Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

Bullock gives it her all; she's bristling and alive on screen in a way that she hasn't been since Speed.

Many of these 28 days are as pat and superficial as anything in a routine TV movie, making a frustratingly uneven film.

Desson Thomson Washington Post (Top Critic)

28 Days may be fluff, but it's good fluff: effortless, amusing and almost touching.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

It's going to take more than 28 Days to jump-start Sandra Bullock's stalled career.

Louis B. Parks Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

It's not bad, but it's not very good, either.

Sandra Bullock gives her best performance yet in 28 Days.

Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)

Bullock 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.

Mark Caro Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

28 Days is a cutesy, heavy-handed morality tale that contains nary a believable moment.

Eminently likable Sandra Bullock has lately shown a bizarre knack for choosing hard-to-like movies. 28 Days continues her unenviable streak .

Sandra Bullock's best film in years -- perhaps even the best work she has ever done.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

28 Days isn't good enough or smart enough. But, doggone it, people just might like it.

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

If I haven't said much about what actually happens in 28 Days it's because, trust me, you know what happens.

28 Days possesses all the depth and insight of a made-for-TV movie.

Ted Anthony Associated Press (Top Critic)

The story and character arcs are pure Screenwriting 101, and every time something unexpected seems poised to happen, the script reaches out, grabs it and pulls it back in line.

28 Days is too glib too often to make much of an impression any way you look at it.

28 Days contains Sandra Bullock's best performance...it's just too bad the film itself isn't up there with her.

An off-kilter collection of shallowly observational postcards from the edge... [that's] more a laundry list of emotional checkpoints than a sustained, compelling narrative.

An underrated actress, Bullock capably fulfills the demands of her role as a pill-popping drunk. But the story never allows Bullock to escape the comfort zone of a romantic comedy.

Plays it pretty safe for the most part, but it does give you a hint of what goes on in the real world.

A surprisingly emotional and funny picture.

William Arnold Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Its effort to be both a rollicking farce and a dark drama of alcoholism doom it to a certain failure from the get-go.

Slight, frothy and quasi-meaningful -- a 'lite' movie if ever there was one.

We've seen it before and better.
