Two Days

I really enjoyed the cast of this film. Paul Rudd was really good. I usually see him as a funny guy, but he acted more dramatic in this film and he was pretty good. There was one scene towards the end that really got to me and I didn't know Paul Rudd could act like that. The film had an interesting story line. It is about a man who wants to kill himself and he has some of his friends video tape it like a documentary. The only problem with this film was that it seemed too boring at times. Like there was not much going on. Some of the characters personalities made up for it at points, but not all the time. Adam Scott was pretty funny as his character. His outfits were probably the best. So overall, it was a decent film. I just wanted to see more to it.

To start, the only complaint I have with this film was its length. Too short. Plain & simple, I wanted more. The acting was superb, the character development was anything but weak, despite what some skeptics may say, and the writing was dead on. I was most impressed with Paul Rudd's performance, but that's no surprise. He is an incredible actor with more talent in his pinky than most A-list hacks put together. He deserves so much credit & critical acclaim, but is generally relegated to character roles and cameos. Then again, who says character acting is such a bad thing. That is where many of the greatest performances come out.

Also, I could have done without the sidestory of Jennifer & the sound guy. Interesting, but not necessary.

And nomatter how some may speculate, I am a sap for happy endings and I don't believe he kills himself in the ocean. Just like I don't believe that Christian Bale drowns himself in the pool in Laurel Canyon.

Definitely NOT a feel good movie if you're planning for a night in with the ladies, but I promise you won't be disappointed if you are a fan of low budget independent films! The story revolves around an out of work actor (Paul Rudd) whose depression over the way his life has turned out, leads him to film a documentary about his last days before committing suicide.

Although I found some of the dialogue a little drawn out and the pacing a little on the slow side, I felt the acting was superb. At times it seemed as though the actors were improving their scenes which made the story more unique to me. Definitely have to give credit to Paul Rudd's performance in this role! (8/10)

I won't say that this is an excellent movie...there are things that would have certainly made it better. I thought that some of the actual movie footage was distracting. There was so much footage of the documentary (and the documentary of the documentary) that I found the cuts back to actual movie distracting at times (yes, this was really a movie about a documentary and a documentary about that documentary).

That having been said, I thought there was a lot to like about the movie as well. The acting was very very good (Paul Rudd was especially good). It was also (I thought) a rather novel approach to the subject matter. Definitely worth watching.

One of the hardest things to pull off is a comedy mixed with serious drama. This film does it well. The acting is superb and the story is engaging.

Most of the craziness revolves around the main character, who remains steadfast in his resolve to kill himself even as others plot to change his mind or refuse to take him seriously. The actress who plays his girl friend, Rachel, could be the next Halle Berry. Beautiful and talented. Some of the other actors are also deserving of bigger and better roles in the future.

This film just came out on DVD-- check it out.

In regard to the scene on the beach-- I think his intent is made clear by his statement about the credit cards.
