Product Information
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.
This movie is a fun and easy to watch romantic comedy (it doesn't make you think- it just makes you laugh). Sandra Bullock plays an attorney named Lucy Kelson, who is always working for a cause, including the preservation of historic buildings. She comes in contact with George Wade, who is the public face of Wade Corporation (and a millionaire playboy) while working to preserve a community center his corporation plans to tear down. Although George appears to represent everything that Lucy hates, she agrees to become the head attorney for Wade Corp. in exchange for his promise to preserve the community center. Within weeks of accepting the job Lucy begins to feel less like an effective attorney and more like George's personal assistant, doing everything from helping him select the right mattress to picking out what he should wear. Finally, she gives him her two weeks notice and agrees to help him select a new "personal assistant." But when a very attractive colleague of Lucy's applies for the job (and seems to have an attraction to George), she finds that it may not be as easy to walk away from him as she thought it would be... True, it is a little corny, but overall it's still a fun, light-hearted movie that will make you laugh.Read full review
In this movie, Two Weeks Notice, Sandra Bullock plays an attorney by the name of Lucy. When she was growing up in New York, Lucy and her friend were trying to stop a wrecking ball from knocking down a famous landmark. This is when she started her interest into Law. She went to Harvard for her Law Degree and worked for a boss with big bucks. She tried to fix him up but it just wasn't working. Lucy was having Chinese Food Binges and feeling terribly insecure. She decided to quit and gives her 'two weeks notice'. George Wade, her boss, has different ideas. This is a funny movie with Lucy having a gastric attack while in traffic and then gets drunk on George Wade's Yaht. The outtakes are great too.
I brought this DVD as a big Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock fan, expecting to see magic. For the first hour I wasn't disappointed, both stars were on great form and it was a laugh a minute. Towards the end though, all laughs just disappeared and it turned into just a basic, rather contrived romance, which seemed to drag on and on. When it finished, I was like, "Thank God". It was a shame, a film which had so much to start with just turned into a complete load of nothingness. Such a shame. However, I can't fault the casting. There was so much chemistry between the leads. Buy this DVD for the outtakes alone. Hugh Grant is hysterical in them!
