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

    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.

    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.

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

    Bubbles along with a jaunty but unoriginal blend of the sweet, tart, cute and weepy.

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