I love baseball, and I love Jessica Biel. This movie has both of those things, but it's still fucking terrible.
While Freddie Prinze Jr. is certainly an affable fellow, easy on the eyes and a decent actor, there's not much going on with this movie that we haven't seen before.

Jessica Biel is as dull as always and the rest of what is actually a good cast is largely wasted. Brittany Murphy as the annoying tramp was also way too over the top!
Watched this the other night with a girl that said I'd love it because I love baseball. Won't be seeing her again. I don't even know where to begin explaining why this is a complete waste of time. Anything starring Freddie Prinze Jr. should give that... (read more) Watched this the other night with a girl that said I'd love it because I love baseball. Won't be seeing her again. I don't even know where to begin explaining why this is a complete waste of time. Anything starring Freddie Prinze Jr. should give that away though. 1/2 a star because Brittany Murphy is my dream girl.
Une comedie qui ne vole pas tres haut, mais qui contient quand meme quelques bons moments. Un peu trop axe sur les choses sexuelles a mon gout. Aurait pu etre bien meilleure.
As one needs only to surf the web to check out Jessica Biel, it's fair to say this film serves absolutely no purpose.
not a fan, the romance was so blah that I was focusing on Baseball! but i do love Freddie and I loved the guy that liked big girls, he was hilarious, that was the only part of the movie I actually liked.
cute story about a local kid playing in the cape cod league...having a dream
A cute little leftover from when Freddie Prinze Jr. was supposed to be the next big Rom-Com guy. Fun and forgettable with the exception of a great 'fat girl' appreciation speech from Blucas.
I like Jessica Biel and Freddie Prince - they had good chemistry and nothing like summer love and baseball!!!
Critic Reviews
Stars Freddie Prinze Jr. (strike one), features more male virgins trying to lose it (strike two) and disses the legendary baseball league in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, by filming this mess in North Carolina (strike three).full review
Summer Catch is the equivalent of a full-course meal with no calories. It is a mirage of a movie, 100 minutes of nothing.full review
Long on clichéd plotting and short on exciting ball playing.full review
