Summer Catch Audience Reviews

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Python Hyena Summer Catch (2001): Dir: Mike Tollin / Cast: Freddie Prinze Jr., Jessica Biel, Matthew Lillard, Fred Ward, Jason Gedrick: Stupid dreary teen comedy bent on corrupting young senses with sex scenes. The catch represents both baseball and Jessica Biel. Freddie Prinze Jr. plays an amateur baseball player who will romance Biel after he mows over a rose garden. His father is widowed, his brother is a bartender. His best friend is unable to cope with aluminum bats just as I am unable to cope with the entire running time of this film. This garbage is about as exciting as cleaning toilets. Mike Tollin does well directing the baseball footage while the rest looks as if he was half asleep, which would not surprise me given what the film is. Another horrible performance by Prinze Jr. with Biel featured for no other purpose than to rise bikini clad out of a swimming pool much to the delight of young hormones. We do not care about this romance nor do we care about anything else associated with the story. Matthew Lillard plays Prinze's frustrated best friend who may be even more frustrated when he realizes that this garbage will never be labeled a classic. Boring farce with sex scenes involving beer bottles between thighs. That is about the height of the creative energy within this film. Next time, instead of a rose garden, why not introduce this film to the lawn mower blades. Score: 1 / 10
matt rhoades I like this movie because i can relate to it and it is a baseball movie.. this is what all baseball players wish to do is to play in the cap code league in the summer after collage baseball season ends. so i like it cause it is a dream i and most baseball players can dream for and this movie explains what the cape is like. also it is somewhat of a romantic movie and the girl that the guy falls in love with is pretty smoking hot.. which is a plus while you are watching the movie. another reason why this movie is good is because it is funny at some points and you feel good for the guy when he is pitching. so this movie is a plus for me and fun to watch on summer nights
ilovetohateyou This isn't the worst movie ever but it has nothing going for it. It is weak as a baseball film and it is weak as a boy meets girl chick flick. The characters are stock, the acting is uninspired, the plot is predictable, and there is just nothing about this film that draws the viewer in. It passes the time. It fills a void. Others have probably said it better than I have above, though.I just want to point out that as any baseball fan worth his weight in pine tar knows any young man who throws left-handed and can reach 96mph on the gun is going to get repeated opportunities in professional baseball. Even an organization with the most pessimistic view of his prospects would wonder if they could turn him into a LOOGY.It's a small issue but the movie is full of things that make it crappy. This silly detail about his ability to throw hard is just the cherry on top of the sundae for me as a baseball fan.
jamesmccormack Enjoyable. Yes.Predictable. Yes.Nothing much here but a nice little movie about baseball. Yet another film that looks and sounds like it was supposed to be a made for TV movie. The movie's saving grace is "eye candy" Freddie who looks great in - and out - of uniform. Make this film a drinking game: down a shot every time the writers find another way to get Freddie naked, shirtless or running around in his underwear.Lots of minor characters with uninteresting story lines. The trailer makes this film seem like another teen sex romp but it really is more focused on baseball.
