  • The film revitalized the economy of New York City after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In honor of the cast and crew’s contribution to the city, the mayor of New York City named 11 December 2002 “Two Weeks Notice” Day.
  • During the traffic jam and trailer scene, one of the men in the Poland Springs truck behind the RV is Bullock’s brother-in-law.
