Disney's Six Days, Seven Nights [DVD]

Amazon.co.uk Review The African Queen meets Swept Away in this sometimes laboured romantic comedy by director Ivan Reitman. Fortunately, he cast an old pro in Harrison Ford, as Quinn Harris, a South Seas charter pilot who must ferry New York fashion editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) from one island to another--a hop that falls flat when they fly into a mammoth storm that causes them to crash on a deserted island. The pair resent and resist each other, until they are forced to team up to escape from the island--and some modern pirates who want their heads. If that part of the story is unconvincing, you can always focus on the smouldering comic chemistry between Heche, who displays strong comic instincts, and the ever-reliable Ford. The script is just an excuse for these two flinty characters to strike increasingly romantic sparks off each other, which is always enjoyable to watch. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com Product Description Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford) is a cranky pilot ferrying merchandise around a cluster of tropical islands. Although he despises the tourists who swarm onto the islands, he agrees to act as an air-taxi for New Yorker Robin Monroe (Anne Heche), who urgently needs to get to Tahiti. When a storm forces the plane down, the mismatched couple are forced to battle it out against the elements - and each other.
