Robin (Heche) is called back to work from her vacation but she and pilot Quinn (Ford) have to land due to horrendous thunderstorms and land on a deserted island with no means to get back.
Stuck on a deserted island, no food, and no means of survival and stuck with someone you can't stand. Six days and Seven Nights is described as an hilarious adventure but feels more like the holiday from hell with its predictable script, a choice of poor settings and one of the most awful and predictable romances to ever emerge on screen.
From a man who has starred in the legendary Star Wars and Indian Jones quadrilogy, you would have expected Harrison Ford to be in more intelligent and sophisticated films than this, what can only be described, as a promising prospect gone completely wrong. Ford's talents are wasted against the tiresome script that gives no interest or excitement as it is based on a feeble against all odds morality test. Dull and with no sense of what to focus on, this 1998 picture is an abomination of an adventure.
Cast Away, though emerging on screens a few years after this release, tells the story of a man lost with no means of getting home. Tom Hanks gave an Oscar nominated performance as the man desperate to survive and keep himself sane. Now that 2000 Zemeckis film was what the human spirit and survival should be like, a tear jerking journey that puts you inside the character's mind and makes you truly wonder.
This plot doesn't know what to cover. The obvious mismatched couple crashing is as predictable as falling rain and the idea that they will hit it off is as clear as day. But trying to balance that against styling artistic setting and the concept of survival couldn't have been more inaccurate and distracting. First survival against the elements, then lust then exploration. And it seems the inaccurate concept of adventure needed an even dafter reason to entertain so some stereotypical pirates were encoded, just for extra eyebrow raising.
There is not enough dialogue to justify the 'hilarious adventure' description. When trying to be funny, it's the typical pit pocking appearance regime or how funny it is to see how predictable the situations can be.
Unsurprising, mismatched and so unadventurous you keep looking at your watch wondering when the inevitable will finally arrive.
