A film review by Jeffery Sanders
Copyright © 1998 Jeffery Sanders

I saw 6 Days, 7 Nights tonight. I'm very glad I saw it, for one reason - It was free. Had I actually paid for this I would have been disappointed. But since the tickets to the premiere were part of a package I won off the radio, I was mildly pleased with the hour and fourty minutes I spent in a theater.

What was good:

Anne Heche - The best thing about the film. This woman is funnier than her, um, partner Ellen DeGenerous! A hilarious scene where she gets squished by an inflatable boat is comic gold! She delivers some of the best lines, however she occasionally gets a little too unromantic and unappealing.

Planes - If you like cool "Tailspin" like airplanes then it's worth a look.

Pretty Scenery - The island is beautiful, but unfortunately remains mostly unexplored.

What's Mediocre:

Harrison Ford - 21 years ago he played a young cocky flyboy, now he plays an old cocky flyboy! He gets pretty tiresome, but delivers some good lines that are funny because they're true; "Your tits are too small" he tells Heche, just as we are all thinking that.

What's Bad:

David Schwimmer - Don't get me started!!!

Pirates - The worlds stupidest pirates! The pirates have no character and are just plain stupid! No Pirates are stupid enough to shoot themselves with a cannonball!!!

The Script - No plot! Just pointless things happening! Gets very tiresome.

Overall - A pretty mediocre movie. A few small chuckles, overall worth renting. The screenwriters thought up a good premise, but had no where to go with it and had to resort to repeating the same whiny shtick and stupid pirates! Wait for video!

5.5/10
