Summer Holiday (2000)
Reviewed by: MilesC on 2000-12-31
Summary: Painless, but empty.
Like "Okinawa Rendezvous," this one relies mainly on the fame of its stars and the attractive foreign location to get carry it. While almost as blatantly content-free as OR, though, it is a bit faster paced and more entertaining. Very little of note other than Sammi Cheng being a sweetheart, but I didn't get fidgety until past the hour mark, whereas Okinawa set a new record by making me impatient during its opening scene. All in all... It must've pushed the right buttons with somebody to make it into the year's top ten box office, but the best I can say for it is that the cast and setting are attractive and the pace isn't too plodding.
