Six Days Seven Nights Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES
After this week in paradise, they're going to need a vacation.
Taking a romantic tropical island week off with her boyfriend, an ambitious, decisive New York girl agrees to help her magazine out by covering a story on a neighbouring island. The only plane available is piloted by a laid-back heavy drinker with whom she shares a mutual dislike. But she has no choice and he can't refuse the money. When the plane crash-lands on an uninhabited island with little chance of rescue they both wish they had made other arrangements - at least to start with.

A romantic film set in paradise...
posted on 19 Jul 2009I have seen Six days, Seven nights and I loved it. One of Harrison's best films in a long time. I think what did it for me was the film being set on the island of Kuaii. Quinn and Robin's personalities may have been different but it just proves that in paradise, anything can happen. I would recommend this to anyone that's looking for a light- hearted romantic comedy.
six days, seven nights
posted on 07 Jun 2009This is on the tube tonight. I am watching it just to make sure it is the worst movie I ever saw. Anne Hache is terrible. Harrison Ford, great as he is hates making it. Harrison has this really hot babe back at the island and is trying to pick up Anne Hache. Give me a break. The Friend's guy is especially bad. I see this getting like 5 stars on reviews. Are you crazy? Anne Hache is such an unlikeable character you want he killed off back at the island. And what about that stupid agent she has. They crash and Anne says get me a cup of coffee and trips. This is after a plane crash. The ending is especially terrible. They really could have made this interesting. I really wanted to see a good movie. They butchered it worse than Tin Cup and that is saying something. What a waste of talent.
I can't help myself when it comes to Harrison Ford...
posted on 07 Jun 2009I rented this a few days ago having discovered it was a Harrison Ford movie I somehow missed. Even though I'm a big fan of his, I really didn't expect much based on the jacket description. But, Eureka! I was completely charmed by this movie. Ford has a very low key way of delivering comedy and when you see a manly man like him being funny, it is all the more hilarious. Anne Heche is captivating as the gamin New York fashion sophisticate who happens to be very smart & sassy but grounded. She also has a tremendous flair for comedy and she plays off Ford in a grand way that Melanie Griffith couldn't even dream about doing in Working Girl. Griffith sleepwalked through that script whereas Heche embraces her character fully.There is a very unique thing that happens in this film that we don't see very often and that is how the romantic chemistry builds between the lead characters. It is as natural as the flora and fauna of the island they are trapped on - rather randomly and sometimes awkwardly taking root - and I give a lot of credit to Reitman for capturing this feeling between Ford & Heche. With most films like this, the leads either hop into bed right away and then sort out their differences, or there is no indication of increasing mutual affection until the last 10 minutes when someone slaps their forehead and a light goes on. In this movie, you see so many small moments when one character is creeping into the heart of the other. Despite this, it never gets sappy.I'd rate this movie as a 7 but am giving it an 8 to try to raise its overall score. It's a very, very good romantic comedy with a funny script, witty direction, great tropical locales, and an eclectic but engaging supporting cast.
Movie with a tinge of everything!!!
posted on 26 Jan 2009If u r a person looking for a way to relax and blow off ur stress and don't mind to laugh every now and then,then i would say that this movie is exactly wat u r looking for.The plot in the movie is really simple.There is no big story to tell but yet the way the director has fabricated it using the characters r really excellent!!This movie has little bit adventure,little bit romance(Old guy's romance :) anyway),little bit of laughter and a full load of entertainment.The lead roles Anne heche and Harrison Ford has performed well in every part of the movie.Especially the acting of Anne heche is really funny.If u watch this movie ,u will surely say that "God!, this is not a bad movie after all".
Interesting.
posted on 11 Jan 2009This movie isn't your normal in the city movie. It does start off that way however. This movie basically takes place on a colorful and exciting island unlike the one on survivor. Harrisond Ford and Anne Heche are great in this movie and do lots of wild wild things that are amusing to watch. I liked it.
