Fresh: 49

Rotten:68

Average Rating: 5.2/10

Consensus: Though Two Weeks Notice has nothing new to add to the crowded genre, Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock make the movie a pleasant, if predictable, sit.

Runtime: 1 hr 40 mins

Genre: Comedies

US 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]

They may not be history's most predictable pairing but Bullock and Grant turn out to be a natural fit, in an Odd Couple kind of way.

It’s a treat – a delightful, witty, improbable romantic comedy with a zippy jazzy score… Grant and Bullock make it look as though they are having so much fun.

Bullock is as adorable as she always is and acts well off of Grant; they have great chemistry together and make this an entertaining tale to watch.

Two icons of romantic comedy team up for the first time, and the result is a fizzle.

Bullock and Grant, like the viewing audience, appear to be waiting for some memorable payoff that Lawrence fails to come close to delivering.

Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock basically play their patented movie selves in this overly familiar romantic comedy about corporate greed, social responsibility, personal promises and budding love.

Structurally, the film's off-kilter. The start of the relationship is rushed through, while the supposedly crucial notice period feels increasingly directionless. Which leaves the comic strand - and that, by and large, delivers.

Light, fluffy, and enjoyable.

Much of the reason for the film’s success is down to the pairing of Grant and Bullock, and it’s easy to see how the film could have been a leaden disaster in the hands of blander actors.

Hugh Grant's witty delivery of throwaway lines and Sandra Bullock's clumsy sincerity appeal to me. I hope their first on-screen pairing isn't their last.

Comédia romântica formulaica e sem graça que traz Grant e Bullock repetindo seus tipos habituais. Os clichês se amontoam e irritam.

Despite Bullock's comic flair and Hugh Grant's charming turn as a bumbling billionaire, they can't carry this romantic comedy just on witty repartee.

'Es la típica película romántica que se puede disfrutar si se entra a la sala sabiendo que se van a ver clichés y el típico final feliz'

Lo que falla es el elemento de "chispa"; no existe esa tensión sexual típica entre entre los dos protagonistas; y ése es un hueco irreparable.
