  • Starring: Anne Heche, David Schwimmer, Harrison Ford
  • Summary: A dream vacation that turns into a tropical nightmare. A gruff, rough-hewn cargo pilot living in the islands, Quinn Harris (Ford) hates tourists ... though he's not above making a fast buck from a sharp-tongued New Yorker, Robin Monroe (Heche), when she's desperate for a quick flight to Tahiti. But this already uneasy relationship suddenly takes a nosedive when his weather-beaten old plane is forced down in a storm, stranding the duo. (Buena Vista)

    Part of what's so entertaining about Six Days, Seven Nights is the way Reitman happily mixes all the conventions of the stranded-on-an-island motif -- unpleasant encounters with creepy-crawly nature, the building of stuff out of bamboo and found objects, the first kiss in paradise.

    Bright, breezy, thoroughly enjoyable while you're sitting through it yet not likely to stick around in your head for long.

    David Schwimmer, our whiny friend, is used to good effect as Heche's boyfriend.

    In short, there's nothing remotely real or appealing about it.

    There's damn few movies that I can watch more than once. This is one. You actually can identify with the characters, more than one of the characters. (Considering that there are really only four main characters, 2 male and 2 female, you are really surprised when you identify with both characters of your gender). Expand
