28 Days

Pros: Sandra Bullock in a different light - breaking away from the girl-next-door persona
Cons: Treating the serious of substance addiction a little too lightly.

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is a successful New York writer living life in the fast lane and everyone's favorite party girl. The problem, she often gets drunk with her boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) as well...

Pros: Great characters ALL OF THEM
Cons: The ending was cut a bit short

Just watched this movie and I loved it. The only problem is it's not the kind of movie I ever enjoy. I like schmucky chick flicks where the people are always beautiful and everything is rosey but the love lives (until the end where everyone gets what...

Pros: The dilemma of alcoholism is dealt with in a poignant way
Cons: The sickly-sweet moments can be a bit much too take

Some of the funniest moments of my life have been spent on the floor of a bar’s restroom. This has happened to me on more than one occasion, in more than one country, which is strange since I abhor alcohol. But I'm a shy gal who doesn't know how to...

Pros: great movie, it's funny but also sad at times, great acting, great everything!
Cons: none

This is the story of Gwen an alcoholic, prescription drug addict and an intensive party girl. Gwen's mother was pretty much the same way, that is before she died. Anyhow, Gwen one morning wakes up completely drunk from a night of partying, booze and...

Pros: Sandra Bullock
Cons: Offers little insight, delivers less, but who cares.

This movie is not a comedy, nor is it a tragedy. This movie is serious-lite. Like a lite beer, it is less filling but sometimes it hits the spot.

Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is an alcoholic, but don't expect falling down drunken...

Pros: Sandra Bullock!!! Great flick
Cons: not as funny as suspected

I love Sandra Bullock! She is one of my all time favorite actress' and will always be. I saw '28 Days' recently and thought it was a great movie! I have a bad memory so I will be mentioning the cast as 'old grumpy guy' and 'gay guy'. The movie is about a...

Pros: Sandra Bullock & Viggo Mortenson
Cons: Fuzzy out of focus filming

Seeing "28 Days" was a mistake for me...it wasn't the movie I had intended to see but a woman coming out of the theatre said it was fantastic, and liking Sandra Bullock I went in. Sandra is darling and her acting is good enough but the subject...

Pros: Good movie that brings awareness to people about the affects of alcohol.
Cons: Some people just may not like the movie for personal reasons.

Just a little drinke-poo is what they say, only one more they beg. Who are they? Alcoholics. These are not people to be ridiculed and laughed at, they are people who have a serious disease. This movie is not only a great time, but it is also a good movie...

Pros: Great movie to take a friend that may need their eyes opened.
Cons: There should have been more families in the group sessions.

"28 days" Starts out with Gwen Cummings, "Sandra Bullock" and her boy friend Jasper, "Dominic West" going to parties and bar hopping thinking they are having the best times of their lives. Of course with Gwen being the wild...

Pros: Sandra Bullock
Cons: Has Been done better before

I went to see this film because of the subject matter, Sandra Bullock, and the previews.

What has become all too common, the non cured rehab cycle, is shown in 28 Days. Unfortunately, for me this presentation could not decide whether it...

Pros: not much
Cons: doesn't work at all

It’s a sure sign of weak screenplay when the only method of producing laughs is through character flaws and weaknesses. It’s a sign a horrible screenplay when the comedy also tries to be dramatic. 28 Days does this and what happens is a movie that never...

Pros: Bullock at her best
Cons: A little cliche and predictable.

Sandra Bullock isn't the most versatile actress in Hollywood. Sandra Bullock isn't the most talented actress either. But, Sandra Bullock manages to be so appealing to me. It might be her "southern" (she spent a lot of her childhood in...

Pros: pretty funny, realistic plot
Cons: last 30 - 45 mins seemed rushed

This is a quality movie. It comedifies a rehab center for substance abuse. Throughout the movie, the characters engage in funny situations that seem plausible. The movie also has its serious sides though. It shows how alcohol and other substances...

Pros: Good for a laugh or two
Cons: Uninteresting and sort of slow

The best word I can think of to describe 28 Days is "blah". At least, that was the word that kept surfacing in my mind as I watched this duller-than-dirt drama.

Sandra Bullock stars as a writer sentenced to 28 days in rehab...

Pros: acting, plot, universal theme
Cons: the title

This is not your typical Sandra Bullock movie. Although there are some similarities with "Hope Floats", it is virtually a new role for her. She portrays the daughter of an alcoholic mother whose only real family is a disapproving sister.
