Six Days Seven Nights

I liked Ann Heche. Even though her ".... ass is too narrow and your tits are too small" according to Harrison,her sweet face and charming, feminine gestures and her courage and competence under fire win my heart.I liked Harrison Ford with his ever-cool, confident demeanor in the face of misfortune. This was intended to be a simple, entertaining film without forcing the watcher to engage his critical thinking. Thus they used the same scene that Ford had acted in Star Wars only this time with his old airplane rather than a re-conditioned beyond-light-speed space ship. In fact he could have conceivably been the pilot Quinn in 1997 and - in an future incarnation - Hans Solo flying the Millenium Falcon, though the movie-makers created the Stars Wars epic 20 years before the "Six days" movie.Among the trivia it was pointed out that they left a bar on top of the plane in one scene and not the next scene and Ann started the climb the mountain wearing a clean white dress and continued in shorts and a t-shirt thing and then was again in her dress which she changed on camera back at the wrecked plane. But these trivial things did not take away from one's enjoyment of the movie if one does not think too much.I found it silly that they crashed onto this island - deserted, uninhabited, not on Ford's chart, somewhere near Tahiti that had not only water and a mountain to cause weather and rainfall and flowing potable water and bird life and insect life, but a handy wrecked Japanese warplane (though the Japanese did not go to Tahiti during their WWII offensive) from which they were able to salvage light-weight pontoons to float their wrecked plane off the island, held on by strips of bamboo - when the fact is there are no uninhabited, habitable islands anywhere anymore and no uncharted islands in the Pacific - the British navy charted every piece of dirt and coral over 200 years ago.But, hell suspend critical thinking and enjoy the fun movie.As Heche said of Ford he was living every man's dream but it was only for men under the age of 12.And me too. And I am almost as old as Ford and I still dream of such a paradise.So I was happy with the ending even though Ford is twice as old as Heche their characters were able to grab a chance at some happiness in a thatched-roof shack.Hey, we only live once, right? So take what happiness you can.

If you are looking for a cross between a Romantic Comedy & an adventure movie in the tradition of ROMANCING THE STONE then this movie is likely for you. A tourist (Anne Heche) and pilot (Harrison Ford) fly into a storm & have to crash land on an uninhabited island in the south Pacific. The radio is out & nobody knows where they are.What follows is an entertaining film about 2 people who don't think they like each other.....until they find out that they do. They have several misadventures on the island that put them in awkward situations. Oh, and the island is absolutely gorgeous in spite of being isolated.For me the 1 downside of the DVD is that it is one of those 1990-esque movies that shows as a rectangle in lieu of using up the entire screen. I feel like I'm watching the movie thru a keyhole.Outside of that it's a very fun movie. Anne Heche is beautiful although I don't care for her Tomboyish short haircut. Much more importantly, Anne & Harrison have a good chemistry together & play their parts well. All in all, a movie that will delight both fans of Romantic comedies & fans of adventure movies alike!

I used to be an English professor. I taught technical writing, American literature...and FILM STUDIES. I'm not going to claim that this is the greatest film ever made, but it sure is fun. My rating: 3 and 3/4 out of 4 bags of popcorn. If you want the more traditional rating, that's 3 and 3/4 out of 4 stars. Harrison Ford is so sexy in this film, and Anne Heche is quite funny. These kids have chemistry.

Great movie! Really really wide screen which I’m not happy about. I couldn’t stretch it and no full screen option. I watch my movies wide screen but not like this dvd. Movie was across the middle of the screen of my smart tv and in some scenes the tops of the actors heads were not visible. Disappointing cuz I was so excited to get it. I enjoyed the movie but was irritated. So the two stars are for the movie itself

A film classic in the grand romantic comedy tradition. I don't get why Rotten Tomatoes only gives it a 36%. We watch it every couple years and enjoy every minute of it every time. The movie is really about the interactive chemistry, dry wit and spot-on timing of the actors -- more so than the story itself (which is a sturdy construct based on classic themes.) The pirates are good too, because they seem so real -- violent criminals like these could easily roam the high seas preying on rich people in their yachts. (When I buy my yacht, it is going to come fully loaded with turret guns! :-)

I am a fan of Harrison Ford since Star Wars, Witness, and Indiana Jones series. I had not seen him in any romantic comedy because I did not care for the actress in the remake of Sabrina years ago. I was able to watch the movie on cable first and discovered that this movie had action, suspense, comedy, and romance. There is chemistry between Anne Heche's and Harrison Ford's characters. I enjoyed the movie so much that I decided to purchase it for my extensive DVD library. I stopped purchasing DVDs for years now because there have not been any movies which I care to watch a second time. The movie has a slow pace initially, then, definitely picks up and captures your full attention. This movie reminds me of The Jewel of The Nile starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner. I loved Jewel of The Nile!!!!!! This movie is as exciting, entertaining, fun, and action-packed as Jewel.

Brilliant film, thoroughly enjoyable!Harrison Ford so enjoyable. Amusing and Ann Heche is a perfect companion.Brilliant support cast !

I have watched this movie today for the Nth time and had a good laugh, again! I just can't help it. I love it. I have seen in a theater in Brussels when it first came out, then on various airplanes, and decided to buy the DVD on Amazon. I will probably get the Blue-ray disc when it comes out.I love the story: older man, cool, witty, rough, adventurous. That is me. Or at least it's what I'd like to be. Younger career woman, completely different from him, fashio freak, follows the rules but likes to break them: that is the woman I would like to meet. They eventually both change their ways because they fall in love with each other.The pace is great, lots of unpredictable twists and turns, quite a few memorable lines. My fav is when Ford realizes they have little chance of getting rescued and tells her: "We are going to be together on this island for a long, long, ... long, long, long time!". He says it so well, with all the right pauses!I have the impression the DVD version cuts out some parts: I seem to recall that in the theater version they actually make love on the island, while in my DVD they just kiss. Whatever.A good version of the tested stuck-on-an-island theme, but also a wake up call for all those who dream of finding paradise in the wild tropics.

We enjoyed this film very much - very little violence - and that for the bad chap's come-uppance! Funny and differentfor Harrison Ford - and none the worse for that!

My partner saw this film years ago and said it was good.The disc was in good condition and worked perfectly. Always funny seeing Harrison Ford in a non serious role.And brilliant seeing David Shwimmer suffer in some way. Always.

One of our favourite films at a very reasonable price.
