charlytully TWO WEEKS has at least three (3) f-words, one of which is right here in the "memorable quotes" section. If you have just two f-words or less, you're eligible for a PG-13 rating. If you have three, you're not. (One exception is ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, the 1976 winner of four Oscars, which got its original "R" rating changed to "PG" upon appeal when the producers explained you could not do a bio-pic about Richard Milhouse Nixon without having at least the 11 f-words which appeared in the final cut.) Believe it or not, most movie production people can count as high as three. Rationing out the f-words is the main way they CHOOSE their own rating. Anyone who watches TWO WEEKS will understand that the totally gratuitous f-words were included to "win" an "R" rating.Regarding that second Oscar which Sally Field did NOT win for TWO WEEKS: yes, EVERY lead character was eligible to be nominated for 2007 acting honors, because the film was playing on as many as three screens during the month of March (see the "Box Office\Business" section here). But no person has been nominated this century in the acting categories for a film with a domestic gross of under $50,000, and TWO WEEKS raked in only $45,816.

betsyd02 This is truly representative of what losing a loved one feels like--of course, sad. But, there is an element of humor, reaching for relief while recognizing in utter submission, our own mortality. And, of course, there is anger.This film is worth seeing. It was sweet and a wonderful tribute to a family going through a phase of life that we all will see. Sallie Fields and all the actors did a fantastic job. Thank you for making a film that means something. No car chases, but meaningful words and great acting.The R rating seems to be very harsh compared to the language.

bobrivers I read some bad reviews, but saw this film at a sneak preview with an audience that laughed out loud, some cried, and many stood in the lobby talking about it afterward. Sally Field puts it all on screen, and I've actually lived and felt many of the awkward experiences the humor is based on. I remember how difficult it was to suddenly be right back with my Brothers and Sisters dealing with the finality of what was about to happen. This movie captures that perfectly. At the same time, once you face it, you have to live, laugh, talk, and take care of details. A lot of the experiences in Two Weeks are so common to everyone, but NEVER really talked about.

drdowrite I saw "Two Weeks" at the Hampton Film Festival in a packed theater. While "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 and 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. I will be going to see it again when it opens in NYC on March 2nd.
