Eight Days a Week is a comedy film written and directed by Michael Davis. The title is taken from the Beatles song of the same name. The film features Dishwalla's 1996 hit " Counting Blue Cars".
Peter (Joshua Schaefer) is infatuated with his childhood friend and next-door neighbor Erica ( Keri Russell). Based on advice from his grandfather, Peter decides to camp on Erica's lawn until she realizes that she loves him. During his summer-long wait, he frequently comments on their neighborhood.
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 22% base on reviews from 9 critics. [1]
Emanuel Levy wrote: "A highlight of 1997 Slamdance Film Fest, this raunchy romantic comedy has a nice premise—a Romeo who won't take no as an answer--but no narrative or plot to speak of, though two leads are charming and Keri Russell shows potential to become a star." He gave it a grade C. [2]
David Cornelius of DVDTalk.com called it "Clumsy but delightful" and gave it 3 out of 5. [3]
