Storyline
After getting into a car accident while drunk on the day of her sister's wedding, Gwen Cummings is given a choice between prison or a rehab center. She chooses rehab, but is extremely resistant to taking part in any of the treatment programs they have to offer, refusing to admit that she has an alcohol addiction. After getting to know some of the other patients, Gwen gradually begins to re-examine her life and see that she does, in fact, have a serious problem. The path to recovery will not be easy, and success will not be guaranteed or even likely, but she is now willing to give it a try. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

The only real good thing about this movie is Sandra Bullock. As a whole the film suffers from a too easy-going approach: the characters are too one-dimensional, the humor is lame, the flashbacks are cheap and repetitive and the story is presented in a rather simplistic and unrealistic manner.
A film like this should pay much more attention to character development. Here, all the players live out their assigned shallow personalities. I don't know why they casted Mortensen for the sports guy character, he just doesn't deliver. The British accomplish of Bullock is too smooth and we know next to nothing about the roommate who story-wise makes such a big impact. Steve Buscemi is forgettable.
The movie is entertaining enough however and never too predictable. As said, Bullock shines; she is perfectly cast for the role of uninhibited party animal struggling to confront the world and its residents.
What else? Elizabeth Perkins. Yeah...
