  1. The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.

    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.
  3. 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.

    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.

    Great script, cast and crew! It really comes together. Critics are way off on this one....it is a MUST SEE!

    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. Expand
