28 Days

Pros: Approaches the broad issues of addiction and its affects on one's personal well being.
Cons: Deeper analysis of the rehabilitation program would have enforced the films educational factor.

Being a person who found myself in a similar situation, I was compelled to view the showing of 28 Days. In this picture, I found the bitter truth and the humiliation of addiction while at times actually laughing about it. Sandra Bullock portrayed her...

Pros: believable performance from Bullock
Cons: not enough Buscemi

I must say that I am not a fan of Sandra Bullock by any means. I liked Hope Floats and I liked Practical Magic even better; however, there has always been something goody-goody about her that rubbed me the wrong way. So, I was curious to see 28 Days but...

Pros: If you like Sandra Bullock, I think you will like this movie.
Cons: None

She has done it again! Sandra Bullock has totally become her character of an out of control drunk + addict. You really got to know "Gwen" in this movie. She was definitely a party girl and the movie portrayed this wonderfully. Most people that go to...

Pros: Funny, and realistic
Cons: corny

28 Days was a decent movie. Like my mom always said, don't judge a book by it's cover. This certainly goes for 28 Days. This movie appeared to be an atrocious waste of time in the commercials, but when I went to see it.... well, I just loved it. And who...

Pros: This is a life like and funny but realistic movie!
Cons: none

This is the cutest movie, Sandra Bullock is so silly and so serious too!

She starts out as a journalist and a party girl who seems to never stop, until she totally ruins her sisters wedding! How embarrising! She got drunk one to...

Pros: Funny, good set of characters, and is somewhat touching.
Cons: Chanting (what's that about).

28 Days is a movie about a woman, Gwen, who is played by Sandra Bullock. Gwen single-handledly ruins her sister's wedding by:
1.) Waking up late and nearly missing the ceremony.
2.) Making a toast, which shocked her sister and the
...

Pros: Sandra Bullock of course
Cons: none

I saw this movie, why most other people did I think as well, because of Sandra Bullock. She is a wonderful actress, and of course when you see her in a up-coming film, you just have to go out and see it.

Although I wouldn't characterize...

Pros: strong story line and setting, funny, great cast, provides a in depth look on life
Cons: Could be better written in my eyes

When I first thought about seeing this movie I thought of a comedy. But withen the first 15 minutes I realized that I was in store for a really in depth movie. Along with the comedy and drama, I found that this movie is a very touching story and if you...

Pros: acting, storyline
Cons: didn't touch me deeply

Sandra Bullock shines bright in this movie about over-coming alcoholism and drug abuse. I enjoyed this movie because it was totally unexpected from what my perceptions of rehabilitation are. You rarely understand the pain and sacrifice it takes to...

Pros: Accurate depiction of real life rehab.
Cons: Forgoes responsibility as well as underlying problems

My mother is a recovering drug addict,so naturally I was curious as to how accurate this film would be. I was pleasantly surprised to find that most, not all, aspects were true to life. Such as withdrawl, humor to mask problems, and the interaction of...

Pros: Great breakout movie for Sandra Bullock
Cons: guys might not enjoy it as much as the gals

28 Days was a must-see movie for those who like chick-flicks. I rented this movie for a girls night at my house. I was not disappointed by this choice.

Sandra Bullock plays Gwen who from the beginning is obviously suffering through an alcohol...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Could be funnier.

One would think that with the use of alcohol and other drugs in Hollywood, someone would have done a treatment center flick before now. I have some insight into this world and I am here to tell you, this film is not near as funny as real life.

...

Pros: Short enough
Cons: No plot...no empathy for the characters...no conclusion

For the record, I was not the one who picked out the movie for this particular movie night. Perhaps it was because I was skeptical going into it or perhaps I've never really been really drunk but I don't think that anything in this movie really worked....

Pros: Strong statement about problem drinking but done with entertainment still intact.
Cons: Sandra does not seem the type to play this part but does!

Watching Sandra Bullock in 28 Days was not what I expected, IT WAS MUCH MORE! Seeing Party girl go from harmless fun to foolish, burden to the family was a great example of how drugs and alcohol can change anyone in to a problem. Sandra always plays...

Pros: humor, cast of good actors
Cons: unrealistic, not much depth

28 Days was a funny movie. It wasn't inspirational. It didn't delve into the complex process of a recovering alcoholic or drug addict. It didn't make me think twice about getting drunk at the wedding I'm going to be in next month.

Still, it...
