Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
It's messy and painful, eased only the admirable modesty of Stockman's writing and direction.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Sally Field's flawless performance as a mother whose imminent death reunites her four grown children elevates a fairly formulaic melodrama in the made-for-Lifetime mode into something considerably more memorable.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Two Weeks gets into serious trouble in its clumsy attempts to offset the sadness and anxiety with humor. This pursuit of sitcom levity contaminates a movie that might have been an American answer to the hardheaded Romanian masterpiece "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu."
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Tim Grierson
Though the subdued performances every so often find a poignantly understated moment, on the whole Two Weeks feels too detached and well-mannered for its own good.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust
Despite striking a chord in terms of sibling politics and the inelegant ways we deal with death, Two Weeks too often feels as if it's destined for heavy rotation on the Lifetime Movie Network.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Casting choices seem oddly random (only Cavanagh and Nicholson have any familial chemistry). And the humor, which is vital to a movie this inherently grim, falls flat.
Read Full Review >Washington Post John Maynard
To paraphrase her infamous Oscar speech: You will have to like Sally Field, you will have to really like Sally Field, to sit through Two Weeks.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
The script is not without some perceptive observations about family dynamics, but the problematic tone keeps getting in the way. A little absurdist levity in these instances always helps to prevent things from becoming too maudlin, but in Stockman's hands, the played-for-laughs elements in this tragicomedy feel forced rather than organic, ultimately creating an emotional disconnect with the viewer.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Picture veers unsteadily between melodrama and light comedy, with no confidence in either.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
A low-key Field is the best thing about Two Weeks, which is set in a Wilmington, N.C., where everyone mysteriously sounds like he just got off a Los Angeles freeway.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein
Although well intentioned, has the superficial gloss of a TV movie of the week.

Wow - what a sad, over dramatic, under acted, cringe worthy screenplay.
Sarah P. gave it a9:
I saw this at the Hamptons Film Festival this year, and it was great! My family went through something similar, and this movie had everything we went through-- laughter and tears. Sally Field is amazing, and all the acting is great. If you're looking for a movie with real emotion, that's really about something important, Two Weeks is it.
Tammy S. gave it a10:
Great script, cast and crew! It really comes together. Critics are way off on this one....it is a MUST SEE!
