This film insightfully tells the story of a group of 30-year-olds in New York City and what they're dealing with in their lives.

The stories are skillfully told. For example, certain scenes convey much with economically used dialogue and action, allowing for multiple story lines to be seamlessly and thoroughly told.

The story is tight, and the writing contains some gems. "My idea of accomplishment is finishing a copy of 'The New Yorker' in a month," laments one character.

And what really makes '30 Days' work is that it's right on: I've found myself thinking of specific scenes and lines several times in the weeks since I've seen it.
