Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Fans of Freddie Prinze Jr. will no doubt enjoy Summer Catch, which features Freddie running through sprinklers on a baseball diamond wearing nothing but an orange thong. Freddie plays Ryan, an aspiring pitcher at baseball camp. Ryan grew up in the New England town that hosts the camp, mowing lawns with his landscaping father, so he's torn between his local friends and his new baseball buddies. Meanwhile, he's being pursued by a rich and beautiful local girl with the odd name of Tenley (Jessica Biel), whose father doesn't approve of her cavorting with the lawn boy. Ryan's an incredibly talented pitcher--everyone agrees, especially his bartending brother who also wanted to play ball but lacked the gift--but he's haunted by fear of failure and the recent loss of his mother. The strong supporting actors (including Matthew Lillard, Brittany Murphy, Brian Dennehy, Fred Ward, and Bruce Davison) do their best, but the script doesn't help. --Bret Fetzer


Product Description

A rich girl whose family summers on Cape Cod has a romance with a local boy who hopes to become a major league baseball player.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh man, February 10, 2004
By A Customer
If anyone asks me what the worst movie I have ever seen is, I have never failed to mention this one. I didn't expect a classic, but i at least expected to be entertained, or at least to see some good acting. I got neither. The plot was stupid and so regurgitated that it made me shudder. The characters were never properly developed. Freddie sees Jessica Biel and talks to her once, and all of a sudden she's in love with him and encouraging him to persue his dreams and she's willing to disobey her father to see him. Uhm, what? Her lines were just cheesy and retarded. I would never recommend this movie to be seen. I would recommend buying it only so that a mass burning of all available copies can be arranged

1.0 out of 5 stars No Baseball!!!!, August 25, 2001
By "mob222" (Flagstaff, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for a good baseball movie. Don't see this movie.This movie is nothing but a bunch of sappy love scenes, one after another. So if you like a lot of romance and a very little bit of comedy then go to this movie but if you want baseball count this movie out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Summer Flop, July 16, 2002
By "thesenuttz" (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
I would rather catch a cold than watch Summer Catch a second time. Another movie about a guy who wants a girl who is out of his league....can you guess what happens at the end. Movie makers should be embarrassed by the lack of quality their products have these days. When we pay to see a movie, we are wanting something new that we haven't seen before. This movie just falls to the bottom of a list that includes a 1000 other movies just like it. Same story, just different characters. I highly do NOT recommend this to anyone who is not in love with Freddie Jr.
