Starred in Two Weeks Notice

In the romantic comedy 'Two Weeks Notice', Hugh Grant starred alongside Sandra Bullock, portraying a wealthy and spoiled billionaire who runs a real estate business. The film was released to mixed reviews, with critics noting that Grant's character was somewhat of a stereotype, described as 'little more than a Britishism machine' by The Village Voice. Despite the critical reception, the film achieved commercial success, grossing approximately $199 million internationally. This performance contributed to Grant's ongoing popularity in the romantic comedy genre, showcasing his ability to attract audiences even when the critical response was lukewarm. Following 'Two Weeks Notice', Grant continued to work in ensemble comedies, including the well-received 'Love Actually', which further solidified his status as a leading man in romantic films. The financial success of 'Two Weeks Notice' indicated that audiences were still drawn to the romantic comedy format, even as critics expressed reservations about the film's originality and depth. The film's box office performance highlighted the enduring appeal of the genre and the star power of its lead actors, particularly Grant and Bullock, who were both well-known for their roles in previous romantic comedies.
