Story Outline:
The serious themes of alcoholism and dependency get a gloss over in this film and we end up with a  Hollywood view that is sanitised without too much of the nasty stuff.  Sandra Bullock plays a party girl that is not growing up.  She goes on a bender, ruins her sister's wedding then crashes the limo and winds up in jail.  


Her suspended sentence includes 28 days at Serenity Glen, a rehab center amongst society's other cast-offs.  She spends her time in denial, trying to beat the system and not managing relationships.  Viggo plays an alcoholic, washed-up baseball player that occasionally interacts with her.  This film never makes it and Viggo as the sex-obsessed baseballer makes the best of a very thin role.
