28 days - 'The story of a detoxified party gal'

After the success of of Erin Brokovich, Columbia Tristar comes out with yet another personal fav. blockbuster movie, with Hollywood Lissome and adorable, Sandra Bullock.


From her whacky-girl-next-door routine in ‘While u were sleeping’ to the cute bus driver in ‘Speed’, Sandra plays, a favourite party-gal and a heavy booze-guzzling journalist. Never ever to have heard the cliché, ‘Nothing in excess is bad’, Sandra alongwith her equally wild boyfriend, go on pub-hopping binges. But sadly her life on the ‘wild side’ comes to a screeching halt when she’s indulged in one binge, 2 many.


For starters, she arrives at her sisters weddings a trifle 2 late, bumps into the wedding cake after shes’ sloshed and then drives off with someone’s limo into another’s house. All doesn’t seem so bad, as in lieu of a sentence in jail, she is sent to a detoxification and rehab centre for 4 weeks (28 DAYS) .


In terms of pure drama, I felt, 28 days lacked the punch that u wud connect to Sandra’s films like speed etc. If u are a die-hard fan and can’t do without a thrilling, suspense, finger-nail and toe-biting nail finish, then don’t in ur wildest of dreams watch this flick. It scores a major high with its pure drama and emotional draw, but its uncouth and un-warranted overdose of alcoholic behaviour, tends to spring up questions like the lasting effects of alcohol, its withdrawal effects and life’s responsibilities to it.


But a final introspection of the movie, confirms the movie would have definitely been a drag, hadn’t it been for the superlative performance by none other than my fav. actress, Sandra Bullock.
