This summer's romantic blockbuster "Holiday on the Dance Floor" has been released in the UK, achieving impressive box office results and receiving rave reviews from the media. The authoritative British magazine Glamour.com said: "This movie is like 【Pitch Perfect】 meets 【Mamma Mia】..." The distributor has also unveiled 6 new posters today, one of which features the Italian hunk Giulio Berruti showing off his amazing physique, with his perfect V-line and six-pack abs drawing tons of attention. The main tagline on the poster—"When you meet your destined dreamboat, you absolutely can't let him 'Let It Go'!"—has sparked heated online discussions with its playful nod to "Let It Go."

Directed by the filmmaker behind the "StreetDance" series, this summer's most joyful and romantic blockbuster "Holiday on the Dance Floor" recently made waves with a pop music diva Leona Lewis dressed as Whitney Houston, creating a super hot topic. The film has received excellent box office and critical reception in the UK and the Netherlands over the weekend. Keen-eyed audiences also noticed that every character, from the leads to the supporting roles, is quite notable, boasting Hollywood star-like faces. These include the Italian heartthrob Giulio Berruti, who bears a striking resemblance to Josh Duhamel, who played the Special Forces captain in the first "Transformers" movie; the sassy and talented singer-dancer Annabelle Wallis, who looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones from "Chicago"; and even the two "plus-sized" supporting actors, Danny Kirrane and Katy Brand, who have been praised for resembling the late Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman and the black comedy actress Queen Latifah from "Taxi." Hearing these comparisons, the director joked that the audience has great taste and also self-deprecatingly remarked that casting so many big names almost broke the budget.

"Holiday on the Dance Floor" tells the story of Marti, who has just ended a messy relationship. Exhausted, she decides to impulsively marry a gorgeous hunk, Ralph, who suddenly enters her life. Marti even invites her sister Taylor to Italy to attend her wedding. But unexpectedly, Marti’s fiancé turns out to be someone Taylor had a one-night stand with during her trip to Italy years ago. Unaware of this past, Marti tries hard to help Ralph and Taylor get to know each other better, leading to more and more alone time together—and they discover how well they click. Soon, the sister becomes the rival, and the future brother-in-law becomes the husband. In this dreamy, blue-sea-and-sky Italian wedding, who will end up as the bride? And who is the other’s true destiny?

To create a joyful and romantic atmosphere, the director not only filmed on location in Italy but also staged multiple dance scenes involving 500 people. The casting process was also meticulously planned. Director Max Giwa revealed that during casting, the team had approached Kylie Minogue and Samantha Barks for roles. Later, they discovered so many star lookalikes that the director commented, "We thought it would be crazy to gather all these stars in one movie, so audiences are definitely in for a lot of surprises."
