The only thing that this film has going for it is the scenery. The idea for the plot of "Six Days Seven Nights" was a good one, if not original, about people being stranded on an island. Unfortunately, the screenplay goes way overboard in the action area with its wild encounters. With a weak script and weak characters, the actors can't save this film. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche seem to reflect the lack of anything of substance in the film, let alone any chemistry for romance. Other things detract from the film - its crude language, pushing of sex, and violence. With all that Quinn Harris (Ford) and Robin Monroe (Heche) face in this film, couldn't the writers and director have squeezed in a couple more oddities? Say, an erupting volcano, or a giant gorilla attack? As others have noted, Harrison Ford, like most actors, had poor roles in films that were turkeys. This is probably one film he'd like to forget.

Review Six Days, Seven Nights is a 1998 adventure-comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. The screenplay was written by Michael Browning. It was filmed on location in Kauai and released on June 12, 1998. The main character of this movie is named Robin and it is very curious because she finds herself on a desert island in company with the pilot Quinine, who had to catch her to Tahiti like Robinson. Their romantic story is at the heart of this movie. There two other characters who connect with the main two - Frank and Angelica. So there are two men characters - Frank and Quinine, and two women characters - Robin and Angelica. And such a set of characters is thought of as an antagonistic one. Sweetie Frank on the beginning of the story is Robin's boyfriend. On first sight Frank is very romantic person. But it is deceptive conclusion. He is very pragmatic one, he is very gentle person, weak and dependent of company he gets on. His vision of life is stereotypical and that's why he can't understand that there is no different for lovers to be on tropical island or office when they love each other. His antagonist - Quinine do understand it. The dialog between Quinine and Robin when he says: They come here looking for "the magic," expecting to find romance...when they can't find it any other place. It's an island, babe. If you don't bring it here, you won't find it here; is the keynote, main message of this movie. So Quinine is rude, cynic, but the brave person and he had some sorrowful story on his past life. Frank seems to live in an illusory world where everything happens on time and place it has to - like in movies - for example, he sure that engagement has to estate on a such a romantic place like the island he took his girlfriend on. Quinine overcomes his best friend sell out and heartbreak that is why he found a better way of life, "Came out here, got a nice, little house on a beautiful beach. Got his plane. Doing what he wants to do. Got peace and quiet". Quinine throws out the comforts of the big world where women wanted men who weren't afraid to cry, who were in touch with their feminine side (like Frank is). Robin is very decisive and conscientious person but while living in the big town she is treating with modern aberrations that's why Frank is her boyfriend. But when she is caught on the desert island with Quinine she tells him that women like men mean and armed, all the more so when they're being chased by pirates (it is another detail of their adventure). Eventually, the adventure helps both of them to understand what they want indeed. Quinine realizes that his broken heart can love again and Robin understands that she wants to be with some real men not with a sweetie infantile person, who gives you away in severities. So six days and seven nights on the desert island rock the world of the main character of this movie - They fall in love with each other. They get a chance to meet each other and have an opportunity to crush their common-and-garden vision of life while stemming difficulties. They succeeded in making out of each other, they managed to get a sight of themselves.Lugowska

Ivan Reitman, the director, is usually able to pep things up but you can't breathe life into a corpse.It wasn't possible to watch this thing all the way through but it wasn't necessary either because it's all so familiar from previous versions of the bourgeois lady stranded with the handsome roughneck on the island of Sarcastica. Or is it Moribunda? The formula was an enormous success with "It Happened One Night" in 1934, a commercial and critical success, and a lot of fun. There were imitations of course but the pattern seemed exhausted by 1941's "The Bride Came C.O.D.," which had Bette Davis sitting on a cactus. But periodically since then the coffin creaks open and another attempt to use a tried and true formula emerges. Well, what the hell. All the originals were in black and white, and nobody watches old movies anymore.I really don't mind an occasional visit to the graveyard if the zombies turn out to be entertaining, but this is not. The anger and snottiness turn to love, sure, but it's not very funny. The jokes are the kind you might find in Laurel and Hardy. The dialog is bromidic. The performances are over pitched as if in an attempt to compensate for the uninspired plot.The writers haven't bothered with credibility much, but that's okay because this is supposed to be a romantic fantasy. Still, it's momentarily painful when you realize that they didn't care whether the setting was supposed to be Polynesia or the Caribbean. Everyone speaks English, some with a French accent, others with a Spanish accent. It doesn't matter to the writers, for whom a foreign accent is a foreign accent, just like the 1940s when the heroes spoke American and the Nazis spoke British.You have to be undemanding to enjoy this but the kids should get a kick out of it.

Robin Monroe an ambitious New York girl is on a South Seas vacation with her Boyfriend, when she's called away on business. The only plane available is piloted by Quinn Harris with whom she shares a mutual dislike. They crash on a deserted island. There, this mismatched pair finds themselves facing danger, while they endure the elements and each other's company…..The movie on itself is not that bad. OK the movie is predictable, and it contains a lot of clichés. But this movies does what it was designed to do. It don't require a lot of brain power, but is enjoying to watch. A well mixture of competent shooting at a marvelous location and great acting from the two leads.The two leading actors Heche and Ford building up a unique romantic chemistry throughout the film. The normally wooden Harrison Ford is funny and convincing as Quin Harris. He is very comfortable on the screen thanks to Anne Heche. She is the real star of the movie. This movie shows that she is one of the most underrated actresses in the business.The movie would have been much better and more enjoyable without David Schwimmer. He almost ruins the movie entirely on his own with his horrible acting. He was incredibly annoying and whiney with his Ross-alike performance in this movie.All by all, a predictable but tasty meal.
