Newspaper columnist Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) never met a drink she couldn't quaff. But when her drunken buffoonery ruins her sister's wedding -- and does some major property damage -- a judge orders her to choose between rehab and jail. Gwen won't come clean about being an alcoholic, but a few days into her month-long dry-out, she meets a fellow resident (Viggo Mortensen) who'll change her outlook on life and love. Dominic West co-stars. (Netflix.com)
Grade: B+
First I must preface my review by saying that I LOVE Sandra Bullock and think she's awesome. That being said, this movie was great. The acting was awesome, and it really delved in to why she drinks in the first place. She's somewhat haunted by memories of her mother's drinking, and a not so happy childhood. yet, through it all, she is able to realize that there is more to life than alcohol, and that she should be able to have a real chance at happiness. This was a great watch, that wasn't just a non-stop drama fest, there were lots of funny parts, and it was just a good movie. Check it out!
