Critics Consensus

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

Vanyaland

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

It's a good and insightful film that could have ben helped by a longer running time and less comedy.

I feel this was well done. Surprised it didn’t get better reviews. Tackled a difficult subject with honesty - and I learned something along the way. Sandra Bullock is quite a good actress and the supporting cast good as well. Would have liked more development of her relationship with her sister

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.
