The horrifying and graphic scenes of illness are juxtaposed with comedy that sometimes works to raise the mood—but usually comes off as contrived. Each of the four adult children copes with the mother’s death differently, and the movie focuses on their interactions with each other as they make it through the titular two weeks.
