Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) is an assistant editor of a fashion magazine in NYC. She goes on a tropical vacation with boyfriend Frank Martin (David Schwimmer). After accepting Frank's proposal, Robin has a quick job to supervise a photo shoot. She hops on Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford)'s plane to make the short trip but a storm forces them to crash.I've never bought Harrison Ford as a rom-com lead and this is a prime example. Although he has more chemistry with Anne Heche than David Schwimmer has with her. This is pretty standard rom-com fare. If it had better actors for this type of movie, I think this could have worked. Anne Heche also has a bit of problem with light rom-coms. There is a specific type that these two actors don't necessarily fit.Then there is the switch in tone midway through. If that's the tone, then the first half is ill-fitting. I hate that the movie keeps going back to Schwimmer. His character really doesn't work for many reasons. This movie struggles to find the right tone.

Six Days, Seven Nights (1998): Dir: Ivan Reitman / Cast: Harrison Ford, Anne Heche, David Schwimmer, Jacqueline Obradors, Temuera Morrison: An action centred Swiss Family Robinson catering to romantic thrills and dumb subplots. A long stretch of time between two people whose initial personalities are in conflict while their inner emotions are in total denial. Harrison Ford plays a pilot who spirits David Schwimmer and Anne Heche off to the tropical. In order to match Ford and Heche together the screenwriter concocts a sudden business trip where he must pilot her away but the plane goes down in the heat of a storm. They crash land on an island and bicker back and forth and are chased by pirates. Lame plot doubles back and forth between Ford and Heche and the lame guilt ridden affair David Schwimmer indulges in that nobody cares about. Director Ivan Reitman doesn't clash romance, humour and adventure very successfully, and that is unfortunate since he has directed such superior films as Ghostbusters and Stripes. Ford and Heche are able actors stranded within lame situations that are beneath them. Schwimmer is horrible as the guilt ridden beau who needs another drink after being associated with this junk. Supporting actors fares little better and more or less await for anything to happen. Beautiful photography within a lackluster screenplay that crash lands. Score: 2 / 10

Robin Monroe, (Anne Heche) a New York magazine editor, and pilot Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford) must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted Island in Ivan Reitman's 'Six Days Seven Nights'What's interesting here is Harrison Ford personally picked out Anne Heche to be his co- star over stars like Julia Roberts. You'd have thought he'd have picked someone he had decent chemistry with, as (at least for me) they make an awkward on screen couple to say the least.David Schwimmer (Ross Gellar from TV's 'Friends') turns up as Ross Gellar from TV's 'Friends' but with a different name, one that now escapes me. He was that interesting. Danny Trejo had a minor role as a pirate,Interesting side note is Ford did his own flying in the movie, and had to be specifically insured to fly the cast in the plane. Heche was Annoying, Ford was gruff. Neither was likable.

This is one of those movies, that are so bad that they become good! I mean, as soon as you hear what it is going to be about, you realize how it is going to end (they will fall in love and end up together). You will also guess, roughly, what is going to happen on the island: the man and woman are going to go through some mishaps and adventures, that force them to cooperate and save each others lives. And in the process, they are going to get their eyes open as to each other's good qualities. True: you can just tick the mishaps and adventures off: there is the earthquake, and there are the pirates that give Mr Ford an opportunity to show the girl what a master fighter he is, and there is the old crashed plane that gives Mr Ford an opportunity to show what a master engineer he is, and there is the snake in Miss Heche's panties (wherever else..?), that gives Mr Ford a chance to get into her panties quite literally, and there... Well, you get the idea! :-)The fact that the man and woman should be from entirely different worlds and have - up to then - quite the opposite goals and life-styles is also a prerequisite, that you guess at before the movie has even begun.To sum it up: this movie is VERY predictable, and it contains ALL the clichés... But is it a bad movie..? NO! The movie-makers know how to push your buttons, because all those clichés are exactly what push your buttons whether you want to admit it or not! ...and the thought of spending a week on a desert island with Harrison Ford makes a woman's imagination working overtime..! :-) It is very good as pure entertainment goes!
