    "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)nd honest film. Sally Field is wonderful as the strong and funny matriarch who stares death down. Her performance is powerful and complex. Ben Chaplin, Tom Cavanaugh and Julianne Nicholson deliver honest and subtle performances. They truly seem like a family sharing all of the affection, sorrow and conflict you would expect of siblings going through such a difficult experience. The film is funny and moving.

    A 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)ings. They (altogether) deal with the decline of their mother's health, and the grief surrounded in laying her to rest in scattering her ashes.

    Memorable scenes: 1) The grocery store, where the boys are buying stuff and they get thrown out. 2) The siblings are debating whether to carry through with scattering their mother's ashes, one by one, they work through it.

    Sally Field is amazing. She absolutely breaks my heart in this movie. Anyone who has had a close member pass away from cancer like myself just recently, can relate to this story. This movie takes you to where many of us have been when they are all coming together to say goodbye to a loved one. This movie will have you back and forth from tears to laughter. Sally field is one who never disappoints with another brilliant performance. A must see.

    i 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.

    Very 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...

    This 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)as a good film and worth seeing. I'd definitely recommend it!
