Eight Days a Week

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.

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.

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.

A film that I'd never heard of and chanced upon by accident, Eight Days a Week deserves to be a mainstay of teen cinema in the same way that John Hughes' eighties work is.

Joshua Schaeffer has just the right balance of geek and cool individualism to pull off a character that could very easily fall into stalker territory and R.D. Robb is excellent as his sex-obsessed sidekick; keeping what could very easily become a caricature grounded in reality. The supporting cast of oddballs never overshadow the main story, but equally don't feel like padding as we learn more about their slightly kooky lives.

It's a shame that films like this go unnoticed in a world where much more crass attempts at summing up teenage life (complete with thirty year old actors) can become box office hits.
