To me, this movie is perfection.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

"They could theoretically play forever, which is scary for somebody like me who doesn't much like watching tennis."Jake Szymanski's 7 Days in Hell is a spoof of sport documentary films similar in style to the 30 For 30 ESPN series. This hilarious 40 minute short written by Murray Miller, stars Andy Samberg and Kit Harington as two famous tennis players who made history when their Wimbledon match lasted seven days. Since the film is made in documentary style format we get fun interviews from the likes of Serena Williams, David Copperfield, and John McEnroe among others. Samberg plays Aaron Williams, a wild athlete who was raised by the Williams' family (A racial reversal of The Blind Side as Serena jokingly claims). Despite his wild behavior and crazy hair he quickly climbed the tennis ranks. However when he was about to reach the pinnacle of his career, a crazy incident during a final match forced him to abandon tennis and retrieve to Sweden. During his absence, a new star arose: Charles Poole (Kit Harrington), a well mannered mama's boy British player who is not too bright. During an interview he claimed to be the best tennis player of all time and that is what sparked Williams to want to return. Upon his comeback, the two face off in court during the first round of Wimbledon and what ensues is simply hilarious. Sport fans everywhere will have a great time with this short spoof documentary full of silly and witty humor. It is absurd and overly raunchy so the humor might not work for everyone. We all know what Samberg is capable of, so Harrington is the one who truly surprises here with his comedy. Williams reminded me of a young Agassi and of course they went over the top with this character. The side-stories that at times seem to be getting off track work to the film's advantage. They include animated scenes in Swedish prisons and a short bio of a famous jury cartoonist. The producers knew exactly how far they could go with this premise and at 40 minutes they seemed to reach the perfect running time before the joke ran out of steam. It would've been a mistake to make this a full length feature film. http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/

I must assume that this started as an idea for a skit, but they kept adding on jokes until they realized that they couldn't go any further. At a bit over 40 minutes, this skit is just about as long as it could be. And they cram those 40 minutes full of gags. And all the people involved seems like they are having a great time.I laughed at many parts of this, as crazy/over-the-top comedy often can be quite funny, especially delivered in a dead pan way. I wish they would have gone further in getting the actor's to play it straight. Kit Harington does a great job, not acknowledging (with his acting) that he is playing in a comedy. Many of the other people appearing in the movie are almost winking at the camera.The scenes in Swedish are quite fun, as the Swedish actor actually says his lines in Swedish, while Samberg channels the Swedish chef from the muppets show.

This is so bad, but yet so good. I had a real blast watching this and wasn't bored for one second. The cast, cameos and the weird style just made this really interesting and worth watching. It does however feel very cheap and completely silly.If this was a full 2 hour movie i would probably have gotten tired of this stupid, over the top style comedy but in 40 minutes it works great.I would completely understand if people rate this low though because of how ridiculous, cheap, rushed, low budget and poorly made it is or whatever you wanna call it. But i for one loved it.

Wow! HBO has put out some fantastic programming over the years. From watching the trailer, this had the potential to be supremely funny. It was honestly the worst thing I've every watched. 4 funny moments adding up to about 2 minutes sewn together over pure garbage. I truly hope the person who wrote this never works again. Anyone who enjoyed watching this is likely to be living in a trailer, on drugs, an alcoholic, not college educated, or likely any combination of the above. The only reason I'm taking the time to post this is to perhaps save you all from getting really angry. ;) While I can't really remember the funny lines that clearly since there were so few, one that was remotely funny was the doing lines of cocaine on the tennis court lines. My 7 year old nephew could write a far more entertaining/funny version of this concept. This is a supremely poor man's Blades of Glory. Supremely poor.
