Voisine de coeur

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,

i saw Eight Days a Week one night late on HBO, and I thought it was really funny. I liked the way jokes were presented and narrated by the main character Peter who has sort of a dry sense of humor. I recommend this to any teenager, also if you like this movie you must see 100 Girls, which in my opinion is almost a rip off,(although also good) of Eight Days a week with a few more twists in it. See this movie.

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.

Michael Davis hits the nail right on the head when it comes to the complexities of the teen mind, mainly focusing on lust (on the lighter side), sexual frustration and determination.

It takes place during the last free summer of a likable teen (a great Josh Schaffer). Inspired from a tale his grandpa Nono tells him, he sets out to win the affection of his life-long crush Erica (Keri Russell)by spending every minute of his summer on her front lawn. His task is not easy, as he must confront her bully boyfriend Nick (Johnny Green) and earn some respect from his father.

There is rather brilliant writing and direction by Michael Davis with characters who are all complex in their own way and great acting to match them (R.D. Robb steals the show in an ingenious performance).

There are some misfired jokes such as scenes involving an overly religious girl who plays with nun dolls (not offensive, just not very funny).

Nonetheless, 8 DAYS A WEEK is a little gem from Davis who unfortunately didn't match success with 2000's 100 GIRLS.

This is movie is a vehicle for Keri Russell to show us her physical stuff. After her extended wet t-shirt and bikini shots, and an an underwear bedroom scene, not much of her is left to the imagination in this film. Which, frankly, is fine by me. I've seen movies with less going for them. :-)

Otherwise, the film's premise is ridiculous. There is lots of sexual humor, as well as almost-funny references to human waste products. Nevertheless, there are some genuinely funny moments, almost none of which involve our main characters, the funniest of which involve a recurring young pre-teen neighborhood bully.

Most memorable scenes: Keri Russell's wet t-shirt and bikini shots.
