Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development ...

The film was originally set to be shot entirely in Toronto due to cheaper production costs, but producer/star Sandra Bullock insisted that a film about New York City must be made in New York City. It ended up being shot entirely on location within a 17-week span. The film revitalized the economy of New York City after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and allowed businesses to flourish once again. In honor of the cast and crew's contribution to the city, 11 December 2002 was named "Two Weeks Notice" Day by the Mayor of New York City.
------------------------

The Coney Island Community Center is in fact the Childs Restaurant Building that went out of business years ago. It was designated a New York City Landmark on February 4, 2003 just one month after the movie was released.
------------------------

The house George's brother lives in is actually one of Donald Trump's homes. Trump lent his Westchester home to the production and shot a cameo for the film.
------------------------

Lucy orders Chinese food from a "Mr. Wong". In While You Were Sleeping (1995), Sandra Bullock's character, also named Lucy, says, "You order $10 worth of chow mein from Mr. Wong, they bring it to your door."
------------------------

During the traffic jam and trailer scene, one of the men in the Poland Springs truck behind the RV is Sandra Bullock's real-life brother-in-law according to Ms. Bullock on the DVD commentary.
------------------------

Is the second film Heather Burns has acted alongside Sandra Bullock. The first being Miss Congeniality. They then went on to act together for a third time in Miss Congenitality II.
------------------------

Scenes for the movie were shot at Shea Stadium on May 9, 2002. Between innings of the Giants vs. Mets game, the crowd was filmed booing. Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock attended the game and shot a scene with Mike Piazza of the Mets after the game.
------------------------

The building Sandra Bullock's character and her two companions were trying to save at the start of the film was once a theatre, and now a church, located on 175 St. and Broadway in NYC. The building was also used to shoot the Indian palace scene in The Guru (2002).
------------------------

Mark Feuerstein, who is listed in the credits, had all his scenes cut from the final cut of the movie, although you can see part of his head during the wedding scene as Sandra Bullock's character leaves the church.
------------------------

As of 2018, Hugh Grant starred in all the four features directed by Marc Lawrence. This one is the first. Grant plays a romantically-involved character in all of the films and is paired with a different actress or actresses each time.
------------------------

British author Lynne Truss pointed out that the title of the film is grammatically incorrect. In her best-selling style book 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation', she correctly establishes that the title is missing an apostrophe ("Two Weeks' Notice"), thereby denoting proper possession of the title's subject. The original hardcover edition of 'Eats, Shoots, & Leaves' also featured Truss in her author's photo, glaring at the poster and holding a marker where the apostrophe should be.
------------------------

Opening credits song "Baby, You've Got What It Takes" (TWO WEEKS NOTICE Remix) with harmonica accompaniment by Blind Lemon Lipschitz is actually director Marc Lawrence playing the harmonica.
------------------------

Jason Antoon who plays Norman worked with Hugh Grant in Music and Lyric as well
------------------------

Though he's cut nearly entirely from this film, this is the second movie in which Mark Feuerstein acted with Sandra Bullock. He previously played her husband in Practical Magic (1998).
------------------------

Mark Feuerstein filmed scenes for this film, most of which ended up not making the final cut.
------------------------

In the scene where Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant are on her apartments roof top, eating cake, she describes her childhood past of watching the neighborhood sitting on the corners watching the kids play. She mentions a Mr. and Mrs. Goldfarb sitting in the middle of the street to save a parking spot for their kid. This is a small nod toward the movie Requiem for a Dream, where a Mrs. Goldfarb sits on the neighborhood corner in lawn chairs with her apartment lady neighbors.
