ada the leading man is my tpye

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

SnoopyStyle Peter is utterly infatuated with his longtime neighbor Erica (Keri Russell). With 3 months left before she goes to an east coast college, his grandfather Nonno urges him to go for it. He decides to stay on her front lawn. She tells him that she wants to be "just friends". His best friend Matt is obsessed with self-pleasure even with a watermelon. She is going out with the bully Nick. Peter waits day after day on her front lawn as he observes the neighborhood.This reminds me a little of American Pie with masturbating inside food. It also tries to be a sweet coming-of-age movie. The two aspects do clash. On the one hand, Keri Russell has a wet T-shirt scene and Peter pontificates about her breast. On the other hand, it's a sugary sweet puppy love story. The old lady's revelations are really compelling but Michael Davis sometimes goes down a cheesy kiddie movie road. Joshua Schaefer is good as the lead but his narrations should be trim down. Finally, R.D. Robb is not funny enough to be the comedic best friend.

TxMike When the 'Felicity' TV series was playing back in the late 1990s my wife and I were fans, at least for a couple of years. Keri Russell is so cute, and several other good actors have gone on to TV and movie careers. This movie, 'Eight Days a Week', borrowed from the Beatles song of the same name, was apparently filmed right before Russell became a hot item. Lately she has appeared in several movies, in supporting roles.Here Russell is Erica, just out of high school, and planning to go off to college in the fall. Her neighbor is Peter (Josh Schaefer, who has dropped out of sight) who has always had a romantic crush on Erica since they were kids, but skinny and geeky looking, was no match for her jock boyfriend. But gramps convinces Peter that if you really want something, especially in love, you have to go out ad get it. Inspired by a story of his ancestor, Peter decides to live in Erica's front yard 24/7 until she realizes that she loves him also. R.D. Robb as the over-sexed Matt provides comic relief, but also makes this movie unsuitable for most teenagers. There is graphic discussion of anatomy and sex acts. The movie deserves its 'R' rating. However, it is a cute story of a boy trying to get the girl of his dreams.

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 :)

Aaron1375 This movie is about a guy that is in love with a gal and decides to impress her by standing outside her house until she decides to give him a chance. This leads to him observing different aspects of the neighborhood and it does lead to him and the girl talking more. His friend, unfortunately, ends up feeling neglected because this is their last summer together and his friend is just standing on a lawn. He even watches kids to pass the time. For the most part this movie was pretty funny and there were some interesting characters to watch. The main problem I had with the movie was the ending. Spoilers ahead***The ending to me just played out a bit to happily. In the end it wasn't very realistic as the girl nine times out of ten usually never goes with the guy that really cares about them, but rather the dumb jerk, especially at that age...so a better ending might be the guy finding a gal that was more in tune with him.
