28 Days was released in 2000 and stars Sandra Bullock as Gwen Cummings, whose life at the start of the film is one huge party. She goes from one drunken night to another with her partner Jasper (Dominic West), and pops a few pills just for good measure. Things come to a head when her behaviour completely destroys her sister Lily (Elizabeth Perkins)'s wedding day, and as a consequence is sentenced to 28 days rehabilitation. The rest of the film charts her rehabilitation and how her Counsellor, Cornell Shaw (Steve Buscemi) and the other rehab patients affect her life - and how she affects theirs. She starts off very much with a belligerent attitude of "I ...  Read the complete review

28 days - a movie following a potentially stereotypical story of an alcoholic getting through rehab. At face value this storyline appears to lack originality, but what could be disappointing because it's been done so many times before, turns out to actually be one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a while. 28 Days walks a fine line between comedy and a serious message and thankfully does it SO much better than the similar offerings I've seen which are oh so serious and intense. In my experience, comedy, if done well (and not overdone!) is a fantastic way of getting your audience to take their guard down and listen to you, and this movie is ...  Read the complete review

Film only 28 days stars Sandra Bullock as Gwen Cummings an alcoholic journalist who is faced with either 28 days in rehab or a jail sentence after smashing up a limo whilst being drunk.

28 Days was released in the year 2000 and directed by Betty Thomas. It also stars one of my favourite actresses in the lead role, Sandra Bullock. I have alway admired her work and think she is pretty good in most of the performances and roles she undertakes. In my opinion I thought the plot was quite strong and the movie went along at a reasonable enough pace to keep the interest alive. As stated Sandra Bullock stars in this movie as the lead role playing Gwen Cummings. At the beginning of the movie we see her go from one drunken night to the next in what is one huge party. Things get out of hand when she wrecks her sister's wedding day though due to her ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely loved this movie. I have a soft spot for Sandra Bullock, every movie she is in I have to give it a chance. This movie had a great storyline and some great actors playing some very colorful and funny characters. This story is a little different which is why I like it so much. It deals with some very real issues that many people face in this world, but puts a fun spin on it. The story is about Gwen Cummings, played by Sandra Bullock who is very fond of alcohol. Her boyfriend, played by Dominic West, helps her along with this addiction seeing as he has the same addiction to alcohol that she does. When Gwen ruins her sisters wedding during one of her ...  Read the complete review
