7 Days in Hell is a very silly tennis mockumentary. It's utterly ridiculous from beginning to end, but it's smart enough to make the stupidity work. It seems like something that was probably a lot of fun to make, since its creators were free to ignore all bounds of taste and reason.One imagines half of the movie was devoted to casting, since the whole thing is a mix of Hollywood and sports celebrities. Everyone acquits themselves well.Easily the best thing in the movie is Michael Sheen as talk show host Caspian Wint. I know Sheen as the uptight Dr. Masters, and Caspian proves he has a good deal of range and is an excellent comedic actor. I kind of wish they'd just made a movie about Wint rather than a movie about tennis.I'm not a sports fan, and this might be funnier if you watch tennis, but I still enjoyed it. Not something for the ages, but very fun.

This is so bad, but yet so good. I had a real blast watching this and wasn't bored for one second. The cast, cameos and the weird style just made this really interesting and worth watching. It does however feel very cheap and completely silly.If this was a full 2 hour movie i would probably have gotten tired of this stupid, over the top style comedy but in 40 minutes it works great.I would completely understand if people rate this low though because of how ridiculous, cheap, rushed, low budget and poorly made it is or whatever you wanna call it. But i for one loved it.

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut were nothing against these guys. If you are as interested in tennis as I am, you will certainly understand this reference. And you will hopefully also enjoy these 42 minutes as much as I did. This comedy short film was really well done. Interviews with former tennis players like McEnroe and Chris Evert added a nice seemingly serious touch, but don't be mistaken. It is 100% comedy. David Copperfield's addition seemed a bit random at first, but it's fine too I guess. The scene where he appeared after one of his tricks (gone wrong) on the Centre Court was funny. I also liked everything with June Squibb, especially the elevator scene and the streakers on the court were fun too. Back to June Squibb, this is a nice watch for lovers of the film "Nebraska" as Will Forte appeared in here too. The runtime was perfect too. There were hardly no scene that felt unnecessary, so it was good to keep the film this short before it could possible drag. And of course, all the tennis scenes were pure comedy gold, especially the one scene called the greatest point ever played. This is a must-see for every tennis fan. Plus the cast isn't that bad either with Hamm, Dunham and Sheen apart from the ones I already mentioned. I laughed from start to finish in here and I was close to giving this one a perfect score. Finally, a mention to Murray Miller who wrote the script for this one. It would be nice to see him get Emmy recognition for this, but I guess not. Anyway, highly recommended. Go check it out.

As much as I've always liked Andy Samberg, I was left wondering just why he chose this as a project. Forty minutes go by with very little continuity and (it appeared) no script. The whole thing seemed to be rushed and off the cuff and looked as though they completed it in about two-three days, and I don't think I laughed once. Even the co-stars (Howie Mandel, Mary Steenbergen, June Squibb, etc.) seemed wasted and their characterizations were tired and not particularly original. I think HBO has put out some incredible programming in the last few years but am wondering why they backed this, as it seems completely mediocre with no real point. Let's hope Samberg finds better projects in the future, he's way too good to be putting out stuff like this.
