80Count this rehab a success.
-
75Bullock brings a kind of ground-level vulnerability to 28 Days that doesn't make her into a victim but simply into one more suitable case for treatment.
-
75Not without missteps and the occasional mouthful of sugar, but it grows on you.
-
75Much less mawkish and predictable than you might expect.
-
75Bullock gives it her all; she's bristling and alive on screen in a way that she hasn't been since ''Speed.''
-
70Funny, thought-provoking and, yes, touching.
-
65A reliably solid treat.
-
63Far too familiar.
-
63If only Hollywood studios weren't so addicted to happy, oversimplified endings, the film might leave us shaken instead of slightly stirred.
-
60As ridiculous as it all is...it's somehow eminently watchable.
-
60A reminder of why Bullock became a movie star in the first place.
-
58(Bullock's) performance, and the movie's serious side, soon get lost in an overly slick script.
-
50Mostly it seems forced, pat and didactic.
-
50Needs a gritty intervention.
-
50Sympathetic to the core but not to be believed.
-
50Shows her transition to sobriety as many ensemble stories do--mainly through the development of other characters, the quirkier the better.
-
40Has all the force of bubbles on air -- fun to look at, but exciting no emotion deeper than fleeting delight.
-
40Begins with such a flurry of promise that it comes as a sharp disappointment when this drug-rehab comedy skids out of control.
-
40This is a movie afraid of its own shadows.
-
A cutesy, heavy-handed morality tale that contains nary a believable moment.
-
38Bullock's character goes through some changes, but she never turns into some unrecognizably serious actress.
-
30Thomas's fleet-footed approach suggests the anxious embarrassment of a director in an awful hurry to get it over with.
-
25So shapeless, pointless and witless a film that it can be explained only by surmising that the people who made it were bombed at the time.
-
20Too glib too often to make much of an impression any way you look at it.
-
20The saddest part about 28 Days is it's more fun when it's drunk.
-
10Not even court-ordered rehab could save this stumbling drunk of a picture.

6The film's first and second acts hold up pretty well, but some of the elements of the third act feel a little strained.
