Critic Reviews

Peter Travers

Count this rehab a success.

Owen Gleiberman

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

Mr. Showbiz F. X. Feeney

A reliably solid treat. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Needs a gritty intervention. Read full review

David Ansen

This is a movie afraid of its own shadows.

Marc Caro

A cutesy, heavy-handed morality tale that contains nary a believable moment.

Charles Taylor

Not even court-ordered rehab could save this stumbling drunk of a picture. Read full review

A truly fantastic film, finally a zombie film that does not copy Resident Evil. It has its own styles of Zombies, Zombies and such have their own way of walking, acting, and all movements of the Zombies are unique as the spread of disease

Actually my sister dragged me to the cinema to watch it back then. What I did not expect was really liking the movie. The characters and story won me over fast. The story follows Gwen Cummings who is a successful journalist. However her life is also full of drugs, alcohol and wild parties.Actually my sister dragged me to the cinema to watch it back then. What I did not expect was really liking the movie. The characters and story won me over fast. The story follows Gwen Cummings who is a successful journalist. However her life is also full of drugs, alcohol and wild parties. She and her boyfriend went to her sisters wedding and she ruins it by knocking over the wedding cake and other things. She has afterwards a car accident while being drunk and is given at the trial the choice between jail time and rehabilitation. This is the set up of the movie. I like the story and how they address the difficult issues of addiction, drugs and self deception. It might be a bit generic and a bit superficial or fairy tale like but works well. Also I recognized it is a movie critics dislike but the normal viewers enjoyed much more. Back then this was a lesser problem by the way. The actors gave the characters immersion and I cared for them. Sandra Bullock as Gwen Cummings is excellent. Then we have a before Lord of the Rings Viggo Mortenson, the magnificent Azura Skye, Dominic West and Steve Buscemi that I enjoyed. For me this is a really good cast and they improve the experience. I think there is no need to talk about effects, costumes and sets. They all work and get what they intended. Overall this is a forgotten movie that I enjoyed. Worth watching but hard to get today. Will only be a footnote at best in the actors careers but this does not mean it is bad.… Expand

The film's first and second acts hold up pretty well, but some of the elements of the third act feel a little strained.

Definitely enlightening. It was interesting, also funny, to see the journey of Sandra Bullock the alcoholic. But the movie was constant shallow with no real amplitude. It's likable.

Sandra Bullock convinced me that she was in rehab about as much as Lindsay Lohan. Bullock, an entertainment vehicle for those going through rehab, stuck out like a sore thumb. The unrealistic scenes and lack of bonding in this film was an embarrassment to those going through such a struggle.

So when you watch the preview you think it is going to be a rom com that is just a bit different. In reality it's just depressing.
