Dedicated environmental lawyer Lucy Kelson goes to work for billionaire George Wade as part of a deal to preserve a community center. Indecisive and weak-willed George grows dependent on Lucy's guidance on everything from legal matters to clothing. Exasperated, Lucy gives notice and picks Harvard graduate June Carter as her replacement. As Lucy's time at the firm nears an end, she grows jealous of June and has second thoughts about leaving George.
The strong humour makes up for the ultra-thin premise.
Hugh Grant (George) and Sandra Bullock (Lucy) are excellent together, they share solid chemistry. I like Grant's performance the most, bringing a likeable but flawed vibe to his character. Bullock is good in her role, too.
It probably is a forgettable film, but I do enjoy the humour. It keeps things pacing well, at least until the third act where the plot kinda ends with a whimper. Nothing else standouts, especially the supporting cast.
They could've/should've shaved twenty minutes or so off the run time to keep it fresher, but all in all I'd deem <em>'Two Weeks Notice'</em> as one that's worth viewing.
