Friday night pick
Two Weeks Notice: The perfect Friday night rom-com
2002 • Comedy, Romance • 1h 41m
Friday night movies need to hit a very specific spot: easy enough to watch after a long week, funny enough to keep you awake, and just the right amount of romance to make you feel something without leaving you in tears. Two Weeks Notice is exactly that.
Sandra Bullock & Hugh Grant
It stars Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, which already sounds like the formula for a perfect rom-com. She's Lucy Kelson, a smart, principled lawyer. He's George Wade, a billionaire real estate tycoon who's charming, spoiled, and basically helpless without her. What starts as a strictly professional relationship quickly becomes something more complicated, and watching it unfold is half the fun.
What makes this film so good isn't just the story—it's the chemistry
Sandra Bullock has always been one of the best rom-com leads: sharp, relatable, and never too polished to laugh at herself. Hugh Grant, on the other hand, is the ultimate romantic comedy man. Nobody does witty, slightly clueless charm better. Put them together and it feels like a match you want to root for, even when they're bickering.
Classic early-2000s rom-com comfort
The movie itself is classic early-2000s rom-com: office banter, dramatic resignations, and of course, the inevitable moment where feelings become too obvious to ignore. It's not groundbreaking, but that's the point. It's comfort. It's the kind of movie you can watch with pizza, in sweatpants, and feel like you've made the perfect choice for your Friday night.

The bottom line?
Two Weeks Notice is what a Friday night rom-com should be: funny, easy, and endlessly rewatchable. Because at the end of the week, we don't always want something heavy or high-brow. Sometimes all you need is Sandra Bullock in a power suit, Hugh Grant being hopelessly charming, and a story that makes you believe in romance just enough to smile.
