Critics Consensus

Sally Field gives it her all, but this excessively maudlin family drama feels like it takes Two Weeks to finish.

An awkward hybrid of earnest weepiness and bouncy lightheartedness. Go to Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe 03/16/2007

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. Go to Full Review John Maynard Washington Post 03/15/2007

Sally Field gives a brave and convincing portrayal of a woman facing death. It's a heartbreaking performance and Field attacks the mental and physical pain facing Anita with veracity. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 09/24/2007

TWO WEEKS offers some positive views on hospice care and tackles head-on a theme that few American features do, but it lacks the gravitas of something like the European drama THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

05/06/2022 Such a real, moving movie. Must see so you understand better the process See more 05/10/2021 This is a really good movie. Both funny and sad. You'll laugh out loud and cry out loud. It did horrible at the box office, 2006-2007. I suspect this time period was the beginning of the end of people's support of Hollywood films, unless they were huge blockbusters. People got tired of celebrities pontificating politically. See more 04/16/2021 Another movie where the creators are given no option but to appeal to the lowest denomination of vapid movie goers and maybe fans of Sally Field, the queen of superficial compassion. None of the roles give any of the characters enough density as grieving siblings who's lost humor is so thin and unoriginal. This film lacked the edginess that defines a good Dark Comedy. Sally field may be dieing but her hair color, oddly a silky bouncy beautiful chestnut brown will not betray her youthful face with a single strand of grey. See more 07/09/2020 I loved it. I’ve been in that situation, with friends his family, and it felt just like that. It was touching it was heart wrenching and of course Sally Fields S always gave an amazing performance! Y’all reviewers get off your high horse is it was a good movie. See more 03/29/2014 One of my absolute favorite movies! See more 02/06/2013 An interesting and ultimately depressing movie that was at times hard to watch. The story of a family who have grown apart as they grow older isn't exactly an overly original idea, in fact nothing in this film is fresh or original, except for the scene where the rabbi is yelling at the comatose mother - that was pretty funny. Regardless of whether this film treads old ground, it is still an interesting and enlightening film to watch. Sally Field is amazing as the dying mother, at times you can't help but get a lump in your throat when she's on screen, truly an amazing actress. With her death being inevitable the audience plays a waiting game to see how it will play out. The banter between the four children, and at times their spouses is on the whole entertaining black comedy, but nothing in this film raises it above a good film that will mostly likely fly under the radar and in time be forgotten.
