What a pleasant surprise. Yep, know what your thinkin'; Another
Girl Interrupted...well, yeah, it's in 'rehab' but it
really is different.
That having
been said, I must say this was surprisingly fun for such a pathetically
sad subject.
Being a
complete tea sipper myself, Long Island Ice Tea's that is...my
heart goes out to people who have a hard time remembering how
that human Orangutan with the skin conditioned and one extra
limb (not the sexy kind either) pertruding from their side ended
up in the bed next to them. Ick to the tenth power ! Not
that that has ever happened to me mind you.
Gwenn (Sandra
Bullock) has just driven her sister's wedding limo into Ozzy
and Harriet's front porch, whilst partaking in one too many
Courtney Love Cocktails ( bubbly and pain killers). Whoops-a-daisy.
It's 28 days in rehab for her.
When Gwenn
arrives she has a smidge of 'tough girl' attitude. So, hence
her fellow users kind of dislike her. Her counselor Cornell
(Steve "Barracuda Teeth" Buscemi) even suggests she
leave and just go to prison. Well, that's enough to scare little
"Ms. Life Of The Party." She snaps into the perfect
inmate...er...patient.
Her coinhabitors
are fun and real "One Flew Over The Cockoos Nest"
material. Gerhardt (Alan Tudyk) is tear drivingly funny with
his blatant attempts at seduction-of no one in particular. Mike
("Could I be more Irish, I'm Begging ya" O'Malley)
is Oliver the 5th avenue coke
head with a way with da girls and a quick one liner for any
occasion.On the more serious side there is interesting coming-upper
actress Azura Skye as the poor little heroin addict Andrea.
Every few
scenes this stud with an accent named Jasper (Dominic "
Allo Allo" West) shows up. He' s Gwenn's "enabling"
boyfriend. Yes, okay he isn't exactly good for her what with
his nonstop partying and debauchery.But he sure is cinnamon
bun sweet on the eyes. Hmm. Life of drugging and boozing with
ole  tall
dark and British Jasper, or clean and sober with a Spider plant
named Paul? What will Gwenn chose?
It's a Sandra
Bullock movie...guess. But really, she wasn't as Sandra Bullock-y
in this. She did a wonderful broad ranged performance, and only
two or three of her signature girly girl giggly scenes I swear.
Check it
out it's a well done and acted little film
