My Comments: It was a wonderful Saturday for ME & Kimmy once again as we visited TGV Kepong once again to catch a glimpse of a movie before we fly over to Bali for our exclusive holidays. We watch this movie at 9.20pm and the cinema is packed with audiences as well. It was an overall comedy cum romance movie and it was something special that I never watch before. Featuring many stars such as Jacky Cheung, Rene Liu, Nicholas Tse, Vivian Hsu, Daniel Wu and many more, this movie promises the audience somethinf special about the love during the extremely hot summer days. The temperature in this movie rises up to 42 Degress which makes everyone in this movie sweat and their love story begins there. There were 5 love scenerios which every one of the storyline is very meaningful indeed and you can have some laughs out of those scenes. The combination of Hong Kong, Taiwan and China artists proved to be the right track for Director Tony Chan & Wing Shya which I would say something new feel in this movie. Couples should go for this one as it will be very touching as well. I can accept it and label this movie as fresh and never seen before. Perhaps, a good recommendation for you too. MY RATING: 4.5 /5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
