Two Weeks Reviews
An awkward hybrid of earnest weepiness and bouncy lightheartedness.
| Apr 3, 2007
Field looks appropriately wiped out. Although given how brittle, awkward, and completely uninteresting her younger co stars are, she could just be exasperated -- she's doing all the lifting.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 16, 2007
You will have to like Sally Field, you will have to really like Sally Field, to sit through Two Weeks.

The movie's warm advocacy of hospice, with all the dignity such end-of-life care provides, does real, influential good.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 7, 2007
The well-intentioned screenplay is all over the map, with many scenes too truncated to go anywhere dramatically or emotionally. Is a cancer movie that leaves you dry-eyed an oxymoron?
| Original Score: 2/6 | Mar 3, 2007
There is much to like in this poignant movie about those who leave this life and those left behind, but Two Weeks never quite pulls everything off.

Attempts at black humor, although not unrealistic during such a trying time, fall flat. Far worse than not laughing at the jokes, you're unlikely to be moved to tears at sad moments.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 2, 2007
Overall, 온라인카지노추천 veteran Stockman isn't terribly skillful at meshing comedy and drama.

In the deathbed drama Two Weeks, Sally Field creates an agonizing portrait of a middle-aged American everywoman in the final stages of ovarian cancer.

In his uneven drama Two Weeks, first-time feature director Steve Stockman bravely delves into the ugly realities of dying. Unfortunately, he has no idea where to go from there.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 2, 2007
For all the vomiting and the runny noses, Two Weeks feels a little too cozy to fully pass muster as art.

There are worse things than death to look forward to, like having to sit through The Barbarian Invasions a second time.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 27, 2007
An ineffective would-be tear-jerker that proves the adage 'dying is easy, comedy is hard.'
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 30, 2006
Writer-director-producer Steve Stockman's ineffectual shrug of a death-bed dramedy hardly inspires much response one way or the other.

With Sally Field as the cancer-ridden mom and the combined talents of Ben Chaplin, Julianne Nicholson and Tom Cavanagh surrounding her, pic veers unsteadily between melodrama and light comedy, with no confidence in either.

While life is known to stumble across humor at the most inopportune of moments, Stockman's story strains for irreverence at every turn, and the results serve to undercut those potentially more stirring moments.
