Critic Reviews

  • Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

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

  • Neil Genzlinger, New York Times

    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.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    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

  • Eric Hynes, Time Out New York

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

  • Ernest Hardy, Village Voice

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