 Thank you Keri! May 22, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Thank you Keri Russell for making this movie! One day you will be very glad you made this movie because it captures you at your most beautiful and sensual, and you will be thusly immortalized. Physical beauty is elusive and enigmatic for those who are not blessed with it, and all too ephemeral for those who are. I am certain you will someday be very thankful because it is rare for an actress to have the opportunity to showcase her looks and talent at her peak, yet this film does just that. Believe me that many of us value this tremendously.
The movie itself is pretty good and the transfer is clean. Special features are few, though it has the best one of all - Keri Russell. That's all we need, however, and she is the only reason I give this five stars.
 A decent teen romantic comedy starring a gorgeous pre-Felicity Keri Russell. November 3, 2005
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
I caught this movie on late night cable one weekend. I was suffering from a prolonged allergy attack that had knocked me on my @$$ and made me wish that someone would put me out of my misery. Usually, when I'm sick like this, I'll watch stuff on T.V. that I normally would pass on since my mind is somewhere else. While flipping through the movie channels I saw that a movie starring the extremely cute Keri Russell (best known as T.V.'s Felicity) called Eight Days a Week was coming on, that it was Rated-R and contained strong sexual content. Curious to see what Ms. Russell looked like minus most of her clothes (though she doesn't go all the way), I proceeded to watch the film expecting a disaster/guilty pleasure.
To my surprise, this movie turned out to be a decent little teen-romantic-comedy. The acting is solid, there were some genuinely funny moments, the main character who camps out on Keri's lawn reminded me sometimes of Woody Allen as a teenager and Ms. Russell was extremely beautiful and sweet. (On the completely shallow and superficial front, Keri Russell doesn't actually do any nudity, though she comes frustratingly close at numerous occasions.)
The basic plot involves Peter (Joshua Schaefer), a nerdy teen who has a huge crush on the gorgeous Erica (Keri Russell) who lives across the street. He tries to get her attention but she's wrapped up in a relationship with a stereotypical jock. Peter than decides after getting advice from his Grandfather to camp out on her lawn (all day and night) and not leaving until she lets him profess his admiration for her and hopefully starts going out with him.
That's essentially the whole plot. There are various characters that weave in and out of the movie. In addition to Peter's grandpa, he has a best friend who is extremely oversexed and will do anything to get laid. Erica's parents are extremely devout Christians and are very strict with her. There's a middle-aged woman with whom Peter's friend has a crush on. One of the neighbors also is carrying mysterious trash bags out to his car and Peter and his friend start thinking that the guy might have killed somebody and is disposing of the body (of course they're very wrong.)
The movie features some pretty insightful viewpoints on teen relationships and society in general. I particularly liked Peter's viewpoints on almost everyone who lives near him and how peculiar their behavior sometimes was. On the downside, I found his best friend to be somewhat annoying and his attempts at being funny somewhat forced. He's the apparent goofy sidekick/comic relief of the movie, and unfortunately, he ground the movie to a halt whenever he was on screen. There's also a couple of pointless subplots involving people in his neighborhood that just come across as an effort to pad out the movie's running time.
But most people will probably check out this movie specifically for (a pre-Felicity) Keri Russell. She really did a great acting job and made her character genuinely sweet. Once she makes her entrance in the movie, it's not any mystery as to why Peter is madly in love with her.
Anyone who is a fan of her will want to check out this movie ASAP. The opening scene, for instance, has her frolicking in a water sprinkler wearing a wet t-shirt and extremely tight shorts. There's another in which she's in a very tight bikini and the camera slowly pans over her entire body in explicit detail. She does numerous revealing shots (including a couple of surprising crotch shots) in tight dresses and underwear, but unfortunately, no nudity. But it's refreshing that the writer/director actually gave her character some depth and didn't treat her completely as eye candy (though she excels in that department).
While some of the movie gets quite raunchy at times, it is actually surprisingly restrained at times and doesn't come close to approaching American Pie gross-out territory.
While not anything memorable or spectacular, Eight Days of Week does have its moments and isn't a complete waste of time if you happen to run across it on cable or your local video store. It's a great showcase for the lovely and talented Keri Russell and is much better than a lot of similar teen romantic comedies. I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
Eights Days a Week is rated R and contains strong sexual content, nudity and language.

I can't begin to say how awsome this movie is.It will always hold a dear dear place in my heart. It was, at a point in my life (the point at which i saw it. that is during my freshman year of college), an introspective into my own mind. i just hope i can own it one day, for i no longer own a VCR. there isn't even any place in the city where i can rent it. PLEASE COME TO DVD

It was ok, but that was about it. As I think many people have said, it's for those who really like Keri Russel, but didn't test
her acting ability at all.Oh, and it can be bought on DVD out of the UK at blackstar, and
maybe amazon.co.uk for those of you with multizoning.
Must See April 13, 2004
You may overlook this film, thinking that it's your average everyday teen flick..... If you pass up a chance to watch "8 Days a Week", you are doing yourself a huge injustice. Not only is it brimming over with completely original and witty humor, it offers a different perspective on the people who surround us everyday, making you think twice before judging another's actions. Wonderfully written and executed, "8 Days a Week" is a must see for all ages.
