Predictable, full of clichés and horrible jokes.This movie was made just to lure U2 into coming back to México. And they bit, that's the worst part of the story.A guy bets the lifetime savings from his girlfriend's parents (who, of course, can access her parents account without any warning) and bets it on an underground betting game in order to make money to bring U2 to Mexico.As expected, he loses the game and gets in trouble. Thank God the mafia don loves U2 and, lo and behold, the kid has 7 days to convince not only other investors, but the band's manager to play a gig in Mexico. Piece of cake.Incredibly badly written, even worst acting (specially from Camil who can't act to save his life) and the rest is a poor excuse for a movie. U2 fans who were attracted to this filth because they were told the band would appear in the movie, only get bad footage from the Vertigo tour tried to be synchronized with a song, which just doesn't happen.I think there should be fines for people who make movies this bad.

It's simple. It's a very good movie. Not fantastic but wery good. The plot is not really new. A guy who gambles with money that doesn't belong to him and looses it to the mob. To survive he has to achieve an impossible task. Retrieve the money in 7 days and to organize a U2 concert. His probable executioner, being a big U2 fan, helps him in this task. A new uncommon friendship? You feel nostalgia, drama, humor, love etc. all over the scenes and places. Cinematography is nice, music fantastic, the characters, belonging to different worlds, make it very short-wile listening to them... I had a good time, time passed, the finale as U2 fan just fantastic.

Finally after many years of waiting and under the excellent guidance of the acclaimed writer and film Director Fernando Kalife,the great Mexican cinema comes to life again across the borders . This Film, winner from Cine Festival Guadalupe in San Antonio,Texas presents a modern story where passion,loyalty and betrayal gets unexpectedly mixed in a Urban MAFIA/Rock environment. The movie will keep you glued to your seat from beginning to end. Deliciously planted and leaded by the magnificent performances of Eduardo Arroyuelo (Claudio Caballero)Jaime Camil (Tony Zamacona) and Martha Higareda(Gloria) and with the awesome musical background provided by the megabands "U2" and " LA LEY" the plot will TEACH you the 101's on how Artistic business can get done. This movie promises to become a classic. Two thumbs up!

Why? That's just the question, why somebody gave this people the money to shoot this "film"? Why U2 let them use their music? Why someone actually believes that Jaime Camil could be an actor? Why does this piece of **** exists??... There is a wave in Mexican cinema. They are shooting easy going plots to raise money. But they have two problems: one, the stories are simply awful, and therefore they are wasting some great stories about our country, plots that are waiting to be told...Siete Días is probably one of the worse movies of all time...and nobody seems to notice that... Why? i have no idea...i just want to go to a movie theatre in my country and watch good stories, about our cities, our towns, our people. There are exceptions, of course, but in general, we are wasting the opportunity to tell the great story of actual Mexico... What a Shame...Shame on Fernando Kalife, Shame on the Producers...
