Full review
This wasn't a bad film, however, it wasn't a good film either. It basically tells the story of a woman (Bullock) in her mid-twenties who is addicted to drugs, drinks and partying. She goes to her sister's wedding late, drunk and makes a big mistake. While dancing with her boyfriend, she falls and knocks down the cake. She then proceeds to steal the limo and go and try to find a new cake. She crashes the limo and is sent ot rehab for 28 days. (hence; the film name) It is very obvious what happens in the film and soon becomes boring. She, at first is adimant that she will not chant and will continue to party, while hating the rehab clinic and everyone in it. But this chanbges as presumed.

Sandra Bullock does a good job as the drunk, drugged woman who goes in a party-person and realises her horrible past. At times. it is funny and you catch yourself laughing, then you concentrate on the film to see the same old garbage again and again.
