They've already been together for three years, so when Frank asks her to marry him, she says yes. For a one-day Tahiti photo shoot, Robin engages the services of South Pacific cargo pilot Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford). Robin and Quinn head off to do the shoot, but a squall forces Quinn to land his DeHavilland Beaver on the beach of a remote, unknown island. With broken landing gear, they're trapped there. Search parties set forth. Robin and Quinn cope with each other. Survival skills surface. Sexual tensions escalate. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Frank and Quinn's girlfriend, Angelica (Jacqueline Obradors), compare concerns at the hotel bar. Several days later, the search is called off. Quinn and Robin are left to their own devices, including removing pontoons from a convenient Japanese war plane and attempting a take off. Filmed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

    Sometimes entertaining, but actually this romantic-adventure comedy is just another dumb and artificial Hollywood comercial "fast-food" junk movie. Rotten.

    While it has some rewarding elements, it is a sub-par thriller with little meaning. It has a hard time differentiating itself from comedy and seriousness, which gets annoying. Harrison Ford has a few funny lines, but that is the extent of the films enjoyment.

    "Six Days, Seven Nights" is one of my favorite movies from the last few years. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are on a deserted island together after a raging storm crashes their plane. At first they resent each other, but they have to try to find a way off the island and even esca... read morepe pirates, so they learn to like each other, maybe even more than they wanted to.
    "Six Days, Seven Nights" has elements of many different kinds of movies. Parts of it are funny such as when a snake gets a hold of Anne and Harrison has to help her out. Parts of it are also like an action movie such as when the two have to run for their lives to escape angry pirates. Anne Heche and Harrison Ford go on a short journey to try and find where a device is located that they can shut down and have a chance to be rescued when some people come to the island to fix it, giving the movie a sense of adventure. And after the two learn to be a team and grow to like each other, it has a little bit of a romantic touch to it.

    Pretty much, "Six Days, Seven Nights" is considered a romantic comedy, but it has elements of many other types of movies, which is what I really liked about it. Harrison Ford and Anne Heche are great on the set together, they might could even be the next Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I recommend anybody to give "Six Days, Seven Nights" a chance. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. I've always found this to be an underrated movie for both Heche and Harrison.

    This is such a mismatched pair. Seriously, Harrison Ford and Anne Heche? What were they thinking?

    I love Harrison Ford so I hate giving bad reviews for his films, but there simply was no chemistry between these two.

Anne Heche displays plenty of spunk and sparkle as a woman whose life is altered by her adventures as a castaway. Full Review

Ford is at least 400 years old and he has still got it...the sexual tension starts and grows, a nice, easy slow burn but it's palpable and believable.

Unpretentious, undemanding, and--most importantly--fun fluff that goes down as easily as a frothy pina colada on a balmy tropical beach. Full Review

Think 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. Full Review
