Six Days, Seven Nights
(Buena Vista)
Anne Heche and Harrison Ford
are fine as the workaholic magazine editor and rum-soaked charter pilot who
crash into a beach on a South Pacific island and, as their survival skills are
tested by hazards from water snakes to pirates, find their mutual antipathy
evolving into attraction: Heche is perfectly adorable, brittle but tough, bossy
but likable, and Ford, often stiff and dyspeptic in romantic comedies, seems
more relaxed and easygoing than he has in years. Too bad director Ivan Reitman
and first-time screenwriter Michael Browning have marooned the couple in such a
pleasant, painless diversion of a non-movie.
