Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Filmgoers and critics alike are split on what to think on Ivan Reitman's films. Most would probably say that his earliest productions were the most original and fun. The best example being Ghost Busters (1984). But as time went on, Reitman started making some oddballs like Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Junior (1994). Then he started reverting back to more realistic normal comedies. This particular film is in this group and has things going for it. The problem is that it gets too bogged down with other details that it forgets what its main purpose was in the first place. The plot focuses on a couple that heads out on vacation when one of them is called back. While returning the partner is stranded on an island with the pilot and must learn to survive together. The plot isn't all that special but the way it's executed is. Anne Heche and David Schwimmer play the couple on vacation as Robin and Frank. There they meet their pilots Quinn (Harrison Ford) and Angelica (Jacqueline Obradors). The two that become stranded on a remote island is Robin and Quinn. There they learn how to survive on their own. Yet, the casting of Schwimmer and Obradors wasn't necessary. It could've just been Robin going on vacation and being stranded with Quinn. It's not that Schwimmer or Obradors aren't funny or can't act, but their character arcs are predictable from the start and it doesn't end clearly either. If a couple is heading to vacation and the first thing your boyfriend does is stare at curvaceous women, I think viewers will have a clear idea where he's headed. It's not new material.First time writer Michael Browning did an OK job defining each character, but they are either clichéd or oddly paired. The other strange casting decision belongs to having Anne Hiche and Harrison Ford being together. Over time after learning how to get along, Robin and Quinn form a relationship. During this time, Ford wasn't the strapping youth he once was. Of course some people still find him attractive but most people's viewpoints would be that Ford is too old to be having any kind of a relationship with what looks to be a late 20s / early 30s woman. It's not uncommon (in real life), but for the movie's sake since age isn't the focus, it feels a bit weird. Also cast in the film is Temuera Morrison (known for Jango Fett), Cliff Curtis and Danny Trejo. They are hard to spot at times, but if you see them it's cool to see.The comedy also helps relieve audiences of the either familiar story line or characters. Either when it comes to Frank being goofy or Quinn reacting to Robin's actions, it is genuinely funny. Ford has the best quips. Some of it even reminisces to that of something Indiana Jones would say. Besides it's not all fun and games, Quinn and Robin even run into some modern day pirates. Yikes. The cinematography by Michael Chapman looks great. The view of the islands out to sea looks mesmerizing. Even Randy Edelman's score is nice. It has a theme to represent Quinn and Robin and it sounds memorable. The tune involves piano keys, which isn't the most frequent of an instrument included in a score. It works as a comedy but isn't anything new. The elements of comedy are funny and will have people laughing thanks to its cast. Yet, the casting on a direct basis is questionable and the writing is a bit formulaic.

'Six Days Seven Nights' is unabashed fun. Its a genuine fun-ride, that doesn't underwhelm. 'Six Days Seven Nights' Synopsis: Robin Monroe, a New York magazine editor & the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island.'Six Days Seven Nights' begins well & successfully manages to maintain its momentum pretty much till the end. The only glitch lies in its second-hour, which tends to drag a bit. Michael Browning's Screenplay has more of pluses, than minuses. Ivan Reitman's Direction is photographic. Cinematography captures the wilderness nicely. Editing is ably done. Performance-Wise: Harrison Ford & Anne Heche share a crackling chemistry on-screen & deliver most efficiently. Jacqueline Obradors is lively, while David Schwimmer is reduced into a caricature. On the whole, 'Six Days Seven Nights' balances well between romance, adventure & humor!

The premise for this movie is so old its worn down to the metal - that doesn't mean this film is automatically going to be bad.However it is.All the elements for success were there; great - well known actors, a beautiful setting and a wedge of money.Unfortunately there is zero chemistry between any of the main players, in fact they seemed positively awkward around each other. So when their relationships and lives slipped I was neither surprised nor interested.Although this is a rom-com I feel the actors didn't really put the effort in. It felt like they were only hanging around for their pay cheque.The camera work and production are very average not even taking advantage of the beautiful surroundings.You know what is going to happen ten minutes before the characters so you have to stifle yawns and nod politely as a story you have heard countless times before is retold - badly.

This movie is largely remembered somewhat controversially as it was made when Ellen Degenerate came out of the closet and beat us over the head with her gayness. This is relevant because Anne Heche was revealed to be Ellen's Lover and was filming this movie at the time. Weather or not this helped or hindered the movie's popularity, we will never know for sure. As the movie itself is amusing at best, and forgettable at worst.This movie has plenty of comedic moments that are genuinely funny. Harrison Ford has great chemistry with Anne Heche and is clearly enjoying himself on set. Even the dude from Friends wasn't horrible as long as you keep in mind he's essentially playing his character from the show, Friends.The problems with this movie is the pacing and lack of character development. It moves oddly fast. It's called 6 days and 7 nights but they are only stranded for 2 days one one night. Also their romantic motivations are never clearly defined. I won't spoil it for you but I am left wondering why Harrison Ford's character made the decision that he did.In the end it's a mediocre comedy. It's not bad but neither is it good. But largely it's a harmless comedy, reserved for fans of Harrison Ford who just want to see Han Solo Fart around like Captain Ron
