Movie Review
28 Days
by Elizabeth Abele
28 Days owes more to screenwriter Susannah Grant’s work on the television series Party of 5 than to her work on the vibrant Erin Brockovich. Instead of a dark comedy, 28 Days is a predictable melodrama showcasing outrageous drunken behavior, quirky characters, and quirkier situations. Sandra Bullock’s Gwen Cummings keeps the film from becoming maudlin more through her character’s constant sarcasm and denial than through deft comedic direction.
