by JAGUARDOG  - Top 200, Apr 27 '00
Pros: "AZURA SKYE" playing roommate Andrea
Cons: NEEDED A FEW MORE FUNNY PARTS
INTRO:
I saw “28 DAYS” today because I like “Sandra Bullock”. She is one of my two favorite female Movie Stars along with “Julia Roberts” that I go see every one of their Movies. It doesn’t matter what type of Movie they are in or if...

Pros: great story, lots of meaning, laughs and tears, Sandra Bullock,
Cons: a few small flaws in the details of the story
Confront me if I don't ask for help! How many of us out there need this sign? No, not everyone who is unable to ask for or accept help is a alcoholic or drug addict but this movie will still show you how important it is to just ask when you need...

Pros: Sobering Look at a Serious Subject
Cons: Thin Plot and Weak Direction
Bullock is Believable
Yes, this movie reinforces stereotypes of writers in New York City living lives of drunken and drugged excess. But the movie also presents a sobering picture of the struggles through and probabilities of success...

Pros: teaches a good lesson, great acting, very well put together plot
Cons: some scene questionable
My roommate and I decided we both wanted to go see a movie this weekend and with some many new and good movies out right now had a hard time choosing. I wanted to see Return to Me and she wanted to see 28 Days. After having to flip for it, we...

Pros: Funny and entertaining, sad at times
Cons: None
I can't remember the last time I paid full price to see a Sandra Bullock movie in a theater. Her recent movies have all been ones I was willing to wait to see on video. But I really wanted to see 28 Days. I saw it and feel it was worth the price...

Pros: Sandra Bullock delivers a compelling, convincing performance
Cons: Betty Thomas's direction seems unfocused and scattered
The girl-next-door has grown up and she's got a problem. Sandra Bullock takes a brave dramatic leap as a drunk stumbling on her way to sobriety in the contemporary cautionary tale.
Written by Susannah Grant ("Erin...

by ChrisJoker , Apr 30 '00
Pros: Solid acting; good script
Cons: None
A large part of the movie-going public, myself included, tends to gravitate towards movies with certain “big name stars” because we have a general idea of what to expect from those performers. For example, when you head out to see a Tom Cruise movie,...

Pros: both funny and poignant.
Cons: some cliches. not enough development of other characters.
Yeah, yeah, so it took me a long time to finally see this movie. I realize that my opinion will probably mean nothing to you now since the movie's almost regulated to the dollar theaters, but I need the money because I'm out of vodka because "I'm a...

by Andrew_Hicks - Top 500, Apr 17 '00
Pros: Funnier than you'd think
Cons: Contrived, makes sap out of something serious
28 Days is the first of what may be a series of charming, “sign of the times” lightweight comedies. It takes a few serious problems – alcoholism, addiction, suicide and self-mutilation – and wraps them up in a nice Sandra Bullock-vehicle bow....

by beasmith , Dec 15 '01
Pros: A good-fun film, providing a giggle, but not forgetting deeper issues.
Cons: Some people may find that this film takes serious subject matter too lightly.
Depending on what you're looking for, 28 Days could be just the ticket for you. Steer clear if you're looking for a sober (no pun intended) film about the harrowing experience of alcohol and drug withdrawal, but by all means dig in if you're in...

Pros: Sandra Bullock
Cons: Sandy can't rehabilitate this horrible, cliched script.
With each passing film, one thing becomes readily apparent: Sandra Bullock is currently the biggest wasted talent in Hollywood. She has charm, sex appeal, charisma and, most importantly, she can act. The kid is a natural. Well, a natural film talent....

Pros: Great characters, funny, and well-done flashback scenes.
Cons: A little flippant with the recovery process.
As seen in the trailers,
Gwen is having a bad day. A series of them, in fact. After ruining her sister's wedding by falling into the cake, she steals a car and runs into a house. Worse, she's sentenced to either 28 days in a rehabilitation...

by peromyscus , Apr 07 '00
Pros: Well-scripted, avoiding the serious pitfalls that it could have fallen into; many brilliant moments.
Cons: Some overly melodramatic and 2 dimensional characters occasionally peer through a shielding script, with some cheesy moments.
This film, in addition to the standard risks involved in film making (not to mention casting Sandra Bullock), was faced with botching an easily mishandled topic, turning it into a cheese-fest of Barbara Walters documentary proportions.
I'm...

by pelirojo18 - Top 1000, Dec 03 '00
Pros: Comedy and drama
Cons: intense subject matter at times
To be honest, i only went to the theatre because I have made a personal pact to see anything that Sandra Bullock is in at least once. So I walked in and took my seat expecting to see Speed 3 or something to that effect....Needless to say, I am...

Pros: entertaining, will open your mind
Cons: kinda light, not realistic
No, this did not depict alcohol or drug rehab in an extremely realistic light, yes, there were many holes in the plot, and nobody I know has ever made a complete turnaround in less than a month, but see this movie anyway.
28 Days was...
