7 Days in Hell

7 Days in Hell is a very silly tennis mockumentary. It's utterly ridiculous from beginning to end, but it's smart enough to make the stupidity work. It seems like something that was probably a lot of fun to make, since its creators were free to ignore all bounds of taste and reason.

One imagines half of the movie was devoted to casting, since the whole thing is a mix of Hollywood and sports celebrities. Everyone acquits themselves well.

Easily the best thing in the movie is Michael Sheen as talk show host Caspian Wint. I know Sheen as the uptight Dr. Masters, and Caspian proves he has a good deal of range and is an excellent comedic actor. I kind of wish they'd just made a movie about Wint rather than a movie about tennis.

I'm not a sports fan, and this might be funnier if you watch tennis, but I still enjoyed it. Not something for the ages, but very fun.

As long as you understand that it is intentionally dumb, then you will laugh through the whole thing. It's not trying to be like Blades of Glory or any other sports parody like that, it's just a dumb comedy that really is hilarious.

There are some scenes that go on too long, and moments of sex and general nudity that probably didn't need to be there. In other words, it's fitting for the HBO crowd but not for a whole family to sit down and watch.

Kit Harrington definitely stole the show, every second he was on screen was completely hilarious. I might just be too big of a Jon Snow fan, but I thought his character and his performance alone makes this worth watching.

Ridiculous but funny.

A "documentary" on the rivalry between and American tennis player, Aaron Williams (played by Andy Samberg), and an English tennis player, Charles Poole (Kit Harrington, of Game of Thrones fame). Focuses largely on the match where their rivalry reached a climax - Wimbledon 2001, 1st round - a match that took seven days...

Just from that you'll know this is not going to be a conventional, even realistic, comedy. It is incredibly over-the-top, to good effect. Some of the scenarios are so out there you can't believe anyone ever thought of putting it into a movie. However, this is HBO...

Not brilliant though. It often does rely on shock value for its laughs, and the writing does feel a bit sloppy at times.

Can't fault the cast though. Samberg and Harrington are great in the lead roles. Solid support from a host of big names: Michael Sheen, Mary Steenburgen, Lena Dunham, Fred Armisen, Howie Mandel plus several stars as themselves: John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Serena Williams, David Copperfield.

Outrageous fun.

Kit Harington and Andy Samberg, a rather unlikely pairing; nevertheless exciting in my view. I was expecting over-the-top comedy and this effort sure delivered. Mockumentaries are always great, when done right, and this was the case for 7 Days in Hell. The fact the I really like tennis made it even more appealing to me. The cast was brilliantly hilarious, from Kit and Andy and the celebrities who appeared as themselves. I'm really glad I came across this, it showed me an interesting side to Kit, who's probably the only one not involved in the comedic part of showbiz.

I'm surprised I hadn't even heard of this, and I know I would definitely watch this again!

7 days in hell is a fictional documentary about the longest tennis match in history. It is directed by Jake Szymanski and stars Kit Harington and Andy Samberg. First off, seeing the trailer I could this could be very funny or just very stupid. I'm glad to said that it turned out to be very funny. The acting is great, Kit Harington who is on Game Of Thrones, I didn't know if he could be funny and he played his part perfect. Andy Samberg was also great. He always plays a funny part and he's does a great job most of the time. Overall 7 days in hell was a funny fake documentary about tennis with great acting and has lots of great cameos. Defiantly worth checking out.
