From director Betty Thomas (Dr. Dolittle, Private Parts) comes 28 DAYS, the story of Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock), a successful New York writer living in the fast lane and everyone's favorite party girl - until she gets drunk with boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West), borrows her sister's (Elizabeth Perkins) wedding limo and earns herself a stay in court-ordered rehab.

 The People's Review of 28 Days

Carey 
score = 50 
The movie tried to capture the serious and humorous aspects of alcoholism and failed miserably at each. Sandra is a talented actress but this vehicle would have been hard for anyone to ride. Alcoholism is a serious desease. These types of pictures, which addresses it with ambivalence do more harm than good....28 days...zap! it's gone, I think not!

Nicole M. 
score = None 
I thought this was a great movie. It really showed the serious side of a very serious problem ALCOHOLISM. Sandra Bullock is phenomenal. The movie will make you laugh and cry!!!!!

Jarett 
score = 90 
It was a great movie! Touches the hearts of those of us who have been down that road and made it out alive. Sandra is as great as always.

Mallory 
score = 60 
I thought that the movie had a good theme but could have developed the story to be more realistic and in depth.  Sandra Bullock did a great job but she didn't have good supporting charactors to develop the story to how it could have been.

The movie was nice. Started as a comedy and then became real serious. I liked the comedy-part the most. Too bad they didn't went that road all the way.
