Profile of Two Weeks Notice

The mood of Two Weeks Notice is witty and humorous. The plot centers around a hotshot lawyer, bosses and employees, and a workplace romance. It features verbal byplay. Two Weeks Notice is a comedy and romance movie. Stylistically, it is talky. In approach, it is realistic. Two Weeks Notice takes place, at least partly, in an urban environment. The setting is New York. It happens in contemporary times. Two Weeks Notice is especially suggested for a date night.

Summary of Two Weeks Notice

Opposites attract in the directorial debut of screenwriter Marc Lawrence. Determined activist, lawyer, and idealist Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) has a noble reason for accepting a top position at Wade Realty Corporation. By taking the job, she can save the beloved community center in her Coney Island neighborhood. Along with the job comes the position of personal advisor to her high-maintenance boss, George Wade (Hugh Grant). As the two work together, down-to-earth Lucy becomes utterly indispensable to millionaire playboy George, so much so that he seeks her advice on everything from stationery selection to his divorce settlement to what suit he should wear. When Lucy gives her two weeks notice and realizes that her potential replacement, June Carter (Alicia Witt), has some strong chemistry with George, she has to acknowledge her own romantic feelings for her boss. Likewise, faced with losing the person he relies upon most, George is forced to do some soul searching of his own. Grant is well-cast as freewheeling George, delivering his lines with subtlety and making a potentially irritating character likable and charming. Two Weeks Notice also stars Dana Ivey and Robert Klein as Lucy's parents.

San Francisco Chronicle

Anyone who prefers Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock to Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Lopez is bound to regard Two Weeks Notice and not "Maid in Manhattan" as the better candidate for romantic comedy of the season. Full Review

It is a lovely, amusing diversion from the start, but the depth of its poignancy by the time it's over comes as a surprise. Full Review

This rom-com is really... dull

I'm not a big fan of Hugh Grant but I must say I enjoyed About A Boy even though he even narrated the story. In Two Weeks notice I can't stand him playing another spoiled millionaire. Sandra Bullock plays an activist lawyer who will lay in front of a community center about to be wrecked by a big corporation. Hugh Grant is a man behind but he is such a ignorant he seems like he doesn't know what he is doing. He need a new employee to handle his corporate affairs and so happens Bullock character has an excellent resume even thouhg she worked for Peace Corp before. Why he hires her is beyond me but they work out a deal where she keeps her beloved community center and works for him until they build up the are all around this center (they build condos therefore their evil). Millionaire boss proves to be annoying and she wants to quite. Yet the agreement she made and signed is so good that he can make other companies not employ her. It pretty simple but I don't get why she can't go back to working in Peace Corps, can big corporations influence them so easily? Most of the time little to no chemistry can between between the two main characters. There is few laughs when Grant talks to Bullock but not that great. His dominant characteristic - ignorant snob is not that well pointed out. He ask her to decide on what to wear to a Beuty contest, which envelope to take and.. that it. It's a breeze when we learn she doesn't like it (in fact two captions say '4 month later' and '6 months later'). This should have been a funny montage fails with no pace or impact. The harder is to believe she falls for him later, even when he played strip chess with a new female lawyer and didn't show much interest in Bullock's character. One redeeming element is it's view on architecture. There is an interesting quote that starts with "Architecture can shape society ..." A Flyby view of New Your and some brief history of chrysler building. The community center itself is a historical building. It is not that much fun though. There is plenty of romantic comedies and many of them feature a millionaire that falls in love. Two weeks notice fails to distinguish itself from the crowd and on itself is lacking on romance and humor.
