Some comedies don’t try to reinvent anything, and others don’t even try to be funny. I Hate Summer falls squarely into the second category. It’s got all the usual ingredients: familiar faces, a lighthearted tone, a sunny holiday vibe… but it never quite takes off. It doesn’t entertain, it doesn’t move you, and it certainly doesn’t deliver any genuine laughs. The script leans on tired clichés and situations that are as absurd as they are unfunny. It seems more interested in lining up popular comedians than giving them anything worthwhile to do. The plot stumbles from one forced subplot to another, and it often feels like you’re watching an overlong sketch. It might work as background noise if you’re not expecting much, but if you’re after wit or even just a little spark, best to look elsewhere. Neither the cast nor the occasional well-meaning moment can save this comedy from becoming just another forgettable title.

*Odio el Verano* is a Spanish comedy that turns a simple summer vacation into a hilarious collision of personalities and cultures. When three mismatched families are forced to share the same holiday home due to a booking error, chaos ensues. Packed with clever humor and sharp dialogue, the film delivers laugh-out-loud moments alongside poignant reflections on relationships, social divides, and the meaning of community. Its sunlit setting contrasts beautifully with the characters’ heated disputes, creating a dynamic that’s as charming as it is chaotic. *Odio el Verano* is not just a lighthearted romp—it’s a heartfelt exploration of the ties that bind us, even in the most unexpected circumstances.
