Plot |
"Alcohol is like love: the first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine" (Raymond Chandler). Successful New York writer Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) rarely stops at just three kisses: she's a party girl who ricochets from nightclub to bar, from one hangover to the next. Her boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) exhibits the same self-destructive streak so Gwen can't see the damage she's doing to herself, not until she turns up half drunk for her sister Lily's (Elizabeth Perkins) wedding and trashes the reception and the bridal limo. Fortunate not to end up in jail, Gwen is sent to a rehabilitation clinic for 28 days where, under the aegis of counsellor Cornell (Steve Buscemi), she's told to get her life in order. Despite some initial hostility, Gwen's carefully constructed defences can only withstand so much pressure and eventually the companionship of her fellow rehabbers forces her to take a good long hard look at herself... |
