[edit] Plot
Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) is an environmental lawyer in New York City. George Wade (Hugh Grant) is an immature billionaire real estate tycoon who has almost everything and knows almost nothing. Lucy's hard work and devotion to others contrasts sharply with George's world weary recklessness and greed.
Lucy meets George in an attempt to stop the destruction of the Coney Island community center from her childhood. He attempts to hire her to replace his old Chief Council, Amber. She knows of his playboy tendencies, but he promises to protect the community center if she works for him.
She soon finds that what he really requires is advice in all aspects of his life. She becomes his indispensable aid, and he's calling her for every little thing. She finally gets feds up with the situation and gives him her two weeks' notice of resignation. He is deeply troubled by this and tries to convince her to stay.
After she's gone, George realizes that his time with her has really changed him, as he keeps the promise he made to her in the beginning even if it means it costs his company millions. Meanwhile, in her new job, she's missing him terribly. He goes in search for her and they finally kiss.

[edit] Grammatical error
The film Two Weeks Notice comes under fire in Lynne Truss' best-selling book Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. The problem is a missing apostrophe: according to the rules of English, there should be an apostrophe after the s in Weeks, thus Two Weeks' Notice.
