English-28 Days Movie Review

    In the 200 film, "28 Days", Sandra Bullock stars alongside Elizabeth Perkins, Dominic West and Steve Buscemi in this production about the road to recovery. With the screen play written by Susannah Grant, a group of people at a rehab center travel down the path of acceptance and hardship, as Betty Thomas directs the ensemble in the proper direction.

    An alcoholic New York journalist, Gwen, (Bullock) becomes enrolled in rehab after crashing her sister's (Perkins) wedding. Once Gwen gets to the center she realizes it isn't as easy as she though it would be. She needs to choose whether to listen to her councellor (Buscemi) and follow the rules, or listen to her New York boyfriend (West) and leave.
    This is a typical Sandra Bullock movie. It is jammed packed with comedy and has a little bit of drama tied into the plot as well. Much like her other 2000 film, "Miss Congeneality", Bullock plays the off-beat, quirky character. She demonstrates yet another strong female lead on the edgier side of her character range. The overall acting skills of this film mesh well together to make the production more coherent to the road actually travelled by recovering addicts. They portray many characters with a variety of addictions, some alcoholics, some druggies, some sex-addicts, some have an addiction to self-harm, and they all remain in character throughout the entire production making the overall plot more powerful.They learn to accept that they have a problem and learn that it is okay to ask for help, that doesn't mean you're weak. Whether they choose to get help and solve the problem, you're going to have to watch the movie and find out. 
    I personally like this movie, but I am also a Sandra Bullock fan. It is a great movie to understand the road travelled by those hoping to change their life and cope with their addiction. This remarkable cast blends well to deliver this comedic film and earn 5 stars from me.
