Critics Consensus

Even though 28 Days is tackling a difficult subject, it comes off light and superficial, and maybe even a little preachy.

Thomas does a few interesting things here, including shooting the flashbacks and heavy-drinking scenes on video, which has a weird and wild grain to it when contrasted with the rest of the film.

What I Watched Tonight

Whilst the movie provides a soft look at a hard subject, and at times can preach a bit too much, it returns an entertaining watch and good performances by a solid cast.

Rated: 6/10

I thought that this was a good film. Especially concerning alcoholism and drug addiction. This takes place in a rehab center, and gives you an idea of how hard it can be. It is worth seeing.

Although many may state that this movie is quite bland and long in its message; it is. However the intentions of this movie about mental health are made CLEAR and do create meaning to many. If you are an audience member who sees movies through a different light, a light that is more perspective and in depth towards the intentions of the screenwriters, then this is the movie for you. This movie creates emotions about mental health that are very profound and can be misinterpreted by many audiences, but with the right people, you can really be touched... I'd definitely watch this movie if I was feeling down, as Bullock puts off an amazing portrayal of this character!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I did not fully explore the reality of getting sober but it gave a broader idea into different additction and that the choice is in your hands.

I enjoy this movie. The secondary characters really steal the show. The Bullock-Virgo coupling just didn't feel right. Her older sister was one of the strongest and had real character. Unfortunately she doesn't get painted in that manner, which is not fair at all.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
