ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – 28 DAYS (2000)

 

“28 Days” is a Comedy drama, written by Susannah Grant and Directed by Betty Thomas.

 

New York based writer Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is ordered by the court to enter a drug and alcohol rehab centre for twenty-eight days or go to jail for the same period, after ruining her sister's wedding day when she stole the wedding limousine and when on a drunken joyride before crashing it into someone’s house.

Gwen resents having to be there because although she is aware she drinks too much but doesn't believe it's a problem and if she chose to, she could stop at any time.

Unfortunately, her live-in boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) encouraged her excessive alcohol consumption because he was just as bad.

Her councillor Cornell (Steve Buscemi) and the other people in her group sessions

Andrea (Azura Skye), Gerhardt (Alan Tudyk), Oliver (Michael O'Malley), Roshanda (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), Daniel (Reni Santoni), Bobbie Jean (Diane Ladd) and Eddie Boone (Viggo Mortensen), force her to confront her demons and lay the foundations for rebuilding the relationship between Gwen and her sister Lily (Elizabeth Perkins).
