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.
Not at all what I expected when I saw the trailer. They pushed the envelope as far as possible when making this movie and it paid off. How unexpected some of the things are in this movie is what makes it so funny. Andy Samberg and Kit Harrington play their roles perfectly Definitely do not watch this movie with any children or your parents depending on your situation. The unexpected cameos in this movie are incredible. They got the most random people possible to be in this movie. Do not go into this movie with high hopes, accept it as it is. You will not be disappointed. So many things about this movie are incredible. 7 Days in Hell is 100% worth the watch.
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 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.

The Idea of the movie is so fresh and genuine the plot is extended and unpredictable .. and the script is funny , In some parts it looked a bit loose with only a couple of shaggy scenes like having sex on the court or in the Swedish prison but it's an HBO thing so we shall be used to that by now but As a whole it suits a TV movie form on cable and i do think they mad it perfectly on the time matter speaking. back to the writer Murray Miller he is not that guy with much of achievements apart from 3 Primetime Emmy nominations on Girls and American Dad :D yet i do believe he made a home run by this movie. Honestly, The ending was Fair but not satisfying it was like lets make a balanced final scene between two stars "Andy Samberg and Kit Harington".
As for the cast, they were all amazing.. bringing a real tennis starts like Serena Williams, Chris Evert and McEnroe was nice touch to make the movie look more like a documentary style .. the others like Will Forte, Fred Armisen and of course that leading stars Andy Samberg and Kit Harington were really funny.
So overall, the movie really works, and yeah the huge campaign i'v seen advertising the movie worked magic ... so it was nice watching some new style of comedy with such a cool cast.
