Member Rating:  
In this romantic comedy, a journalist who's become too much the life of the party finds a new lease on life in a drug and alcohol treatment center. New York newspaper columnist Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) has a fondness for liquor, a boyfriend (Dominic West) with a similar taste for the bottle, and a party girl image that camouflages plenty of emotional baggage. At the wedding of her sister (Elizabeth Perkins), Gwen's pursuit of a good time goes a bit too far when she topples the wedding cake and steals the bridal party's limousine. The result is a court-ordered, 28-day stay in a rehabilitation facility for drug and alcohol abusers. Gwen's failure to get with the program causes her to butt heads with the clinic's director (Steve Buscemi), but her attitude begins to change when she meets Eddie Boone (Viggo Mortensen), a baseball player trying to deal with his substance abuse problems. Diane Ladd, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Azura Skye play Gwen's fellow rehab inmates, and legendary roots rock band NRBQ performs at the wedding reception. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

I wasn't expecting a lot, but found this movie to be very emotionally moving. I am an adult child of an alcoholic parent and . . . there were moments of extreme discomfort, but totally offset by the way the film drew me in, slowly but surely. The characters are real, not cardboard, I really cared about each of them. And felt the horror of an overdose, the joy of success, the depression of failure. I was so thrilled when the horse lifted his hoof! There were moments of real clarity and insight that offset that discomfort.

This seemed like a good look inside rehab, and insite on how an addict lives day to day.

This is a typical Bullock-centric piece, and i have to admit, she's entertaining as she can be. The screenplay is so good it boosts Sandra's personna to new levels of craziness--although it is a little difficult to figure where she's coming from after she enters rehab. It resolves very well--and the cast surrounding her are convincing. This is a Moretensen role before he became a box office draw with Lord of the Rings. Worth seeing.

So....let me get this straight. Sandra Bullocks character in this gets drunk, ruins her sisters wedding, STEALS a limo, crashes into a house....and the judge sends her to a 5 star resort rehab center as punishment? I....on the other hand get pulled over in MY OWN CAR, I didnt get into an accident, and I get put in jail, lose my license, pay thousands of dollars in fines, and lose my job. I wish hollywood would stop glamorizing the TRUTH about what happens in situations like this, and show what REALLY happens for a change!!!
