Summer Holiday (2000)
Reviewed by: Yellow Hammer on 2001-05-10
Summer Koo (Sammi Cheng) works as an investment person at an investment bank. In a 12-hour period Summer manages to lose her boyfriend George, her company's top account, and her job. She then discovers that a real estate development company is interested in buying out an investment she made on a whim on a tropical island property located in Malaysia, for basically 25 times what she paid for it. However, she's only a 50% owner of the property, the other half is owned by an indigenous resident there, More More Tea (Richie Yen), pronounced Ma-Ma-Cha in Cantonese. The rest of the movie is then basically reminiscent of a 50's U.S. beach movie, lots of women, sand, and song. Kind of a fun movie, but if you're looking for any depth or brain food to this movie, better look elsewhere.
