Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for some sex-related humor

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Dec 20, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $93,241,161

Synopsis: Millionaire George Wade (HUGH GRANT) doesn’t make a move without Lucy Kelson (SANDRA BULLOCK), his multi-tasking Chief Counsel at the Wade Corporation. A brilliant attorney with a strategic mind,... Millionaire George Wade (HUGH GRANT) doesn’t make a move without Lucy Kelson (SANDRA BULLOCK), his multi-tasking Chief Counsel at the Wade Corporation. A brilliant attorney with a strategic mind, she also has an ulcer and doesn’t get much sleep. It’s not the job that’s getting to her. It’s George. Smart, charming and undeniably self-absorbed, he treats her more like a nanny than a Harvard-trained lawyer – and can barely choose a tie without her help. Now, after five years of calling the shots, on everything from his clothes to his divorce settlements, Lucy Kelson is giving her two weeks notice. Although George makes it difficult for Lucy to leave the Wade Corporation, he finally agrees to let her go – but only if she finds her own replacement. After a challenging search, she hires an ambitious young lawyer (ALICIA WITT) with an obvious eye on her wealthy new boss. Finally free of George and his 24-hour requests, Lucy is ready to change course and join her devoted boyfriend (MARK FEUERSTEIN) on an adventure at sea. Or is she? Confronted with the fact that Lucy is literally sailing out of his life, George faces a decision of his own: is it ever too late to say “I love you”? -- © 2002 Warner Bros. [More]

Bad news: Donald Trump is in Two Weeks Notice, and he's not even the most annoying thing in the movie.

Some day, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant will make a perfectly charming romantic comedy together. Until then, we have Two Weeks Notice, to remind us that bad things can happen to good ideas.

Decent, but innocuous and offering nary a surprise or unexpected plot or character development, this romantic comedy doesn't possess enough of either obligatory element to appeal to anyone beyond diehard aficionados of the genre.

wo Weeks Notice is very much a movie that rides on its co-stars, but it rides nicely.

The film is more perky than actually funny.

Two Weeks Notice isn't a bad movie; it's just such an automatic, cruise-control flick that it's hard to generate excitement.

It's so muddily written, you'll get lost in silly jokes about building projects and tofu cheesecake.

The romance is shoehorned into the final 20 minutes, as if it were a contractual obligation.

Feels like three. But Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock have some wonderful moments together, as the airhead boss and the drudge who becomes a swan.

A romantic comedy so vague and sadly undernourished that it makes one of Nora Ephron's low-cal strawberry sodas seem as tempting as a Philip Barry feast.

What seems like a dream team on paper is more of a tedious nightmare on celluloid, where Bullock and Grant are trapped with their well-worn screen personas in a dumb, ultra-predictable movie.

The resulting film has warmth rather than spark, but that ultimately doesn't matter. Two Weeks Notice is an enjoyable bit -- fluffy, silly and fine for the season.

Not even Grant's shoulders are broad enough to lift a scattershot script that defies explanation in any sort of linear way.

A romantic comedy that's both funny and warmhearted.

While the ending is a foregone conclusion, the journey is more clever than cute.

Bullock and Grant are such masters of romantic comedy, they make falling in love with them, if not their characters, effortless, fun and rewarding.

Bullock and Grant are perfectly paired in Two Weeks Notice. The script allows the two actors to be at their comedic best, even though the film as a whole is amateurish in many ways.

Though Bullock and Grant more than pass their chemistry test, Two Weeks Notice isn't much of a movie.