Don't expect much from Reitman.
posted on 18 Dec 2008Reitman comedies have been mediocre/bad for years, and this one is just one in a series. Ford and Heche are likable, the scenery is very nice, but the script is rather thin, and ultra-formulaic clichés infest the movie heavily in the second half. The pirates are totally unnecessary and were introduced for lack of real comedic ideas. Schwimmer is f***ing awful, as usual, and the sub-plot with him was needless. The movie is watchable, but the laughs aren't there - and this is meant to be a comedy, after all. The somewhat schmaltzy, totally predictable, cliché ending is as standard as it gets.

One of our all time favorites
posted on 03 Nov 2008The script/timing/acting in this movie is excellent, and is a great joy to watch. The perfect timing of the cast and an excellent story make this one of our favorites along with Fifth Element,American President, In and Out, The MatchMaker , The Local Hero and The Mystery Man..Sinan
Ford Was Competent, But This Rom/Com Can't Float.
posted on 22 Oct 2008Anne Heche had just "come out" into the public eye with her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres, so it was a hard sell to convince movie goers of her on-screen relationship with Ford's character. I think that element and the heavy-handed direction of this film are the principal reasons for its failure to wow audiences at the box offices.Beyond that, Ford was more believable herein than in Hollywood Homicide, and delivered a class action performance. Audiences believed him as the hero. What they couldn't believe was Heche in a heterosexual role, at that time, regardless of her later choice of a male mate. She was much more believable in Volcano. This was mildly entertaining, but just didn't float.It earns a 5.4/10 from...the Fiend :.
the stupidest, worst-written, worst-directed disaster of harrison ford's career
posted on 16 Sep 2008"I know this might sound slutty, but I'm feeling bad, and you're feeling bad, and I would really like you to stay tonight."WHAT? WHO WROTE THIS?"What do we do now?" -- a line of dialog delivered unstunningly by Anne Heche ... came from the most common phrase uttered by the director on location ... you remember him ... a guy in a monkey suit scratching his armpits with drool rolling out of his mouth, going: "duhhhh, what do we do now?""Wrong. This is wrong. This is all wrong!" -- yes, that would be the audience, after watching about 10 minutes of this movie."Totally predictable. Plot development that will leave you saying, "that doesn't make any sense. why did they do it that way?" Characters who forget they can't stand each other at the sight of a little bare skin from the other person.David Schwimmer's role and Jacqueline Obradors' role could each have been deleted and nobody would have noticed.The only reason that I rated this movie a 2 instead of a 1 is because Harrison Ford is in it. But he must have been as drunk as his lame character in this movie when he accepted this job.A lousy waste of an hour and half, but probably good fodder for MAD magazine.
Old goats run amok
posted on 10 Sep 2008Has anyone happened to notice that Harrison Ford is getting rather old? (and showing it too)? Anne Heche is nearly young enough to be his grand-daughter. I refuse to believe that they could not find an attractive older woman Harrison Ford's age to play the role. What about that creature he began the film with? She looks like she might be 16, 18 maybe? Harrison Ford=child molester, hmmmmmm.
Ford and Heche stranded on an island
posted on 17 Aug 2008This was one of my favorite movies that I have seen. It was so funny. Harrison Ford was great as the pilot who almost took Robin (Anne Heche) to Tahiti, but a storm caused them to be stranded on a deserted island. One scene that made me laugh, not because it was funny, but because it reminded me of a fellow student who I'd known back in elementary and middle school. She was a chubby Native American girl. The scene was where a snake crawled into Robins pants. This reminded me of the Native American's question she asked me. "What would you do if there was a snake in your butt?" I recommend this film to my friends and family.
Liteweight American fluff...
posted on 27 Jun 2008...sort of the Cliffs Notes version of the superior SWEPT AWAY-but Americans dont have the
attention span for a film that long. (I thought the same of CASTAWAY-not very long-no REAL
dealing with survival issues-another quick, happy ending) BUT...the photography is gorgeous, and so is Hecht.
