As usual I loved this movie-I have always been a fan of Sally Field-I think she does an excellent job of convincing the audience of the sincerity of her character. I want that pink couch (love seat) that was in the movie. Pink is my favorite color (I have dusty rose carpet throughout my house) and that pink couch would finish the look. Please let me know where I can get that couch! Thank you. Sally is wonderful in this movie and of course made me cry-I can't imagine how hard it would be to be dying and hoping that the children don't argue about anything. Sally made me also laugh with her comments about her "favorite" child.

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.

I had the opportunity to preview this movie in New York City and I was very touched by the performances. It made me laugh, cry and sometimes both at the same time. I was very impressed by the actors and I thought they accurately portrayed what a family would go thru if they were losing a loved one. I think if anyone has ever had to live thru losing a loved one they will appreciate the honesty of this film. I hope it gets to theaters so others can experience this film. I especially thought Sally Field was at her best with a flawless performance. I also really enjoyed seeing Tom Cavanagh on the big screen since I was a huge fan of the TV show Ed. Ben Chaplin and Julianne Nicholson were both great and give heart to this film.

I have seen several movies and TV shows with Julianne Nicholson playing various roles, such as Tully, Law and Order, Ally McBeal, The Love Letter, Little Black Book etc. She has been excellent in all of those roles. She is a great young actress who brings an exceptionally down to earth and believable presence to the characters she has played. She is pretty, but not "beautiful", which is refreshing, seeing that most of the "beautiful" actresses do not look like real people. Mostly, she is natural; sort of like a female version of the younger Robert DiNiro. Why has she not been offered any of the major/lead roles that some of her less talented female colleagues, too often, have received?
