Six Days Seven Nights Trailers

In the South Pacific island of Makatea, career-driven magazine editor Robin Monroe is on a week-long vacation getaway with her boyfriend, Frank Martin. An emergency work assignment in neighboring Tahiti requires Robin to hire the cantankerous pilot Quinn Harris who had flown them to Makatea on a small transport plane. While flying, a powerful storm forces Quinn to make an emergency landing on a nearby deserted island. The dissimilar pair avoid each other at first, until they're forced to team up to escape from the island -- and some pirates who want their heads.

Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
dominidomini 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
Hotwriter99 I honestly do not understand why so many hate on this movie so much; it's funny, has a decent amount of action, the right amount of sexiness, and the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Anne Heche is AMAZING! They are great together! You don't see Harrison Ford in that many comedies but he knocked this right out of the park; I laughed at every funny encounter. I will admit, David Schwimmer was my least favorite part of the whole thing; it was like watching Ross from FRIENDS in a feature film. But perhaps that was the point of his comic relief as it does fit with his character fairly well. Regardless, this movie deserves a lot more credit. It's a great movie to watch and you'll laugh, enjoy the suspense, and feel the sexual tension. In my opinion, that's a recipe for a really great movie.
Roth van Turnhout 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.
a-leubecker This movie is largely remembered somewhat controversially as it was made when Ellen Degenerate came out of the closet and beat us over the head with her gayness. This is relevant because Anne Heche was revealed to be Ellen's Lover and was filming this movie at the time. Weather or not this helped or hindered the movie's popularity, we will never know for sure. As the movie itself is amusing at best, and forgettable at worst.This movie has plenty of comedic moments that are genuinely funny. Harrison Ford has great chemistry with Anne Heche and is clearly enjoying himself on set. Even the dude from Friends wasn't horrible as long as you keep in mind he's essentially playing his character from the show, Friends.The problems with this movie is the pacing and lack of character development. It moves oddly fast. It's called 6 days and 7 nights but they are only stranded for 2 days one one night. Also their romantic motivations are never clearly defined. I won't spoil it for you but I am left wondering why Harrison Ford's character made the decision that he did.In the end it's a mediocre comedy. It's not bad but neither is it good. But largely it's a harmless comedy, reserved for fans of Harrison Ford who just want to see Han Solo Fart around like Captain Ron
