-->Gwen Cummings.....Sandra Bullock [Action, Demolition Man, The Vanishing, The Thing Called Love, Speed, While You Were Sleeping, The Net, A Time To Kill, Speed 2: Cruise Control, Hope Floats, The Prince of Egypt, Forces Of Nature]

Sandra Bullock is that rarest of actresses. She's probably number 50 or so on my 'stars I'd like to bonk' list, but she's number one on my 'stars I'd like to have a beer and hang out with' list. She just seems so normal and nice and not so incredibly hot that you couldn't form simple sentences.

Having said that, this is not a great film. She plays a writer of some kind sentenced to rehab after stealing her sister's limo and crashing it during her sister's wedding. We follow her as she gets the shakes and runs away and smuggles stuff in. All the acting is good, but she's a spoiled writer when she goes in and she sort of remains one when she comes out. Moral of the story: addiction is a tough thing to overcome. End of story. Good points for using Indie God Steve Buscemi in a small supporting role.
