Six Days Seven Nights (1998)

Name: Six Days Seven Nights
Director: Ivan Reitman
Released: 1998

In the South Pacific, in Polynesia, on the island of Makatea, Quinn Harris, a taciturn pilot, leads a quiet life, content to earn a living by transporting goods in his De Havilland Beaver. His life is exactly as he wants it to be—until he meets Robin Monroe, a sophisticated and determined woman, the assistant editor of a New York magazine, on vacation for a week with her boyfriend, Frank Martin. An urgent work assignment in Tahiti, the neighboring island, forces Robin to reluctantly hire Quinn to fly her there. But a violent storm forces them to make an emergency landing on a deserted island. This unlikely pair avoids each other at first, until they are forced to team up to escape the island... and evade the pirates who are after them. Danger and temptation are never far away...

What critics compared Six Days Seven Nights to

The Lost City (2022)

Directed by Aaron Nee

Plot

Directed by brothers Adam and Aaron Nee, who collaborated on the script with Oren Uziel and Dana Fox, "The Lost City" owes its most direct debt to "Romancing the Stone" but recalls any number of romantic pairings in exotic locales, a la "Six Days, Seven Nights."

Their modern sense of humor goes down way easier than Bullock and Tatum retreading 1998’s miserable “Six Days Seven Nights” with whiny Anne Heche and Harrison Ford.

We’ve seen all varieties of attempts to recreate it since its blockbuster release, from Lewis Teague’s 1985 sequel The Jewel of the Nile , to Ivan Reitman's Six Days Seven Nights , to Jaume Collet-Serra’s Jungle Cruise (which, you’ll remember, just hit theaters last year).

Two big stars, lush greenery, cascading waterfalls: if you've seen "Romancing the Stone," "Six Days Seven Nights" or any number of jungle-set romantic comedy adventures, you already know the drill with "The Lost City."

“The Lost City” is completely harmless as it attempts to revisit past-generation romantic comedy/action adventures such as the aforementioned “Stone,” “Six Days, Seven Nights,” “King Solomon’s Mines,” “The Mummy” and of course “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” but it’s so cartoonishly over the top that it bears no resemblance to anything that could ever happen in the real world.

However, other such attempts like Fool's Gold or Six Days Seven Nights failed much harder, so "good enough" might be enough for The Lost City.

Fanboys (2009)

Directed by Kyle Newman

There are some mild laughs to be had, and more than a few clever in-jokes and gags (loved the barbed reference to 1998's Harrison Ford/Anne Heche bomb "Six Days, Seven Nights"), but mostly "Fanboys" will leave you with a smile across your face for ninety minutes.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Directed by Nicholas Stoller

Plot

Think of the lame “Joe Versus the Volcano” (1990), with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan; or of the shirtless Owen Wilson caper, “The Big Bounce” (2004); or of Anne Heche and Harrison Ford, eying each other warily, then snarling and scrapping, in “Six Days, Seven Nights” (1998).

Swept Away (2002)

Directed by Guy Ritchie

Plot

Beyond having seen that far too many times - whether it's Hanks in "Cast Away," Ford and Heche in "Six Days, Seven Nights" or even the gang on "Gilligan's Island - that segment brings nothing new beyond the unappealing, chauvinism of what follows.
