Storming back to her room, she takes one of her smuggled pills, but spits it out and tosses the bottle out of her third-story window. Cornell, the facility’s director and a recovering addict himself, prepares to kick Gwen out to serve her jail sentence, but she still denies that she has a problem. On visiting day, Jasper slips Gwen a bottle of painkillers and they sneak off for an inebriated day together. Angry and resistant, Gwen refuses to take part in treatment or admit she is an alcoholic, but struggles with flashbacks of her mother, an addict who died of an overdose when Gwen and Lily were children.
Gwen is introduced to a variety of patients: hypersexual cocaine addict Oliver, former doctor Daniel, mother of two Roshanda, older addict Bobbi Jean, Dutch immigrant Gerhardt, and Gwen’s roommate Andrea, a teenage heroin addict. Given a choice between jail time or 28 days in a rehab center, she chooses rehab. They arrive late and disheveled to her sister Lily's wedding, where Gwen knocks over the wedding cake and drunkenly steals a limousine, crashing into a house. Gwen Cummings is an alcoholic who spends her nights in a drunken haze with her boyfriend, Jasper.
The film costars Viggo Mortensen, Dominic West, Elizabeth Perkins, Azura Skye, Steve Buscemi, and Diane Ladd. Sandra Bullock stars as Gwen Cummings, a newspaper columnist obliged to enter rehabilitation for alcoholism. 28 Days is a 2000 American comedy-drama film directed by Betty Thomas and written by Susannah Grant.
