Two Weeks Notice (2002)
Two Weeks Notice (2002)
The plot of Two Weeks Notice revolves around Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant and socially conscious lawyer, and George Wade (Hugh Grant), a charming but somewhat self-absorbed billionaire real estate mogul. Lucy works for George as his personal attorney, a role that involves more than just legal adviceβshe is his moral compass, his advisor, and, in many ways, his conscience.
Despite their professional success, their relationship is one of constant friction. Lucy is frustrated by George’s lack of commitment to his work and his tendency to rely too heavily on her for everything, while George is reliant on Lucyβs sharp legal mind and her ability to manage both his business and personal affairs.
As the movie unfolds, Lucy reaches a breaking point and decides to resign from her position. She gives George her “two weeks notice,” setting the stage for the central conflict of the film: her departure from a job she has grown to feel suffocated by and the undeniable attraction she begins to feel for George. George, in turn, is reluctant to let her go, realizing just how much he depends on her, both professionally and personally. As the two spend the remaining weeks together, their relationship begins to shift from one of employer and employee to something more personal.
