a5c7b9f00b Robin Monroe, a New York magazine editor, and the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island. Taking a romantic tropical island week off with her boyfriend, an ambitious, decisive New York girl agrees to help her magazine out by covering a story on a neighboring island. The only plane available is piloted by a laid-back heavy drinker with whom she shares a mutual dislike. But she has no choice and he can&#39;t refuse the money. When the plane crash-lands on an uninhabited island with little chance of rescue they both wish they had made other arrangements - at least to start with. &#39;Six Days Seven Nights&#39; is unabashed fun. Its a genuine fun-ride, that doesn&#39;t underwhelm. <br/><br/>&#39;Six Days Seven Nights&#39; Synopsis: Robin Monroe, a New York magazine editor &amp; the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island.<br/><br/>&#39;Six Days Seven Nights&#39; begins well &amp; successfully manages to maintain its momentum pretty much till the end. The only glitch lies in its second-hour, which tends to drag a bit. <br/><br/>Michael Browning&#39;s Screenplay has more of pluses, than minuses. Ivan Reitman&#39;s Direction is photographic. Cinematography captures the wilderness nicely. Editing is ably done. <br/><br/>Performance-Wise: Harrison Ford &amp; Anne Heche share a crackling chemistry on-screen &amp; deliver most efficiently. Jacqueline Obradors is lively, while David Schwimmer is reduced into a caricature. <br/><br/>On the whole, &#39;Six Days Seven Nights&#39; balances well between romance, adventure &amp; humor! This film is much too predictable and not very entertaining. The casting of Heche and Ford is great but the screenplay and direction let them down. I liked looking at the island photography, but this film is just plain empty. Part of what's so entertaining about Six Days, Seven Nights is the way Reitman happily mixes all the conventions of the stranded-on-an-island motif – unpleasant encounters with creepy-crawly nature, the building of stuff out of bamboo and found objects, the first kiss in paradise.
