Movie Reviews of 28 Days (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Funny, Sad, Touching, Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This film has it all, it is funny, it is sad, it teaches a lesson but makes it barable with a great and hilarious cast. Its a movie about the sad but true lessons we learn in life as we meet different people and make or break the friendships that may last forever or just 28 days. I must say i was a little dissapointed in the ending, but the scene with the soap opra guy really loosened everyone up with one last laugh. Excellent job by Sandra Bullock, the guy playing her boyfriend could have used a bit more realism, are some people really that stupid? I guess I shouldnt ask that. This movie makes an instant classic, you can watch it with anyone and everyone and not worry about what youll see or hear, well, except every time the elevator opens, just put your hand over the kids eyes like on the rating poster for pg-13 movies. Some scenes may be a bit much for kids under 13 hince the fact its pg-13 so be ware (dont say I didnt warn you). Anyway, I plan on buying this on DVD very soon, I cant wait to play with all the cool extras.Movie Review: A Great Balanced Dramatic Comedy about Real Addiction
Summary: 5 Stars
As an addiction counselor, who happens to be an addict and alcoholic in recovery, I found the film to a great depiction of various aspects of addiction. The satirical comedy scenes of the chanting were delightful and depicted the sense of silliness that most addicts or alcoholics see them as at first. The dramatic scenes of withdrawal and attempted suicide are very true. The need to change from an addictive social network to a sober support network is also true. I loved the horse scene at the end where the main character finally got a sense of spiritual victory when she finally submitted to the need for help. This is a film that captures the serious nature of addiction with a hint of humor in a manner that will allow the largest audience to gain insights into addiction and recovery. I am using this film in a family systems approaches in addiction course that I teach at a university. I also use the film in groups to serve as a conversation starter. Watch, laugh, cry, and learn.Movie Review: One of Sandra Bullocks shining moments
Summary: 5 Stars
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, ...Movie Review: Sandra as a alcoholic?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of the best movies of Sandra I have seen. She plays a alcoholic, who needs to find herself again in rehab, that is why the name "28 days". Why is this movie so good? Well, it shows you how the real world can be, and that it isn't always much fun as it looks. My favourite part of the movie is where Gwen (Sandra) plays a part of the hot series "Santa Cruz". She has these curly things in her hair, and plays a magic role as Dorian. She does this for her roommate, who is almost leaving rehab. Of course there are more funny bits in the movie, but also serious parts. But you have to acctualy see it, because I am not going to tell you more. In my last sentence I just wanted to let everyone know that YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE!Movie Review: "I have enough stories, I want a life!"
Summary: 5 Stars
28 Days starring Sandra Bullock, she was courageous to take such a challenging role like this. She plays an alcoholic who is placed in a rehab center for, well you guessed it 28 days. I think Bullock is at her best when she does drama, I love her comdies as well but she expands her talent and growth as an actress in dramatic roles. This film does have funny moments from time to time but it is mainly a hard-hitting drama. The scene where Bullock is in the withdrawal period of her addiction is real and heartbreaking. She is and probably will never be recognized as a gifted performer, she should have been nominated for an award, like the golden globes or something. 28 Days is quirky, spunky, and cute just like Sandy!
