7 Days in Hell (2015)

the audience applauded

Captivating movie !

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is so bad, but yet so good. I had a real blast watching this and wasn't bored for one second. The cast, cameos and the weird style just made this really interesting and worth watching. It does however feel very cheap and completely silly.If this was a full 2 hour movie i would probably have gotten tired of this stupid, over the top style comedy but in 40 minutes it works great.I would completely understand if people rate this low though because of how ridiculous, cheap, rushed, low budget and poorly made it is or whatever you wanna call it. But i for one loved it.

I watched this HBO original "mockumentary"-style movie over the weekend, and while some of it was amusing, overall, I'm on the fence on this one. It concerns a 2001 tennis match between these two fictional tennis players (Kit Harington, Andy Samberg)- supposedly the greatest in the world- who battle on for seven days straight. They do EVERY-thing on the court- even have sex! (and three-somes! LOL) Samberg's character was obv. based on Andre Agassi, right down to the hair weave! LOL While I don't think anything really went over the top- this movie was only around 45 minutes long, and TBH, I would've liked to have seen a full-length movie, like in the 90 minute area. I think this could've been a good mockumentary film in the same vein as those Christopher Guest movies- "Best in Show", "A Mighty Wind", etc..

as a tennis fan for about 40 years, I know the ins and outs from watching grand slam tournaments. if you know your tennis, then you are familiar with the Wimbledon no-tiebreaker in the fifth set. think back to john isner two day fifth set. if you are not a fan of tennis, I can see why you wouldn't like it. to the reviewer who said it looked like they filmed it in 2-3 days -- you are correct. it was made in 3 days. I honestly think every match I watch from here on out, I will enjoy a good chuckle. this review may sound total helpless, but I wouldn't dare to give anything away. I don't think the world would come to an end if you took 50 minutes out of your life to watch it.

As much as I've always liked Andy Samberg, I was left wondering just why he chose this as a project. Forty minutes go by with very little continuity and (it appeared) no script. The whole thing seemed to be rushed and off the cuff and looked as though they completed it in about two-three days, and I don't think I laughed once. Even the co-stars (Howie Mandel, Mary Steenbergen, June Squibb, etc.) seemed wasted and their characterizations were tired and not particularly original. I think HBO has put out some incredible programming in the last few years but am wondering why they backed this, as it seems completely mediocre with no real point. Let's hope Samberg finds better projects in the future, he's way too good to be putting out stuff like this.
