power dynamics in a relationship, and the lure of stability versus risk. It lands its emotional beats through humor rather than grand gestures on streaming platforms worldwide today.
