kmev This movie is an interesting take on life, suicide, and human behaviour. I enjoyed watching it. Good performance from Paul Rudd and good suspense. I can't properly capture the gist of the film with words but it gave me lots to think about the human condition. *****Warning, may contain spoilers below:*****Even though there is an element of make-believe implied in all movies, there are still some logistical points I have. First of all, it seems odd to promise to kill yourself in two days, so much so you have assembled a whole crew to film it, yet at the same time have absolutely no thoughts whatsoever as to how you might do it. This is especially surprising since, in the film, character Paul Miller states his mind has been made up and he's already thought killing himself through. Next, the film ignores the risks of CO poisoning and, despite the fact it appears Paul is in his car for a long time (I am under the impression you would die in 5-10 minutes), he is still able to pry open the car door and wakes up a while later with only a few side effects(perhaps the movie tried to show memory loss as having him not remember waking up earlier in the hospital?). Also, I suspect he would have likely been blinded and in worse condition but I'm no expert (disclaimer). His "2-day-old-friendship friend" would have also been in considerable danger so I was left wondering what happened to him. In fact, this friend was present for most of the suicide and after.Lastly, the ending was amazing but for it to occur Paul just up and left the hospital. It is a huge process to leave a psych ward because the wards are locked down and patients are usually fitted with monitors. And if you just killed yourself, you would generally have a monitor and constant surveillance every 5 minutes. You might even be locked in one room if you're only in an emergency ward. Either way, in real life the ending still could have occurred after he left the hospital heavily medicated after a lengthy discharge process with a guardian there to monitor and escort him out but that ruins the magic so we'll leave it.But either way, I liked the portrayal of Paul Miller so I shall let these minor queries/technicalities slide. This film really spoke to me personally at the time. 7/10

supertacos The highest praise I can sing for this movie is that it doesn't condescend to the very serious issue of depression and suicide. It is laugh-out-loud funny at times, insightful, and very honest. Though something within me was hoping for a ballsier ending, I respect the filmmakers choices, and through the flaws, this is a very good film. Adam Scott and Paul Rudd are ridiculously on point (as always), and the suspense builds up in a real and meaningful way. If you can dig the super low-budget vibe, I highly recommend this. I literally found a copy on DVD for about 88 cents, so I'm sure you can find a copy if you really want it.

BigHardcoreRed I found this to be an interesting look into the life of someone who has decided he no longer wants to live. Furthermore, I figure most people could probably relate to what Paul Miller (Paul Rudd) was feeling and thinking. I certainly could. I believe this must have been written by someone who has been through some similar circumstances and understands what a suicidal person is thinking. The main difference between a regular suicidal person and Paul Miller is that Paul is an actor and decides to have his last 2 days documented (thus the title). The reason is not explained as to why he decides this and I don't believe that this was a last ditch effort for fame because Paul really does want to kill himself. What good would being famous do if you are dead?Near as I can guess, he wants this to be more than just a suicide note and for everybody close to him to understand why he has made this decision, although it does not go into that much either, mostly because his friend, Stu (Adam Scott) has a different vision of the film, complete with a happy ending.Stu proclaims at the beginning of the film that he will do whatever he has to in order to stop Paul from killing himself. He tries everything he can think of in order to change Paul's mind, but seemingly can not. Everyone else involved with the documentary within the movie (like Drop Dead Gorgeous, but not as funny), does not believe that Paul has the guts to commit suicide and does not take him seriously. Everyone from his crew to former girlfriends and friends within the industry feel the same.. that he just wants attention. Once his crew realizes that Paul really does plan on killing himself, the feel of the movie takes a different turn. I can't really go much further without giving away the only true spoiler this movie could have, whether or not Paul decides to do it, so I'll just leave it at that. I think this is a good, not great, movie. It is worth a rental if you want something different. I give this movie 6.5 stars out of 10.

rainbowdemon I saw hundreds of movies in my life, only a few of them had affect on me like this movie. People may like it or not, it still influence your thoughts and emotions, and the superb acting of the main character only adds to the authenticity of the story. Besides that, the movie is very original (even though it's influenced from some reality shows). Although the movie talks about very serious matter, it does it in very "friendly" way, you feel comfortable with the character. Still, it seems that even if everything is seems to be Okay, It's NOT. And that's, I believe, the real story of the movie.Besides that, It's a great shame that the movie didn't hit the cinemas, in my country anyway, I believe that people must see this movie, even just for the thoughts that come up from that movie.
