Top Critics Reviews

Unlike the similarly multi-strand Valentine's Day, Hot Summer Days has heart, however overstated most of its action.

Sure, the film sometimes gets too syrupy - hey, it's a date movie - but the way this tale finally ties into one of the others is sublime.

Hot Summer Days makes a lukewarm case for global warming. It's a better argument that the production of mindless fluff is not just limited to Hollywood

rotten:
It's less a film than one long advertisement for itself -- and for the fact that mindless entertainment truly knows no borders.

While the film is slight, predictable, and familiar, it's great popcorn fare.
