Many a lovesick young man has threatened to camp out by a girl's front door, but one guy actually tries it in this alternately sweet and tasteless
romantic comedy.
Peter (
Josh Schaefer) is a good-natured but socially inept young man who is madly in love with
Erica (
Keri Russell), the sweet and devastatingly sexy girl next door.
Peter desperately wants
Erica as his girlfriend, even though she already has a boyfriend, the large and humorless
Nick (
Johnny Green). Eager to prove himself,
Peter takes up the advice of
Nonno (
Buck Kartalian), his batty grandfather, and literally camps out on her front lawn, willing to wait out the entire summer until she gives him a chance to prove that he can be the man of her dreams. Meanwhile,
Peter is frequently kept company by his buddy
Matt (
R.D. Robb), who has learned how to deal with his sexual tensions through the use of fresh fruit, while
Peter's dad (
Mark Taylor) is convinced that his son has gone nuts and won't allow him back in the house, even for a change of clothes. While it won the Audience Award at the
1997 Slamdance Film Festival,
Eight Days a Week didn't receive much commercial exposure until its release on video, after
Keri Russell had made a splash on the acclaimed TV series
Felicity.
