Summary: what a sad world we live in.
Review: They say that art reflects society and it is no wonder that Bush is president and the whole world has gone mad killing each other over religion when movies like Two Days are made. The film is the worst i have ever seen by far, a motiveless paul rudd who gives a terrible performance tries to convince us that he wants to kill himself cause he cant get work as an actor in sunny LA and afford a BMW, this in itself is a flawed idea but trust me when i tell you it sinks lower than dolly partons [...] as the story, or lack there off, unfolds. No real characters, just cliche's, absolutely no direction whatsoever, nothing is achieved visually just a bunch of talking heads that fail to convince us of anything else except what fools we were for watching this film. By the end of it i wanted to kill myself in couldnt wait two days!!! Who made this film?????

Summary: I disagree
Review: After reading the reviews above I decided to chime in with my two cents. Although I agree Joe Public may find this movie a bit dry and at times unrealistic I must say that this is an unfair assesment and that the film has it's audience. Currently I am working on my masters in Psychology and I must say that the depiction of an individual who is seriously considering suicide is far more accurate than most films today. Despite popular opinion, those who attempt suicide are rarely brudding goths who always see the more morbid side of things and listen to Metallica. They are generally normal people who just feel tired and lost, something that Paul Rudd brings across in spades. Although they seldom film their deaths, most suicide attempties do discuss killing themselves and are often aware of how "indulgent" it may seem to others, a point discussed in the film. Thus it is unfair to say that this movie is bad based on a half founded belief that the content is unrealistic.

Summary: 2 Days...in the valley...of boring movies.
Review: As everybody knows, my wife loves only two things in the world more than Paul Rudd: me and justice. So of course we rented this underwhelming movie.

I've got to say that Paul Rudd gives a great performance, as he does in pretty much everything he's in. Everyone else in this mockumentary acts pretty "big."

The story is that Rudd's character (cleverly named Paul) is going to kill himself in 2 days. And he has a documentary film crew following him, most of whom try to save him. There are parts of the final ten minutes that are effectively disturbing. But for the most part, the film is pretty weak.

Again, Paul Rudd is better than the material and his fellow actors. Oh, also Mackenzie Astin (the non-Hobbity Astin) is convincing in the movie as an actor, which is no small feat given that he himself hasn't worked much since Edna's Edibles burned down.

Summary: Interesting
Review: I disagree with the above review written by Mo Ramchandani and strangely enough, I took a look at 2 Days and noticed that the film was produced by an individual with the same name. Either this is an amazing coincidence or this person has some sort of axe to grind with the film that apparently he himself is at least partially responsible for. Either way, it's a good film. It's a shame there isn't some sort of vetting process to prevent strange characters like this Mo Ramchandani from using this forum to file his own petty grievances.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so interesting Mocumentary...
Review: I rented "2 Days" because the premise sounded intriguing enough: An actor who decides to kill himself in 2 days has a film crew follow him around up until the very end. Maybe if this had been a documentary on a real person's life it could have worked. But I found this movie to be very unreal and unsatisfying. Don't get me wrong, Paul Rudd is a good actor and quite sexy I might add, but I could barely keep myself awake to watch the movie in it's entirety. It wasn't a horrible movie, but I can understand why it went straight to video. When killing yourself in two days starts looking more appealing than continuing to watch this movie... well, I'd say it's failed as good entertainment.

Summary: terrible
Review: I tend to agree with Mo Ramchandani's review, this is a terrible film and given that it went straight to video is a miracle, it really should have gone straight to RADIO. What is interesting is how our friend Albert made the connection between Mo Ramchandani who reveiwed the film and MOHIT Ramchandani who produced Two Days, could they be the same person, pherhaps, but what is more obvious is that Albert is really an alias for acclaimed director Sean Mcginly continues promoting his film. I am a huge fan of Mcginly's other work starring Karl Wiedergott "The Truth about Juliet". Sheer Genius!! speaking of strange charcters, how would albert come to the conclusion that Mo Ramchandani is filing a petty grieveance, could he not juts be an honest producer who has gone on to bigger and better things????

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: garbage
Review: I think producer Mo Ramchandani should be commended for his integrity in honestly reviewing his own film. This is rare in an industry that is proliferated with bald old men who are more interested in turning a profit than producing a good film. This was by far the worst film i have ever seen, i urge anybody on this page not to waste their time. Director Sean Mcginly should have been fired on the first day of shooting and replaced with anyone, even a farm animal, and then maybe the psycholgical complexities of suicide would have been better explored. I look forward to more from producer Mo Ramchandani, its clear he's not going to make teh smae mistake twice!!!!!

Summary: Sean Mcginly Fan disapointed
Review: im a huge fan of writer Sean Mcginly, his classics include Venomous starring Treat williams and Sonic Impact with Ice-T. Mcginly's films are the topic of discussion at film schools all across the world, he is a renowned talent and i have to say that i was appalled when i saw his latest film Two Days. i think he should stick to writing as the film was virtually without direction and the cast (which included hacks like Paul Rudd) was not in the same league as superstars Traci Bingham and Ice-T who have graced some of his previous work. Please Sean, stick to doing what you know best and stay away from the intellectual stuff, leave that to idiots like Capra, Wenders, Scorcese etc. They are not in your league.

Summary: I wanted to kill myself!
Review: We must have reached the End of Days. Our civilization as we know it is over when films like these get made. What can I say, this home video is so amateurish it should not have ever found its way into my video store. Because the premise sounded promising and the cast was decent, I gave this title a try. Mistake! BIG MISTAKE! The film is a random compilation of pointless scenes, dwelling on the melodramatic life of Paul Rudd, who because he failed as an actor, wants to kill himself. Yet I am never given any believable insight into his soul nor do I care about his failure. This is some of the whiniest filmmaking I have ever seen. Who ever made this film is trying too hard to be heard, although apparently has very little to say!
