28 Days

Synopsis: New York based writer Gwen Cummings knows that she drinks a lot, doesn't believe it's a problem, and if she finally decides that it is that she could stop drinking without issue. She and her live-in boyfriend Jasper fuel each other's hyperactivity with this excessive alcohol consumption, "a normal life" which is not in either's vocabulary for themselves. Between Gwen and her older straight-laced sister Lily, Gwen more closely resembles who was their larger than life mother, who was also an addict and who died when they were children. Lily believes that Gwen's alcohol consumption makes her a difficult if not impossible person to love. While Gwen is in a drunken stupor at Lily's wedding, Gwen causes one issue after another, ruining the day for Lily. Gwen is forced to examine her drinking with the culmination of bad events she caused at the wedding, leading to her being court ordered to enter into rehab for twenty-eight days, which is only marginally more tolerable an idea to her than the

Oh, God, it's a fire!
Fire!
A jackhammer?
On Saturday? He should be castrated.
Saturday.
Oh, God. Oh, God, it's Saturday.
Get up! Get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
My sister's gonna kill me.
Oh, my God, what did we do last night?
The usual.
Collected money for the poor little
homeless children at the church bazaar.
l think the vicar must
have spiked the Kool-Aid.
We are way late!
What am l gonna tell my sister?
ls this yours or mine?
-Oh, my God, how did that happen?
-l haven't a clue.
There's my excuse. l'm late
because my tits caught on fire.
Come on!
Find a cab! Taxi!
-Hey, cab!
-Right there! Get him.
Can you go a little faster, please?
Fast and alive. Alive, all right?
The alive part is
incredibly important in this case.
You all right, darling?
Oh, God, l could care less.
That's the whole point.
Right. To care less.
This is tasting like cherry brandy
because l haven't got her gift.
Thank God for bar cars.
You're late!
Jasper, this is...
...a bridesmaid
with makeup and a dress.
Really late. Like, 45 minutes.
She has absolutely no sense of humor,
but she's really good at telling time.
l am so sorry.
There was a water main break
and the train got stuck in Rye.
An electrical thingy.
And just, explosion--
Gwen.
You make it impossible to love you.
Shit!
May we present
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Topton?
Like one?
Did you think it was
a pretty wedding? l did.
Wasn't it pretty?
Yeah, but no one wants pretty
anymore from a wedding.
They want a scandal.
They want to take home a story.
Try these.
This is a party. Let's have some fun
with it, for God's sake.
Oh, my God!
-What happened?
-You--!
Possibly crank it up a little?
Liven everything up.
There's a ladies' room
right over there.
Settle down, buddy!
Oh, sorry.
Don't worry. l'll replace it.
l'll be right back.
Hey, lady! Hey, lady,
what are you doing?
Cake store. Cake store. Cake store.
This is HeIga. What city?
Yes, Bedford.
A cake store.
Lady, if l knew the name,
l wouldn't have called you, okay?
Oh, God!
This is perfect.
All right, everybody.
Now, circle up.
That's it.
Come on.
Together, we're better!
We're better together!
No drugs!
That judge totally screwed me.
Good morning!
I shouId've picked
that rehab in the city.
People chant.
-They do what?
-They chant.
They think l'm chanting, they have
a whole 'nother thing coming.
lt could be worse. Could be prison.
Oh, that's worse?
You never hear of being raped
with a plunger in rehab.
Because they cover it up.
lt's not funny!
Excuse me. Talking.
No cell phones.
Gwen C., l'm Betty. Follow me.
We carry our own bags here.
This isn't the Sheraton.
Oh, glass. ln case l slit my wrists.
l get it.
An eyelash curler.
What'll l do with that? Stab myself?
Curl my tongue to death?
While you're going through my stuff,
let's see...
...what Betty's got in her drawers.
Oh, my God.
Betty has locked her drawers.
What? lt's for my back pain.
These things will be returned
to you when you check out.
Except for the Vickodin,
which will be flushed.
Smile!
lt's ''Vicodin.''
No calls, except during posted
phone time and only for 1 0 minutes.
No fraternization. That's romance
and/or sex between patients.
Oh, and we chant here.
Don't be put off by it.
Some people prefer it
to the Serenity Prayer.
I'II be your friend
I'II heIp you carry on
For it won't be Iong
TiII I'm gonna need somebody--
Your room.
You're responsible
for keeping it clean.
Andrea, this is Gwen.
Settle her in.
-Do you watch Santa Cruz?
-Pardon me?
Santa Cruz. lt's my soap.
