"Summer Holiday" is a movie that you might found boring from start to end. Depends on what kind of genre-likes you have, you may have different opinion here.
Although this movie was put as "Romantic Comedy" for genre. I found it would best fit in "Romantic" category itself. To tell you more, no good laughs here, only plain romantic moments. The setting of this movie at a Malaysia beach is beautiful and there are many sences in the movie revealed the great setting it had. However, even with the help of the setting, the director still can't deliver a good funny romance here.
As to the plot, the first half of the movie is plain simple and dull. The second part is better than the first half but only because there are few truths revealed.
As to the performances, the cast besides Sammi Cheng and Richie Ren, other actors/actresses were all new faces to me/you. Sammi's performance here was the same as her previous movie "Needing You", which at her best acting, though I found "Needing You" more enjoyable. As to Richie, he also had a good role here and at his acting standard, though I found his acting in "Fly me to Polaris" more interesting. All other supporting actors were new faces to me/you so there are not much to talk about but they were okay in the movie.
To conclude, this movie can be said "Boring" unless someone in the cast you might be interested to watch, otherwise, I am not so recommanded. Jingle, the director could make this one more interesting due to a great setting and good actings here but he failed to do so.
