Watch: 28 Days 2000 123movies, Full Movie Online – New York based writer Gwen Cummings knows that she drinks a lot but doesn’t believe it’s a problem, and if she decides that it is an issue that she could stop drinking on her own. She and her live-in boyfriend Jasper fuel each other’s hyperactivity with this excessive alcohol consumption, “a normal life” is not in either’s vocabulary. Between Gwen and her older straight-laced sister Lily, Gwen more closely resembles their larger than life mother, who was also an alcoholic and who died because of that when they were children. Lily believes that Gwen’s addictions makes her a difficult if not impossible person to love. While Gwen is in a drunken stupor at Lily’s wedding, Gwen causes one issue after another, ruining the day for Lily. Gwen is forced to examine her drinking with the culmination of bad events she caused at the wedding, leading to her being court ordered to enter into rehab or jail for twenty-eight days, which is only marginally more tolerable an idea to her than the alternative, which is jail. For Gwen to make any progress, she has to acknowledge that she has a problem which requires the support during those twenty-eight days not only of the facility’s staff, but also the other patients, each who is going through his/her own issue with respect to the demons of addiction. If she does eventually acknowledge the problem, she will also have to reconcile the events of her life with Lily, and come to the realization that a life with Jasper is not in her best interest if she has any chance of surviving outside of the facility after those twenty-eight days..
Plot: After getting into a car accident while drunk on the day of her sister’s wedding, Gwen Cummings is given a choice between prison or a rehab center. She chooses rehab, but is extremely resistant to taking part in any of the treatment programs they have to offer, refusing to admit that she has an alcohol addiction.

Pretty good comedy for a serious subject.
Sandra Bullock does a pretty good job of playing Gwen the drunken party girl who gets herself into trouble. She is not gung ho for a treatment center, but her other option is jail. Actually, I was not sure how she avoided jail at all, and 28 days seemed too short a time for all the hilarity, action and breakthroughs in this film, but other than these things, I was really impressed with Bullock and the ensemble acting – the balance of comedy and drama. The one actor I thought over-acted was in the character of Gwen’s boyfriend. He was too much, and it was a relief to see him off the screen. Viggo Mortensen is endearing as the other guy for Gwen. I would like to have seen more of them together. I think people will love the soap opera gags and the send-up of drug/alcohol treatment centers, but will also get the serious nature of the interactions in the “chemistry” among all the characters in treatment in the film.
How does it all end?
When i first finished the movie i thought “This is it? She’s not getting together with Eddie?” But then realized, thats not the kind of movie this is and that’s what makes it beautiful. Its literally the story of a woman who has been through so much, messed everything up and had no healthy support. The story of a woman who, in the end, overcame the need to drink her way through life and, instead of finding the solution in someone else (another man), she leaves the man she’s with and decides to do it all on her own, because she has the strengh. She’s getting her life together by controlling the little things.
