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

It's going to take more than 28 Days to jump-start Sandra Bullock's stalled career.
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Fresh
With Sandra Bullock in the lead, writer Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) spinning the tale, and director Betty Thomas calling the shots, it's a reliably solid treat.
F.X. Feeney, Mr. Showbiz

28 Days tries hard to be funny. Occasionally it is. But mostly it seems forced, pat and didactic.
Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
28 Days is a cutesy, heavy-handed morality tale that contains nary a believable moment.
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune
