An action-packed slog

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

When I think tennis and funny, I always think of that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums where Luke Wilson's Richie gives up for good. Maybe writer of 7 Days In Hell Murray Miller enjoyed that scene too and though it would be great to have a mini-mockumentary about what happened next. Just long enough to be considered a movie, 7 Days In Hell is a densely packed film, enough material and running gags to make a feature if they wanted to. But that might spoil its delights. If you wanted 80 or 90 minutes, you'd have to add too many detracting subplots to develop its characters. Instead, we get them developed at a distance, and instead of subplots, we get outlandish tangents, such as exploring the life of an innovative courtroom artist. Fortunately there's more hits than misses, but it's a low-to-mid standard of absurdist humour. Nothing out of place for Andy Samberg, but surely for Game of Thrones regular Kit Harrington, who fits in just fine (or indubitably). With a mix of sports personalities and comic, Will Forte and Michael Sheen being the brightest sparks, HBO gives them the freedom to be as crass as they like, and it certainly resulted in many spit-take moments if you happen to be drinking anything. I unwisely did so. It may be more of a long sketch than a movie, but Jake Szymanski's keen sense of how documentaries are formulated provide many delights to match the high laugh-counter. Maybe this will become a trend for more films like this. It's not top tier but I'd be watching.7/10

The Idea of the movie is so fresh and genuine the plot is extended and unpredictable .. and the script is funny , In some parts it looked a bit loose with only a couple of shaggy scenes like having sex on the court or in the Swedish prison but it's an HBO thing so we shall be used to that by now but As a whole it suits a TV movie form on cable and i do think they mad it perfectly on the time matter speaking. back to the writer Murray Miller he is not that guy with much of achievements apart from 3 Primetime Emmy nominations on Girls and American Dad :D yet i do believe he made a home run by this movie. Honestly, The ending was Fair but not satisfying it was like lets make a balanced final scene between two stars "Andy Samberg and Kit Harington".As for the cast, they were all amazing.. bringing a real tennis starts like Serena Williams, Chris Evert and McEnroe was nice touch to make the movie look more like a documentary style .. the others like Will Forte, Fred Armisen and of course that leading stars Andy Samberg and Kit Harington were really funny.So overall, the movie really works, and yeah the huge campaign i'v seen advertising the movie worked magic ... so it was nice watching some new style of comedy with such a cool cast.

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.

7 days in hell is a fictional documentary about the longest tennis match in history. It is directed by Jake Szymanski and stars Kit Harington and Andy Samberg. First off, seeing the trailer I could this could be very funny or just very stupid. I'm glad to said that it turned out to be very funny. The acting is great, Kit Harington who is on Game Of Thrones, I didn't know if he could be funny and he played his part perfect. Andy Samberg was also great. He always plays a funny part and he's does a great job most of the time. Overall 7 days in hell was a funny fake documentary about tennis with great acting and has lots of great cameos. Defiantly worth checking out.
