Pros: Funny, moving, great performances, good balance, even (shock_horror!) good DVD extras Cons: None, unless you were expecting something 100% comedy / 100% drama
Because 28 Days is a film that I really, really love, I was somewhat surprised to see what mixed reviews it had got on Epinions. Among the cons Ive seen listed quite frequently are a slow pace, not fitting into a definable genre (comedy or ...

Pros: Great performances by all, great story. Cons: None.
I love Sandra Bullock. I think shes beautiful and funny and she is one of my favourite actresses. I also think that Viggo Mortensen is H-O-T. I mean, he is one of the people on my list (if you have a list, you know what I mean) that I ...

Pros: Steve Buscemi, other supporting performers Cons: Not enough Steve Buscemi, flippant presentation
As I was watching "28 Days," I was wondering what the filmmakers were trying to do. Were they trying to make a serious comedy, or a comedic drama? Whichever choice you make, I say they failed.
Sandra Bullock stars as Gwen Cummings,...

Pros: Good story line, great actress! Cons: Too broad of a problem. I wish it had just been alcoholism...
This Epinion is about the movie 28 days, and how it has affected my relationship with my alcoholic fiance.
28 days had been a movie on the "want to see" list the my boyfriend and I make. I didn't think about the...

Pros: Realistic, well-versed in the denial aspect of alcoholism and drug abuse. Cons: Maybe the heavy hand with the humorous aspects could've been lightened a smidge.
I was reluctant to see this movie initially. When I read the reviews, saw the excerpts on talk shows, and previews at theatres, it turned me off. Something about making fun of a fatal illness that destroys families, health, careers, self-esteem,...

Pros: Sandra Bullock's witty sense of humor so frequent in her movies. Cons: Touchy subject material.
Was 28 Days better than 'Where the Heart Is?' Yes and no. Let me say that it was different...not as sappy as I expected, which turns out to be a good thing. I also need to note that this night has been a great break for me... Need a stress relief?...

Pros: Enjoyable because Sandra Bullock is always worth watching. Cons: Stereotype rehab movie.
I just watched the movie, “28 Days” and must say that I enjoyed it. I was not bowled over by the movie; I was not touched by the movie; I merely “enjoyed” it.
If anyone has had a loved one that has been addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling or...

Pros: it's just a good movie Cons: it kind of drags at parts
My Opinion
I just wanted to watch a good movie, I had been at work for nine hours and hadn’t gotten a minute of sleep the night before. Who hasn’t been in this spot, thinking “I just want a good movie” Lord knows I have many a time. ...

Pros: Learning to break bad habits Cons: Boring, boring and boring
I have really liked Sandra Bullock's movies for the most part, I think she is a fine actress. But this movie left me sorely disappointed and wondering why she agreed to take it on.
She plays the part of a party girl (Gwen) who is always...

Pros: A departure for Sandra Bullock Cons: Pretty dark and depressing
Periodically I felt the urge to yell at Sandra Bullock's character, Gwen Cummings, throughout this film. You'll see my comments denoted throughout in italics.
First, Gwen climbs out of bed with her boyfriend after realizing she is late for her...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Oct 25 '00
Pros: A surprising look at substance abuse programs, performances and humor Cons: Glosses over the worst of the problems, but still offers hope
This is a movie with a message, and the message is loud and clear. Unfortunately, those most in need of hearing it are deaf to the music. This movie chronicles a 28 day treatment program, earned with a DUI. It features "wholesome" Sandra...

Pros: Viggo Mortensen with a tan Cons: It dra-a-a-ags!
Screenwriter Susannah Grant has been busy. Last year, she co-wrote "Ever After," the modern updating of the Cinderalla fable that starred a wondrously grown-up Drew Barrymore. Then Grant penned the snappy script for "Erin Brockovich,"...

Pros: Kind of a cute movie touching on a serious subject. Cons: Could have gotten deeper.
This was a movie that I did not particularly want to see. I figured that I would eventually see it on cable, so I did want to go see it at the movies or rent it on video. I just figured it would be to depressing and the last thing I need is to watch...

Pros: Quality film, funny yet sad Cons: Emotional, maybe to much for some
I saw this movie tonight for the first time. I laughed, and I cried, and then I cried some more...This was one of the best and the worst movies I have ever seen. Well written, well directed, and probably one of the most heart breaking movies I have...

by radioguy - Top 100, Oct 03 '00
Pros: Please make mine a double, Cons: Sam
One of the big problems with 28 Days is that the opening scenes, which show the wacky behavior that will land the protagonist, Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock), in a rehab, fail to truly make us feel Gwen's done anything really wrong.
In...