It seemed that Ford was just sleepwalking thru this role....
'Six Days Seven Nights' of fun, action and romance...
posted on 16 May 2008'Six Days Seven Nights' took a lot of flack upon it's release mainly due to the fact that Anne Heche (Psycho, Return to Paradise) had just outed herself as a lesbian and audiences thought it to be inappropriate and unbelievable for Heche to be paired up with Harrison Ford. Looking at the film now, one must wonder what all the fuss was about as Heche puts in a very convincing performance.Directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Kindergarten Cop), the film tells the story of Robin Moore, a successful magazine editor (Heche) who is going on a dream vacation with her fiance, Frank (David Schwimmer - TV's Freinds). The holiday becomes a nightmare when she has to return to the mainland for a photo shoot and her plane crashes on a remote island leaving her stranded with pilot Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford).From there on, the two battle to survive not only each other but a band of pirates led by Temura Morrison (Once Were Warriors, Speed 2). Robin and Quinn's love / hate relationship soon blossoms into a lot more over their time in this remote paradise.This is such a great film that is not only entertaining but also genuinely funny as well. Among the funniest scene's is when the plane is crashing, we see Heche take a large amount of Zanex to help her relax as well as a some great one liners from Harrison Ford. The only thing that really holds the film back is David Schwimmer who becomes quite annoying by the end of the film. The two leads are both great in their roles despite the fact that Harrison Ford looked a little old for Heche. There is also some superb photography as well as a great score from Randy Elderman (Toy Story).'Six Days Seven Nights' is a nice piece of light entertainment for those who enjoy something with a bit of everything like action, adventure, comedy and romance. SCORE: 7.5/10
A movie that should not have been made
posted on 10 Apr 2008This could have been an interesting romantic comedy if the writers had any imagination at all. I would pay to see Harrison Ford in a romance with intelligent things to say, like in Working Girl and Sabrina. There would be no need for the stupidity of the whole "pirates" idea.I'd never seen Anne Heche before, and I think this movie was a bad introduction for her. I can see why she might be a good actress given another type of role - but in this movie she's just awful. I doubt it's her fault (except for taking the role in the first place). There's no personality or humor in the story, and it's not especially romantic. The previews want you to believe that this movie is Romancing the Stone. I suggest watching that movie instead.
A surprisingly entertaining film
posted on 25 Feb 2008Before i saw Six Days Seven Nights(which was given to me by friend to watch) i was expecting a really retarded and mediocre film.Well i watched it and it was neither of the things i thought it would be, but instead it was very enjoyable and somewhat funny romantic comedy.Everyone was pretty good Harrison Ford and Anne Heche being the two leads and partners was a little weird, but they carried the film and made it fun to watch.Though there was some stuff that was a little out there and some stuff that was really unoriginal i still found this to be a fun film.Overall id say this movie is worth watching, but don't take it way seriously because its not, but its pretty fun.7.6 out of 10 stars
A total waste of time and money
posted on 16 Feb 2008I have to wonder why Harrison Ford allowed himself to be dragged into this disgraceful flop. No chemistry with his counterpart and a dull and predictable plot. Everybody acted poorly, and there was almost no character development. And, of course, there was nothing funny, and a lot of wrong things, with Angelica's "reasoning" to Frank. The only good thing in the movie was the photography.
Not too violent...
posted on 30 Aug 2009...yes, the violence comes as a bit of a shock but it's not gratuitous and doesn't last very long, it also ends with a beautiful hand-of-God act. This is basically a feel-good film, we've watched it 10 times in the last month or so in VERY SENSITIVE STATES OF MIND and think it's in the same class as Casablanca. Everything is perfect: script, actors, setting, photography, soundtrack. Like Casablanca, both the morality and the spirituality are of the highest standard.
