28 Days

Pros: Physical Comedy
Cons: Doesn't Take the Disease Seriously

After watching this movie I was amazed at how lightly this movie makes of a real disease.. Alcoholism is a very real disease. Not only does it affect the Alcoholic but the family and friends as well.

The movie only touched on the effects...

Pros: Provides a basic view of rehab. Bullock performs well.
Cons: All of the funny scenes were on the previews/commercials

28 Days is a dramatic interpretation of a month in the life of an addict. Life in a rehabilitation center is viewed with a touch of humor and humility, spirit and compassion. The movie, unlike many addicts’ lives, ends on a happy note.

...

Pros: Bullock, the cast
Cons: Story is rushed, needed to be more serious

I saw this movie because I like Sandra Bullock. She is kind of the girl next door, except that she is famous, successful, and a star. So, maybe that makes her not the girl next door?

Oh well, on to the movie. I will not rehash the plot, but...

Pros: Sandra Bullock Is Very Good
Cons: Cliched Story Can't Decide to be Comedy or Drama

Gwen is impossible to love. Now just how is that possible when you’ve got the ever-lovable Sandra Bullock in the role? Actually this may be the closest she has ever come to questionable behavior and unlikable actions during the course of a film. But it’s...

Pros: Some good acting, some honest moments
Cons: Type casting and predictable plot

Sigh.

I went to see Sandra B. stretch herself as an actress. I think she did try and does show potential for doing this. However,she can't get there if the script won't allow it and this by the numbers Hollywood script holds her firmly in...

Pros: Had me interested 75% of the time
Cons: The other 25%

"We didn't drink it. I threw it overboard."

Meet Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock), a successful New York writer who lives life in the very fast lane and never misses a party.

Jasper (English actor Dominic West) is the...

Pros: Steve Buscemi, Elezabeth Perkins, Alan Tudyk, Marianne Jean-Baptiste
Cons: went for the cheap laughs, sold itself short.

There I was with two tickets in hand, sitting at the preview, excited to be able to see 28 Days three days before its opening--and for free! This film certainly had moments--moments of poignant sadness, moments where they went for the easy laugh....

Pros: fun
Cons: a little messy

By all appearances, Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is a happy drunk. In the first few minutes of 28 Days, you see her partying intensively at a standard-looking movie-bar (dark with neon), having blurry sex with her boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West),...

Pros: Some really funny sceenes and touching realities of group life in therapy.
Cons: Not a date movie.

The reason I went to see "28 Days" was because I though Bullock was an interesting actress, at least from the commercials about the film, she appeared to be playing a funny role.

There is some typical scenes in this movie of group...

Pros: Great story, educational, good lesson, funny
Cons: A little predictable

Sandra Bullock's newest movie is sure to be a hit. 28 days is an excellently made film. Gwen (Bullock) is an often-drunk, crazy, out-of-control woman spending most of her time getting wasted with her boyfriend Jasper.

Gwen is sentenced to 28...

Pros: Sandra Bullock
Cons: The corny singing and going-ons in Serenity Glen

Gwen Cummings is an alcoholic and a drug addict. But hey, she will tell you that she can control her habit. She just doesn't want to. One day, she and boyfriend Jasper turn up totally drunk and zoned out at her sister Lilly's wedding and ruin it totally....

Pros: a film that has everything and in just the right amounts
Cons: maybe a little too optimistic for the premise

I usually stick to romantic comedies, but after While You Were Sleeping, I give most anything with Sandra Bullock in it a try. This movie wasn't what I expected, but turned out enjoyable to watch just the same. The best thing about this film is that it...

Pros: Well balanced, ambitious; strong supporting cast, Bullock was fantastic
Cons: Touchy subject for some; questionable how realistic the settings are

Most people that watch a movie have a schema that they have to use to pigeonhole a movie, so that it fits into their paradigm of how things are. Unfortunately, this practice sometimes leaves us without a clear understanding of the situation as we will...

Pros: If laughing and crying in a movie is a pro to you, you'll like it
Cons: A bit of stereotyped characters never hurt anyone

I must first admit that I have never been a Sandra Bullock fan. Watching her past films, Speed, While You Were Sleeping and Hope Floats, were the result a few nights of illegal cable (hey, I was poor) and insomnia. While I was trying to sleep, Sandra...

Pros: Funny and Sad
Cons: None

28 days is all about a drunk that crashes her sisters wedding. After falling on the wedding cake and driving away in the wedding limo that she crashes into a house, Gwen (Sandra Bullock) has to go to a rehabilitation facility for drug and alcohol...
