Eight Days a Week

Well its a teen movie, even its not a sex comedy but still its good. the movie story is simple n straight. the performance is also ok .

but the only thing i really didnt like is the ending. i mean call it stupid youth or stupid teen love, that watching a crush with someone else and knowing that they both banging every night. and then in the end she finally fall for the kid.. pfff.

If the boy just moved on his life even knowing that his lover now feeling for him , then it would be great ending.

I don't see how anyone could say this film is the Breakfast Club of our generation. No way. This movie could have been good. Well, thats a stretch. Had someone else written it, someone else directed it, and someone else played the lead role... Then it could have had some potential. But the only bright side of this film is Keri Russel. And the only reason she lifts this movie up is her body. A movie cannot be driven by one gorgeous female. It needs good acting, good directing, and countless other things. This film is full of bad cliches and bad dialogue.

On the other hand, I must admitt I did enjoy this film somewhat. It had a few bright points and Keri Russel sure helped. See it. Forget it. I give it a 5/10.

I, like many others, wouldn't have ever seen this movie if not for late night cable. I don't recall ever hearing about this movie come out in 97. The movie did have humorous moments, but I think what I enjoyed most were the interactions between Peter and his best friend. I found the general premise a little silly, but I couldn't say I had major problems with the movie. I don't think the movie was intended to be filled with cleverly subtle jokes but rather of a more basic humor. It lacked a certain credibility automatically for being a teen movie,but that's sort of how the cookie crumbles. Anyway, I don't think it was the funniest movie ever, as others found, but it wasn't torture to watch either. I don't think I'd ever have told anyone to rent or pay for a ticket to watch this, but I'd be slow to change the channel.

Although I would never call this movie a masterpiece, and I don't care to own it, I was surprised by its quality. You might say that if one's expectations are low enough, anything can seem surprisingly good, but if your expectations are that low you wouldn't rent the movie to begin with.

Although this movie didn't begin its life as a stage play, it easily could have as 90 percent of it is shot in the front yard of the character played by Keri Russell. The movie is reminiscent of John Cusak's "The Sure Thing" for the way it shamelessly admires the body and beauty of Keri Russell. And much of the humor recalls "There's Something About Mary" and "American Pie."

I do have a complaint, though, for the way the filmmaker makes buffoons out of Keri Russell's Christian parents. The consensus in Hollywood is that serious Christians are pathetic hypocrites who have no understanding or tolerance for others. Whoever made this movie must be a particularly virulent example of the Hollywood Christian-loather considering the extent to which he makes foolish villains out of Keri Russell's parents.

it seems like the only method of distribution the filmmakers or whatever did was sell this movie to cable networks to be played at late night when no one watches,except,for me. This movie is not good,but not horrible. I,am a teenager,and even though I really hate teen comedies,this one was above the scale in intelligence,but the humor was way too elementary for most perverted teens in my opinion. The only funny part was when Peter discovered Kerri Russell's dads sculpture of the weird looking Jesus Christ. And if you're going to have so much comedy about sex,why not actually show some nudity? I would not recommend to rent,but to watch at late night if you're really bored,
