Critics Consensus

A generally enjoyable, if completely forgettable piece of Hollywood fluff.

"Six Days, Seven Nights" is throwaway fun, the kind of lightweight summer movie that's more rare these days than it should be.

It's enjoyable thanks to the attractive screen presence of Heche and Ford, but director Ivan Reitman fails to capitalize on his leads' chemistry.

A starry cast and idyllic location can't save this largely-forgotten adventure-comedy from feeling lost at sea.

...a somewhat hit-and-miss endeavor that benefits substantially from Ford's remarkably loose, engaging turn.

Six Days, Seven Nights is an easygoing adventure rom-com that benefits from its tropical setting, solid production, and the natural charm of Harrison Ford and Anne Heche. Their chemistry keeps things entertaining, and the film has a breezy, energetic feel that makes it watchable. The cinematography captures the island beautifully, and the music complements the lighthearted tone. It is the kind of movie that is easy to sit through, with enough fun moments to keep it from feeling dull. The biggest drawback is the predictability of the story. The plot follows a formula so closely that there is little room for surprises or creativity. Comedy and serious moments don’t always blend well, making some scenes feel unintentionally awkward. It never fully commits to being an adventure, romance, or comedy, which leaves it feeling a bit weightless. That said, if you go in just looking for a simple, visually appealing adventure with likable leads, it does the job well enough.

As much as I appreciate what Harrison Ford was trying to salvage within Six Days, Seven Nights, this was not one of his best performances. The film ended up in a rather disappointing and bland with poorly written characters that shared little or no chemistry and a plot that is nonsensical.

This wasn't very good. It certainly wasn't worthy of Harrison Ford. Also, all the characters seem like absolutely terrible people. Disappointing.
