Summary: A pleasant surprise
Review: Does anyone remember the days when it seemed that every Harrison Film was a screen classic? The days of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Witness, Bladerunner, and American Graffiti, seem long behind us. He is still the consummate action hero, and his portrayals are always watchable (a la Sean Connery who seems to elevate any film he's in above what it otherwise would be). But in the past few years, Ford's films have been, on the whole, disappointingly average. That is why Six Days, Seven Nights is such a nice surprise. It is a romantic comedy which seamlessly blends action, humour (Ford is very funny in his portrayal of Quinn), and romance (yes, despite Anne Heche's well-publicized real life sexual orientation, there is a real chemistry between the two). Throw in some beautiful locales and a subplot involving the two's significant others, and what you've got is a nice rainy Sunday afternoon film, reminiscent of the old black and white Cary Grant / Katherine Hepburn comedies. It's not Indiana Jones, unfortunately, but thank goodness it's not Random Hearts either. The DVD itself contains no extras whatsoever. What would we learn from an audio commentary anyway, other than that Anne Heche is a lesbian and Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter?

Summary: AN ACTION/COMEDY?
Review: In a word...no. I'd call it more of a romantic comedy but the trailer did hint at more action than eventually appeared onscreen. There is a small clip of Harrison Ford pulling one of the pirates over a waterfall and he falls to his death (?). the running time of 101 minutes and the very abrupt resolution give the impression that there was more action before someone ordered it to be cut out.I think this may have been because the producers wanted a quirky comedy-adventure when the film turned out to be a little bit tougher. This is so apparent when pirates (the driving force of the movie) are in it for about 15 minutes. What's left is just an okay movie. It is neither original nor clever and has no spark or bite. But it does have a few decent laughs, some cool music and nice scenery. David Schwimmer's character is totally wasted and is a carbon copy of Ross from Friends. Six Days, Seven Nights is hardly groundbreaking but is an enjoyable timepasser. Catch it if you can. The DVD is Dolby 5.1 and is letterboxed at 2.35:1.

Summary: Can't Believe It ... I love This movie
Review: I was very sceptical about Anne Heche as an actress in a romantic comedy role but, her quick feisty wit is the perfect foil to Ford's more deadpan humor. This movie is so much fun that my wife and I now watch it at least 3-4 times year. The south seas setting feels mighty good too on a MN winter movie night. If you enjoyed movies like; Romancing The Stone, Crocodile Dundee, Hopscotch, and The Electric Horseman then you'll love this movie too.

Summary: Harrison Ford, Anne Heche and her blue,blue,blue eyes
Review: I've read a bit about what Anne has gone through in Hollywood, and I will admit that she was right when she said some people would let their view of her personal life get in the way of her acting abilities. But from the very moment she met Ford as a bumbling, seeminly-inept island-hopper pilot, I saw some chemistry beginning to happen and the cloud of her personal life slowly dissipated and cleared away. Ford has already established himself as an actor with many sides, and probably called upon his Indiana Jones' days to pull off the same goofy, scatter-brained act as Quinn. Heche has got comic, inept and klutz written all over her from the moment she takes the Xanax in that turbulent, storm-tossed ride in the deHavilland Beaver (which still is one of the best bush planes ever made). You could ask many questions about the reality of the events that occur in this movie, but I think you'd be missing the point. This is a movie made for laughter, romance and Ford and Heche's acting capabilities. Heche captivated me with her oh-soooo-blue eyes and drew me in with her acting ability. She really is very good and I hope others see that. Ford is always fun to watch, whether in dramatic or comic roles. David Schwimmer pulls of being, well, David Schwimmer from 'Friends'. He's got a lot of work to do to make himself believable as anyone else. Final assessment: Ford, 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up; Heche, 2 thumbs and 1 big toe up (You are great!); Schwimmer, 1 thumb up for almost making himself believable. Good flick!

Summary: When Harry Met Anne
Review: I like a Romantic Comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. That is one of the reasons I enjoy viewing "Six Days And Seven Nights," with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. Besides these two actors being amoung my very favourites, I was totally caught up in the old-fashioned approach used in the making of this captivating film. The dialogue was hilarious, enhanced by the skills of all involved. Each person contibuted to the success of "Six Days and Seven Nights," and by success I mean the ability to make a movie that causes intense laughter every time you see it, even if you view it in succession. The only thing I would wish for would be to have had it been a longer film. Stereotypes not withstanding, it is always a joy to behold When Harry Met Anne, Et Al.

