Summary: One hour, forty-two minutes
Review: The poster for SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS made me think it's an action picture, with Harrison Ford and Anne Heche in the wilderness, looking scared. When I read the video package, I learned it is a comedy-adventure.If it shows up on cable TV or if you can borrow a copy, SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS nicely kills a couple of hours. Lead actor Ford is in top form, playing the tough/funny guy he played so well in the INDIANA JONES movies. Lead actress Anne Heche, playing a combination of Lucille Ball, Liza Minelli and Shelly Long, holds her own alongside the great Ford. Someday, perhaps she will blossom even more elsewhere. SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS director Ivan Reitman seems to specialize in comedy-adventures, having made GHOSTBUSTERS, TWINS and STRIPES. In SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, Ford and Heche are stranded on a small island, fighting starvation, pirates and their attraction to each other. Sometimes you can tell when a film is written by a man. In SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, we have yet another 50-plus leading man hooking up with an under-30 woman. At least Heche, while attractive, is no knockout, so that gives it a little credibility. So does the fact that Ford is in better shape than a lot of men thirty years his junior. Before he has even gotten to know Anne Heche in SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS, Harrison Ford makes a couple of remarks about her anatomy that, in real life, would have turned off any woman no matter how much she had liked him. But this is the movies (movies written by men), so instead Heche wonders if she looks good enough. Sigh. Most ridiculous: at one point in the film Ford and Heche are hiding from pirates, yet they light a fire. Sigh. But between the man's world mentality and movie cliches, SIX DAYS, SEVEN NIGHTS delivers enough fun for one hour, forty-two minutes.

Summary: South Seas soap opera tries hard, but...
Review: I saw this movie for the first time on the USA channel, and I missed the beginning of it, but the last half seemed interesting enough, so I bought this DVD, to see the uncut version of the movie. I must say I felt rather disappointed by this limp and tepid PG-13 presentation. Harrison Ford is getting a bit long in the tooth to play these romantic leading man roles, but he’s still fun to watch, anyway. Here he’s a South Seas beachcomber/bush pilot, who hires out to fly tourists from island to island in a decrepit plane (a deHaviland Beaver, which ceased production in 1967) that’s almost as old as he is. Fashion magazine editor Anne Heche hires him to fly her to a magazine shoot on another island, interrupting her vacation with her fiancee, and bad weather causes them to crash-land on the beach of a deserted island. How the 56 year old Ford and the 29 year old Heche survive and eventually fall in love is the crux of the story. There are some amusing moments in this Robinson Crusoe-girl Friday adventure, such as a small aquatic creature swimming into Heche’s underwear while she’s standing waist-deep in a waterfall-fed lake, and Ford, to the rescue, has to feel around for it, as she tells him, “I better not catch you smiling!” And later, when she demands her money back, because he didn’t get her to her destination, he only gives her half of it, saying, “I figure I got you halfway!” Still, the chemistry between Ford and Heche isn’t really there, and the entire sequence with the band of pirates is totally out of place and unbelievable. It should have been deleted and some ... scenes of Heche and the delightful Jacqueline Obradors added to spice up this tropical soap-opera. And this DVD should have been spiced up with some decent bonus features, too! All you get here are the standard features: the movie trailer and a scene index. Not much for the money! (If I asked for my money back, would they only give me half of it, saying “We figure we gave you half what you expected!”)?

Summary: A flight into fantasy
Review: Castaway movies are fun. They have to be or no-one would watch them. Given transparent plots and inevitable circumstances, characterization is all that remains to redeem them. The choice of Harrison Ford as lead was inspired in this film. Too many Ford roles seem below abilities exhibited elsewhere, but he carries this one well. As his foil Anne Heche was a pleasant surprise. She displays an exceptional talent, even in a role nearly doomed by the trite story. They make a great castaway team, bringing some engrossing subtleties to play. Ford's an island hopping pilot in the Western Pacific, ferrying passengers and cargo as opportunity arises. It's not an easy life, nor financially rewarding, but there are benefits. There's the scenery, including the human type. There's freedom. And there's flying. Ford as the pilot of a DeHavilland Norseman brilliantly takes on the role every pilot, even of only a four seater, must assume - he's "the captain". Inevitably, that brings him into conflict with Heche's part as the modern, corporate, self-assertive woman. It's a beautifully portrayed clash, fully liberating this film from the mundane. In the best scene in the film, Ford's actually invisible as he tries to regain control over events. Survival, however, means teamwork and the pair do settle down to the business of escape or rescue. Heche's arrogance virtually eliminates the second option, and the arrival of some unwelcome visitors nearly obviates the first. But the team is now functional and they evade an unhappy fate through cooperative effort. The suspense builds nicely until that situation is resolved. The collective action reaches a fever pitch [when do they eat?] as they strive to engineer an escape. The mechanism of their return to the resort might be considered contrived if some astute producer hadn't settled on the choice of the Norseman as Ford's aircraft. No other airplane could have survived the indignities this film bestows on it. There's really only one other meaningful character in this film. David Schwimmer is a perfect Frank Martin as Heche's fiancee. And why not? He's simply playing himself with no acting involved. He doesn't need to develop any skills if the directors continue to run him in similar roles. Schwimmer's typecasting was done in an iron foundry. Fortunately, the role is needed, so we can't argue that he detracts from the film or story. The fine job done by Ford and Heche nearly make Schwimmer superfluous, but Heche needs him to set her character properly. This film seemed pretty lightweight at first look, but is well worth repeats. It's entertainment value has few peers in the type and the scenery alone is worth review. It's still a mystery, however, as to why Bob Marley was chosen for the closing music. Perhaps the producer, having shot his bolt in selecting the Norseman, thought the story takes place in the Caribbean.

