"7 Days in Hell" tells a simple story but overloads it with ridiculous and varied humor and a stellar cast
and I say "overloads it" in a great, indulgent sort of way, not in a gluttonous or bad way.
Mockumentaries are a fun product to take in but can easily be screwed up. There's a balance of making them look real but, at the same time, keeping them fantastic enough that they can't be real. "7 Days in Hell" balances this perfectly as the story and the two main characters are very eccentric and over-the-top but the way the film shows the story and progresses the plot looks like a legit documentary. This blend makes a funny premise work that much better and when you add in a host of varied and absurd humor and great comedic actors, you have a stew that is very filling and very satisfying with its comedy. This comedy isn't for everyone but for the ones it is for, they could just love it.
