Even though 28 Days is tackling a difficult subject, it comes off light and superficial, and maybe even a little preachy.

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

Bullock brings a kind of ground-level vulnerability to 28 Days that doesn't make her into a victim but simply into one more suitable case for treatment.
Thomas's fleet-footed approach suggests the anxious embarrassment of a director in an awful hurry to get it over with.
28 Days is a reminder of why Bullock became a movie star in the first place
28 Days possesses all the depth and insight of a made-for-TV movie.
Strong rehab story for mature high schoolers.
28 Days contains Sandra Bullock's best performance...it's just too bad the film itself isn't up there with her.
An off-kilter collection of shallowly observational postcards from the edge... [that's] more a laundry list of emotional checkpoints than a sustained, compelling narrative.
An underrated actress, Bullock capably fulfills the demands of her role as a pill-popping drunk. But the story never allows Bullock to escape the comfort zone of a romantic comedy.
An out-of-control young woman who is in denial is forced to finally confront her multiple addictions.
one whole star (and a half!) just cause i love ms. bullock. the rest of this trip to rehab is like a trip to rehab ... blech.

A good comedy drama as a New York journalist has to go to rehab for 28 days to cure her addiction to alcohol. It has some good actors and has some funny moments. Overall more drama than comedy but still a good film on the whole
