Leave your thoughts about Six Days Seven Nights.
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordThink of a 'Romancing The Stone' and 'African Queen' with just a trace of the sexual politics of 'Swept Away' thrown in. Now lower your expectations -- drastically. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAnne Heche displays plenty of spunk and sparkle as a woman whose life is altered by her adventures as a castaway. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaUnpretentious, undemanding, and--most importantly--fun fluff that goes down as easily as a frothy pina colada on a balmy tropical beach. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyRomantic comedies don't get more formulaic than this bouncing-screwball valentine, but then they don't get much more delightful, either. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthySprinkled with just enough laughs, close shaves and compromising positions to keep audiences mildly interested, this old-fashioned popcorn picture is agreeably breezy and colorful, but lacks the pizzazz and star chemistry of a genre ancestor such as "Romancing the Stone." |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorMostly it's an overearnest examination of emotional and sexual fidelity. |

| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThis fluffy escape flick, directed by Ivan Reitman, is a TV sitcom plot grafted onto a travel brochure. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkBright, breezy, thoroughly enjoyable while you're sitting through it yet not likely to stick around in your head for long. |
