October 14, 2007"Two Weeks" is a serious film about a family going through a tragic experience, it is also very funny and true. Stockman, who wrote and directed the film, manages to capture the humor and emotion of a family as they cope with of the impending loss of their mother. It is a brave a...( read more)

March 17, 2008A brilliant and touching movie! Sally Field is simply great. Ben Chaplin and Tom Cavanagh are fantastic as well. The story plot centralizes around a family of four who are dealing with their mother's dying. Great connection of family, kinship, and the bond reaffirmed between sibl...( read more)

January 9, 2009i loved the way they stayed positive and made jokes while their mother was dying.They reminded me of my behavior on funerals,i fell like a less freak now actually.

August 22, 2008Very brooding & disappionting. Sally Field's believable, powerful performance is the only saving grace of this otherwise uninsightful, implausible story that feels like it was written by 8th graders...

July 21, 2008This was a good movie! About a Mother dying and the kids come together to help take care of their dying Mom. I went through the same thing and this was pretty much, right on the money, on many accounts. I can't say that I like this film, because of the subject matter, but it w...( read more)

July 21, 2008Everyone should see this movie at least once. I went through the same thing with my Mom and it, definitely, wasn't easy. To quote my best friend Greg Klein:
"You never get over the loss, it just gets easier to live with."
If you have gone through this or are going through this, it's alright to cry, anywhere, anytime, and if people don't like it, "F" them; do it anyway!
Take care all,
William

September 18, 2007IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR OWN MOM TO CANCER THIS MAY BE DIFFICULT TO WATCH. IT WAS FOR ME, YET SALLY FIELD'S DOES AN EXCELENT JOB PORTRAYING THE MOM, AND IT REALLY TOUCHES ON THE HUMAN SIDE OF WHAT HER GROWN CHILDREN ARE FEELING. IT WLL BRING YOU TO TEARS, YET IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH. BEING OF JEWISH HERITAGE THE SIBLINGS DISCUSSION TO BRING IN THE RABBI OR NOT HAD ME BURST INTO LAUGHTER WHEN HE DOES ARRIVE. I COULD VERY MUCH RELATE TO THE SISTER-IN-LAW NO ONE IN THE FAMILY CARED FOR. TRULY A MOVIE FULL OF LOVE, TEARS, A TOUCH OF HUMOR AND MUCH FEELING AND COMPASSION. A TRULY MUST SEE MOVIE, THE SYNOPSIS POSTED WITH THE MOVIE DOES NOT DO IT CREDIT AT ALL, I ALMOST PASSED OVER VIEWING IT, GLAD I DID NOT!
