Plot: In this romantic comedy, a journalist who's become too much the life of the party finds a new lease on life in a drug and alcohol treatment center. New York newspaper columnist Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) has a fondness for liquor, a boyfriend (Dominic West) with a similar taste for the bottle, and a party girl image that camouflages plenty of emotional baggage. At the wedding of her sister (Elizabeth Perkins), Gwen's pursuit of a good time goes a bit too far when she topples the wedding cake and steals the bridal party's limousine. The result is a court-ordered, 28-day stay in a rehabilitation facility for drug and alcohol abusers. Gwen's failure to get with the program causes her to butt heads with the clinic's director (Steve Buscemi), but her attitude begins to change when she meets Eddie Boone (Viggo Mortensen), a baseball player trying to deal with his substance abuse problems. Diane Ladd, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Azura Skye play Gwen's fellow rehab inmates, and legendary roots rock band NRBQ performs at the wedding reception. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Sandra Bullock Shines!!!
Added 10/24/2009

First of all, this movie should definitely be seen by anyone who loves great acting by a fantastic leading actress and love gripping dramas that really take your heart. Sandra Bullock shines as a woman who crashes her sister's limo from her wedding into a residential house and has to spend 28 days in rehab where she tries to find the person she really is behind her alcoholism. Throughout the movie, she lights up the screen with her dynamic acting mixed with some humor that would make this film a must see for any sandra fan or people who love a good drama with heart!

Watching Sandra Bullock play something that you could never imagine her being, is very well done! She is fun and still her naturally goofy self. This gets a little heart warming and it's still a great love story. I definitely recommend watching this!

28 Days DVD
Added 4/6/2009

I have never received the product. I ordered it March 3, was informed it had been shipped, guaranteed delivery within 15 working days, and my credit card was charged. I have sent emails to both Amazon.com and DVD Legacy, but have not received any information regarding my movies. I ordered 6 copies of the movie "28 Days' for use in a college course I am teaching.

Recovery Lite
Added 1/26/2009

Addiction is a devastating ailment that destroys lives, relationships, and families. And it's not pretty to look at; for a compelling, yet emotionally draining, look at alcoholism you can really wrap your arms around, check out When A Man Loves A Woman.

Which is why I'm still torn over 28 DAYS. This film addresses addiction, yet often in a comedic, lighthearted way. And I like that. . .to some degree. Yet I often wonder if this approach somehow sterilizes the ominous undertones and consequences of addiction--and the difficulties of recovery. But enough of my own personal dilemma. . .

Sandra Bullock plays (and plays well) a boozing, pill-popping party girl who goes on a binge that lands her in rehab; her journey--from being a rebel in denial to a fragile young woman coping with her fragility--is moving and compelling. Dominic West is exceptional as Bullock's equally out-of-control boyfriend; Elizabeth Perkins also holds up her own as Bullock's older, often judgmental sister. Of the fellow recovering addicts, Viggo Mortensen's character was never fully vetted, while Alan Tudyk as a rather flamboyant (and that's putting it mildly) light-in-the-loafers German is hysterical. Overall a great cast that tackles a dark subject in both dark and light tones; here's hoping the lightheartedness of 28 DAYS doesn't sugarcoat a very serious matter.
