Two Days

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.

I just picked up Two Days on a whim at the rental store, and was more than pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I found Paul Rudd's performance moving and the rest of the characters to be involved in a sort of black comedy. I don't usually comment on movies but I wouldn't want the previous user's comment to dissuade someone from seeing a worthwhile film. Subjects don't have to be dissected in order for them to have meaning, so I don't feel that the film needed any improvement. I found the crafting of the screenplay itself to be original, even for an independent film. In response to the prior user's comment on the lack of reflection on suicide, I'd like to contend that Two Days is not a film about suicide, it's a film about life.

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)