Summary: Many different kinds of movies put into one = a great movie
Review: "Six Days, Seven Nights" is one of my favorite movies from the last few years. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are on a deserted island together after a raging storm crashes their plane. At first they resent each other, but they have to try to find a way off the island and even escape pirates, so they learn to like each other, maybe even more than they wanted to. "Six Days, Seven Nights" has elements of many different kinds of movies. Parts of it are funny such as when a snake gets a hold of Anne and Harrison has to help her out. Parts of it are also like an action movie such as when the two have to run for their lives to escape angry pirates. Anne Heche and Harrison Ford go on a short journey to try and find where a device is located that they can shut down and have a chance to be rescued when some people come to the island to fix it, giving the movie a sense of adventure. And after the two learn to be a team and grow to like each other, it has a little bit of a romantic touch to it. Pretty much, "Six Days, Seven Nights" is considered a romantic comedy, but it has elements of many other types of movies, which is what I really liked about it. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are great on the set together, they might could even be the next Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I recommend anybody to give "Six Days, Seven Nights" a chance.

Summary: Harrison Ford fans will not be disappointed.
Review: This film is clearly a cross between The African Queen and something else but, while the something else could be any one of dozens of films, the Bogart & Hepburn classic was clearly the source for the setting and characters. The aim of the plot is to arrange for Ford and Heche to be isolated in a semi hostile environment where Ford's earthy get-it-done character can slowly chip away at the revulsion of Heche's sophisticated newly engaged big city girl. Harrison Ford plays Quinn Harris a pilot in the mould of Antoine de Saint Exupery plying the islands in the South Seas. He picks up a charter to fly Robin Monroe from her holiday idyll to a meeting in Tahiti. Robin is sad to be leaving her fiancee Frank (Shwimmer) behind on the island. Quinn is not sad to be leaving his voluptuous assistant Angelica (Obradors) as he has been hitting on Robin during her holiday. So, Quinn and Robin fly off to Tahiti but, en route, they encounter a storm and, with the aircraft damaged by a lightning strike, they make a forced landing on an otherwise deserted island. Then they have to survive the snakes and earth tremors, dodge the pirates, repair the aircraft with bits rescued from a crashed Japanese WWII fighter and make a daring escape in order that they can return to civilisation and fall in love properly. OK, it is not much of a plot but then "The African Queen" had little plot and that became a classic because of the interaction between Bogart and Hepburn. So, how do Ford and Heche do? Harrison Ford does very well indeed. It helps that he has a real "Harrison Ford" character and script. Quinn has just the right mix of faults and redeeming attributes to be believable and likeable. Ford acts just as well as always when given a sympathetic character and the script really gives him the chance to shine. If Ford gets close to Bogart level as Quinn, Heche is some way short of Hepburn as Robin. The character comes over as shallow and uninteresting and not particularly likeable. In part that is the nature of the character and the opportunities afforded by the script, but it is also the way that Heche and her director interpret the character. Shwimmer and Obradors have minor characters who exist merely to enable the plot. The roles are not very demanding and the acting is not that good. So, the movie mostly depends on the strength of Harrison Ford and he does the job. The film is worth watching for his performance alone.

Summary: Fun film with great chemistry between Ford and Heche
Review: I liked this one a lot. It wasn't meant to be a blockbuster actioneer, or an overly romantic or comedy film. Instead it has a little of all of those elements. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are wonderful together. Most enjoyable.

Summary: never really comes together
Review: I wanted to like this movie alot...and I guess I did enjoy it somewhat. Unfortunately the cute, if somewhat simplistic and over used, plot of this film could have used a rewrite, as well as different cast. Ford does a decent job, though this is hardly a role he will be remembered for. But there is absolutely no...none...zippppppppppppppppo chemistry between him and Anne Heche. In the end the movie feels kind of rushed as if large gabs of the film might have been left on the cutting room floor. Nothing that happens in this movie leads me to actually believe that Anne and Harrision have had the time to fall in love. Though as I already stated, there is no chemistry between them anyway.

Summary: Lacks focus
Review: Ann Heche and Harrison Ford are stranded on a remote island when their plane is struck by lightening. Beginning as antagonist, they eventually fall in love as they attempt to get home. The movie does contain some extremely funny scenes and Harrison Ford, as always, is excellent, but Ann Heche's off screen public homosexuality made her portrayal of an young woman falling for a much older man unbelievable. Contrary to Hollywood's attempt to normalized the relationship between the two, Heche's infatuation with a man old enough to be her father comes across as foolish and Ford's willingness to accept that infatuation, as predatory. The remainder of the story line contained so many useless subplots (pirates, Heche's fiancee's sleeping with another woman while trying to find her, etc.) that the primary plot is lost as the story flow is interrupted over and over again. The end of the movie comes as more of a relief than a conclusion.

Summary: Not the best Harrison Ford movie, but not the worst either!
Review: Anne Heche with Harrison Ford....Hmmm, I would have thought that this would not work, but for some reason it does. There was certainly more chemistry wih HF and Heche than there was with, Heche and David Schwimmer in this movie. Overall, this movie provides a some humor, some action and some romance to round it out as a pretty good movie over all. Schwimmer was whiney and kind of annoying but the story focuses more on Ford and Heche anyway. I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it. Check it out!
