Short description
Lucy Kelson is a Harvard-educated lawyer devoted to environmental and community causes. She takes a job with George Wade, a wealthy New York real estate developer, after he agrees to spare a community center she is fighting to save. George soon relies on her for far more than legal advice, from his wardrobe to his personal life, and treats her more like a caretaker than a chief counsel. Frustrated, Lucy decides to resign, and George accepts on the condition that she find a replacement. She settles on June Carter, an ambitious young lawyer whose interest in her new employer becomes clear, and Lucy begins to have second thoughts about leaving.
Two Weeks Notice is a romantic comedy written and directed by Marc Lawrence, released in 2002 and the first film he directed. Sandra Bullock, who also produced, stars as Lucy, with Hugh Grant as George. Dana Ivey and Robert Klein play Lucy's parents, while Alicia Witt appears as June and Heather Burns as Meryl.
Made for about 60 million dollars, the film took in roughly 199 million worldwide, a strong return. On IMDb it holds 6.2 out of 10 from around 134,000 votes, and on TMDB 6.4 out of 10 from more than 2,200 votes. A critics' rating of 5.4 out of 10 from 121 reviews places it below both audience scores, though the gap between them is modest.
What's left behind the scenes
- The house where George's brother lives belongs to Donald Trump. Trump gave the film crew permission to shoot there and appeared in the movie in a cameo role.
- It was initially intended to film in Toronto, where it would have been cheaper, but actress and producer Sandra Bullock stated that a movie about New York must be filmed only in New York. Production was moved to New York and completed in 17 weeks. In honor of the filmmakers and actors and their assistance in restoring the city's economy after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, the Mayor of New York declared December 11, 2002, as 'Two Weeks Notice Day'.
- Mark Feierstein's name is mentioned in the credits, but not a single scene featuring him made it into the final cut of the film. Only in one of the wedding episodes is a part of his head briefly visible.
- In the scene where Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant's characters sit on the roof and talk, she recalls seeing Mr. and Mrs. Goldfarb sitting in a parking lot as a child, so no one would take their son's parking space. This line is a reference to Darren Aronofsky's film 'Requiem for a Dream' (2000), where Mrs. Goldfarb sits in the street with neighbors.
