Summary: One of Sandra Bullocks shining moments
Review: We love Sandra Bullock movies in this house. This one is no exception. Sure there are a couple of cheesy moments, but for the most part, this one is probably her best, performance wise. It's not easy to play a believable addict without resorting to over-used Hollywood cliches, and she plays it well without overdoing it. A few nice examples are the sugar-addiction that most addicts experience when giving up the drug of choice. The gum-wrapper chain was also very close to the truth. That nervous "sober" energy needs to be used up somehow! I was married to an alcoholic and everything she went through looked very familiar to what my ex-husband experienced. Anyways, even if you are not familiar with addiction, this is still a very entertaining movie, as are all her other movies. I would recommend this movie, ...

Summary: Standard Bullock Film
Review: If you like Sandra Bullock, you will like this movie, plain and simple. 28 DAYS is about a woman named Gwen (Sandra Bullock) who enters rehab after she gets before and during her sisters wedding, destroying a cake, and crashing a limo into someone's house. She enters rehab and there is a lot of conflict when she doesn't mingle well with the other patients, and refuses to participate in their chants or chores. Eventually she comes around, befriending others in her group. Through flashbacks we see where Gwen's problems may have come from. There is plenty of comedic moments in the movie, making it funny, but the movie also has a dramatic edge. It's a fun Bullock film fans of the actress will love.

Summary: cliche but fun!
Review: I really enjoyed this heart pulling tale of bad girl finds her way to a better life. It takes a very real subject and makes it entertaining without being preachy. It does have it's points where it's a bit cliche granted!! It's a little sad but fun and the entire character venue makes this film all the better.

Summary: Pretty damn charming
Review: Didn't expect much from this film, but it turned out to be very interesting and not overly sentimental. Steve Buscemi has an excellent role as a veteran counselor, and of course, Sandra Bullock is appealing no matter what she does, which is some fine acting in this case. Good movie.

Summary: Girl, Interrupted/One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - better.
Review: On buying this DVD in the shops today, at a bargain price, I thought it would be pretty good, and did the whole sad eyes thing to my mum, to get her to buy it for me. On getting it home - the DVD wouldn't work. But it eventually did. Anyway! The DVD wasn't as good as I expected it to be. The only special feature I enjoyed was the Moment By Moment featurette, although it repeated quite a lot of the film. The film itself. It doesn't sound like a rehash of Girl Interrupted, but I think it was. Girl Interrupted is a modern day One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and 28 Days is a rehab version of Girl Interrupted. Am I making sense?! The character who played Sandra Bullock's boyfriend, got on my nerves, as did the German guy, but who was also quite good. Steve Buscemi (sp?) should have got a bigger starring role in this. The bit I hated, was when I started crying when Andrea (Azura Skye) killed herself. This is a good film for Sandra Bullock fans (ie. me), but not very funny at all.

Summary: Heartfelt feelings are expressed
Review: At first, I didn't want to see this video, but I watched it with a friend. Sandra Bullock portrays an alcoholic unwilling to quit her erratic behavior. She learns who she hurts, and how, and ends up learning how to help herself with her addiction. I thought this movie showed a lot of the real life aspects of being an addict of alcohol. It's not exactly a family movie, but if you're into movies that make you think a little, you might enjoy this one.

Summary: Sandra Bullock fills the part well
Review: I don't really like Sandra Bullock, personally. However, I thought that she was absolutely perfect for the role that she played. Someone reccomended that I watch this film to study the way rehab worked because I was writing a paper on the 12 steps for school. Well, the movie was pretty accurate with the way rehab is in real life and the acting was ok. However, there was something about the movie that just bored me. Maybe it's because I was watching it for research instead of for fun...who knows? I might reccomend this to someone learning about rehab or alchoholism, but not to someone who wants to see an entertaining film.

Summary: alcoholism is not pretty
Review: Sandra Bullock plays Gwen, a woman so in love with alcohol that she nearly destroys her sister's wedding, and only goes to rehab after crashing her car into a porch. She has 28 days to complete the treatment, but her selfishness and attitude problem nearly prevent such from happening.The flick is realistic in that you wonder what it will take for Gwen to open her eyes to the pain she inflicts on her loved ones, and whether she will make it out of rehab at all.

Summary: Not my first choice...
Review: I rented this movie because Sandra Bullock is my all-time fave actress and she is great in all that I have seen from her. But I have to admit, this movie was a bit of a disappointment. The storyline was pretty sloppy, and the ending wasn't really an ending. It was a bad place to leave off. It gave me an inside look of what goes on with people in rehab though, so in that way I did enjoy it. But if you're looking for solid storylines, this may not be the movie for you.