Summary: Great Movie, Great Fun "Funny and Fabulous!"
Review: Starring Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) and Anne Heche in Six Days Seven Nights, WILL entertain you moviegoers very much. This movie is Action, Comedy, and Drama in one. (other star(s) worth mentioning are David Schwimmer (Ross Gellar in the T.V. Series Friends) First, these two incompatible people, Quinn(Ford) and Robin(Heche) gets (like) shipwrecked on an island. They continously argue with each other but also try to survive on the island.
This movie shows great stuff that you probably would not find in another "survival on an island" movie which I will not spoil here. As for the Acting, it is FANTASTIC. Ford and Heche really brought their character personalities to a MAX on this one.
You will laugh, you will cry, you will smile, and your heart will race. This movie will entertain all! The music is "great!" and blends seamlessly into the movie! I recommend this Movie to all island survival fans, movie lovers, to couples, to yourself, and to families and friends "alike".

Summary: Six Days Seven Nights, Wish It Woulda Gone On Longer
Review: Okay, I admit, I was skeptical before seeing this movie. Harrison Ford has ceased to be a turn on for me since his "Sabrina" days, as I'm not really attracted to men over the age of 50 or so. And I was not familiar with Anne Heche's film work and didn't know what to expect from her in terms of acting ability. I thought, okay, Ford is archaic and Heche is, well, a lesbo, so how on earth could they have chemistry? They proved me dead wrong. "Six Days Seven Nights" (get the quirk in the title?) was an enjoyable gem. Ford played the romantic lead better here than he did in "Sabrina" almost a decade ago, and Heche totally blew me away. Her comedic timing and delivery were impeccable, and in my opinion, it was her performance that made the film work. What I liked the most were the interesting character and gender-issue developments that you rarely see in romantic comedy adventure flicks these days. The characters that Ford and Heche play, Robin and Quinn, respectively, develop a relationship that is tried and true. They start off very much "of this world," (Robin is a tough New York executive who depends on her cell phone like it's her oxygen tube and the shallow Quinn hits on women and drinks too much), but after crashing on a deserted island with no immediate way to escape, their distinct man/woman instincts take over. This was a pleasure to watch. Major highlight: When Heche's Robin says to Ford's Quinn, "I need you to be my confident captain," and he responds in the affirmative. He steps up to the plate and becomes "da man," and she shows her feminine, vulnerable side. It was a beautiful moment in the movie. It's tough to initially believe that the adorable Robin would fall for old, weathered Quinn. But after he saves her life again and again, we begin to understand. Women, basically, want to know that when the stuff hits the fan, the physically stronger of the sexes is going to be there to deliver. Right, ladies? This movie embraces this concept, rather than denying its existence. At the film's end, we can see why Robin decides she'd be better off with Quinn than with her ex-fiance, played by David Schwimmer. The character of Robin is no dummy: She wants to be with someone who will pick up his mat and walk. The only problem I personally had with the movie was that it left me wishing for more bantering/falling in love between the two lead characters. Oh, and I also was left with a strong desire to know where the film's costume designers got that little black dress Heche wore at the end of the film, so I could go pick one up for myself. All in all, an enjoyable film. I gave it 4 stars out of 5, because I don't think a movie necessarily has to be Oscar-caliber to do its job of entertaining.

Summary: Entertaining Romantic/Comedy/Adventure helped by two stars.
Review: When a hard-working career woman by the name of Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) works for a popular woman magazine on that same day, one of the best things of her life, when her nice sensitive boyfriend-Frank Martin (David Schwimmer) purposed to her to married him and to come with him to a week at a Tropical Island. Once they get there, they meet a gruff, rough-hwen cargo pilot-Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford). Once the pilot brings them to the Island, Robin and Frank start enjoying thier vacation but the trouble starts when her boss (Allison Janney) call her from thier trip to take a photo shot. Robin ask Quinn to bring to her to the location, she has to be. But once they left ground to live, they ended being hit by lighting and crashing down to a deserted isle and trying to find way to get back to the Island but ended having problem and trouble. While Robin and Quinn are taking a liking to eachother. Directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Junior, Twins) attractive and funny performances by Ford and Heche make this memorable flick. This wasn't a huge hit at the Box Office, as it should have been. The film is at time slow-moving and some of the sub-plots seems out of places, by putting Pirates in the Story (Which it's doesn't bug the film at all). Schwimmer is fun as a goofy baby faced boyfriend's to Heche. Jacqueline Orbadors is great as a care-free voluptous woman, who's a friend to Ford. Ford's Comedic Performance is loose and played with great verve, which it is the film delight. Temuera Morrison (Star Wars 2:Attack of the Clones), Cliff Curtis (Three Kings) and Danny Trejo (From Dusk till Dawn) as the film's villians. Written by Micheal Browning (Bad Company). Panavision. Grade:A-.
