A woman finds herself attempting to foil one office romance while debating if she should take a chance on another in this romantic comedy. Lucy Kelton (Sandra Bullock) is a top-flight attorney who has risen to the position of Chief Legal Counsel for one of New York's leading commercial real estate firms, the Wade Corporation. However, Lucy's job has one significant drawback -- George Wade (Hugh Grant), the eccentric and remarkably self-centered head of the firm. George seems entirely incapable of making a decision without Lucy's advice, whether it actually involves a legal matter or not, and while she's fond of George, being at his beck and call 24 hours a day has brought her to the end of her rope. In a moment of anger, Lucy gives her two weeks notice, and George reluctantly accepts, under one condition -- Lucy has to hire her own replacement. After extensive research, Lucy picks June Carter (Alicia Witt), a Harvard Law graduate determined to make a career for herself. Lucy soon begins to suspect, however, that June plans to hasten her rise up the corporate ladder by winning George's hand, leaving Lucy to wonder if she should warn George about his beautiful but calculating new attorney -- and whether she should tell George that she has finally realized she's in love with him. Two Weeks Notice was written and directed by Marc Lawrence, who had previously scripted two other box-office hits for Sandra Bullock: Miss Congeniality and Forces of Nature. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Formulaic at best, Two Weeks Notice is not much of a film, but Warner has produced a fine DVD. The 1.85:1 anamorphic image is typically wonderful. A full-frame version is also available, which seems to be the norm for the studio. Colors are vibrant and depth of field is perfectly realized. In addition, skin tones are transferred realistically. The sounds, a 5.1 Dolby Digital track, is certainly adequate for this light romantic comedy, which means that not much is really offered. Surrounds are basically nonexistent, but that isn't too much of a surprise. On the plus side, dialogue is clear throughout. Though hardly extensive, there is a decent array of supplements. The 12-minute featurette is nothing more than a studio fluff piece as the Sandra Bullock, Hugh Grant, and writer/director Marc Lawrence gush over working with each other. Far more interesting is an audio commentary from the same three. It's light-hearted and pleasant to listen to, and simply proves that these three had a wonderful time working together. In addition are two deleted scenes, one that could have been left in, and the other, really more an alternate ending, that truly doesn't add anything to the film. Also included is "Two Bleeps Notice," a feature where bloopers can be accesses when a heart icon appears onscreen. While they are generally amusing, it was a mistake that they can't be watched separate from the film. Finally, along with the standard filmographies is the theatrical trailer for this film. ~ Trent Fordham, All Movie Guide
