AlbinoAl 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.

Toxie2k2 This is one of my all time favourite films, not just because its got a great (although not totally original) plot but also because it manages to inspire at the same time. This is one of the films that made me want to make films...I can't see me ever going to the effort that Peter did to get Erica, but anyone who's ever loved someone can understand it :)

christina487 I don't know why the producers decided to market this as another teen flick, with the typical cliche box cover, etc. This movie is actually really well crafted and really well written. I'm pretty picky about the movies I watch and I really enjoyed this one, despite thinking I was going to hate it. The dialogue is very witty -- very Clerks-esque, if you like that kind of style.

[email protected] I don't see how anyone could say this film is the Breakfast Club of our generation. No way. This movie could have been good. Well, thats a stretch. Had someone else written it, someone else directed it, and someone else played the lead role... Then it could have had some potential. But the only bright side of this film is Keri Russel. And the only reason she lifts this movie up is her body. A movie cannot be driven by one gorgeous female. It needs good acting, good directing, and countless other things. This film is full of bad cliches and bad dialogue.On the other hand, I must admitt I did enjoy this film somewhat. It had a few bright points and Keri Russel sure helped. See it. Forget it. I give it a 5/10.
