Two Weeks Notice 2: Terms of Engagement (2025) is a witty, heartfelt romantic comedy sequel that reunites fans with Lucy Kelson (Sandra Bullock) and George Wade (Hugh Grant) more than two decades after their original office-romance-turned-love story captivated audiences. Set in a fast-paced, post-pandemic New York, the film blends sharp legal banter, modern relationship challenges, and the undeniable chemistry between its leads into a fresh and emotionally satisfying story about love in midlife.
Now in their 50s, Lucy and George have been partners in life and law for years. Lucy runs her own public-interest legal firm, and George—now semi-retired from the real estate spotlight—is enjoying a slower, more meaningful life filled with philanthropy… and naps. Though still in love, their differences have evolved: Lucy is still a passionate activist, constantly pulled in a million directions, while George craves stability and quiet. They complement each other—but not without friction.
The story kicks off when a major corporate merger threatens to demolish a historic community center Lucy once saved, reigniting the fire in her legal soul. She wants to fight it; George is approached to serve as a mediator for the very company behind the buyout. Suddenly, they’re on opposite sides of a high-profile case, each defending what they believe is right—with their relationship hanging in the balance.
To complicate matters, a younger, ambitious lawyer at Lucy’s firm challenges her authority, while George’s charming ex-fiancée resurfaces as the company’s PR lead, stirring up old insecurities. Amid boardroom battles, courtroom stand-offs, and classic George-Wade mishaps (including a viral TikTok meltdown), the couple must face the question: Can two people still grow together when their goals start to diverge?
With fast-paced dialogue, clever callbacks to the original, and updated themes around work-life balance, aging with grace, and choosing love over ego, Terms of Engagement offers both comedy and heart. The film is filled with modern rom-com touches—video calls gone wrong, awkward couples therapy, and a Manhattan rooftop proposal with a twist.
In the end, Lucy and George learn that love isn’t about changing each other—it’s about recommitting, again and again, even when life throws you curveballs in a pantsuit or a British accent. Their final scene, tender and slightly chaotic, reminds us that love can be messy, late, sarcastic—and still absolutely perfect.
Two Weeks Notice 2: Terms of Engagement is a sparkling, feel-good sequel that proves some chemistry never fades—and that real love means rewriting the contract as you go.
