Parents' Guide to Six Days Seven Nights

Parents need to know that Six Days Seven Nights is an action-adventure comedy, about an odd couple stranded on a Pacific Island, with non-graphic violence, sexual references, and strong language. Both New York journalist Robin (Anne Heche) and pilot Quinn (Harrison Ford) have the ability to apply themselves and work as a team, which gives the movie some positive messages. However, both characters have their flaws and in Quinn's case, the movie does portray some outdated and sexist attitudes toward women. Violence is occasional but never graphic. There is some gunplay and characters struck with improvised weapons such as planks of wood. But the injuries they sustain are never gory although there is some bloodshed. Sex is alluded to on a number of occasions. There is flirtation, kissing, and references to intercourse and foreplay. But these are all in keeping with the movie's comedic tone. There is also some male gaze of women's bodies and topless nudity, although this is not explicit. Swearing is infrequent, with "f--k" only used in cases of extreme annoyance or peril. Consumerism is present in Robin's world in particular. Quinn criticizes this and encourages her to live a life where money does not matter as much to her. There is drinking and prescription drug use in a couple of scenes resulting, in intoxication -- played for comedic effect.
