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

A series of love stories play out in Hong Kong and mainland China during an intense heat wave, including a potential couple becoming connected by a mistaken text, a newly-popular air conditioning repairman falling for a motorcyclist, and a factory worker demanding that her suitor stands in the heat for 100 days.

What are critics saying?
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.
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.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
Do they have date movies in China? Probably, and Hot Summer Days, an enjoyable concoction of loosely intertwined stories of love and obsession, is just right for that purpose.
Bubbles along with a jaunty but unoriginal blend of the sweet, tart, cute and weepy.
