TrashCan Reviews Summer Catch goes down as one of the greatest movies in American History. I think we can all agree on that one. This is a story of hard work, determination, love, and a dream come true in one. This young pitcher has all the tools to become one of the best players in MLB history and we all want him to succeed. What a great family this kid comes from, I am truly jealous.Big fan of his best friend, the catcher. AKA the guy that played shaggy in Scooby Doo. What a legend. Guy has all the right tools to be BFF material. He truly is a great friend to have. \Jessica Biel though...... WOW. WOW. WOW. I was really rooting for her and Freddie to make this work on and off the screen. This movie was so good I never wanted it to end! EVER! I wanted to continue this magical love story outside of the big screen and watch these two romantically carry on their Summer Catch for the rest of their lives.The acting in this movie was top notch, one of the best acting displays I have seen in my life. From the coach all the way down to Freddie's father, great acting. TrashCan Reviews recommends this to all, but I do recommend you buying it and not renting it. If you rent it, you wont ever want to give it back, its THAT GOOD!
CitizenCaine A few minutes into this movie, we see Freddie Prinze prancing through water sprinklers wearing Brittany Murphy's thong and we know what kind of movie this is going to be and the empty-headed audience it takes aim at. The slow motion scene of Jessica Biel's swim suit bottom confirms this. There are two cute kids, one poor and one rich, who are going to fall in love despite the usual complications of class distinctions, parental control, and confusion about what each other wants in life. The film is fairly predictable and boasts a strong supporting cast, which actually makes the film watchable. Brian Dennehy is Prinze's hard-nosed coach. Fred Ward is his working class dad, and Bruce Davison is Biel's controlling dad. Matthew Lillard provides much needed comic relief and Curt Gowdy is on hand as the press box announcer. John C. McGinley appears as a pro scout, and Beverly D'Angelo has a funny cameo as a sex-starved house mother hosting the Wilmer Valderrama character (in his film debut). Director Michael Tollin utilizes his beloved Philadelphia Phillies in a brief bit at the end. Former baseball players Hank Aaron and Dick Allen have cameos as pro scouts. Allen's appearance may be an inside joke, intentional, or ironic because he had a troubled career, or it may be simply because he's identified as a former Phillies player. Ken Griffey Jr. appears at the end. Innocuous teen fare. ** of 4 stars.
MonzaRacer First there is a fella on this section that said the movie was shot in Ohio and it wasn't because of weather constraints, the ball field was built and shot on in North Carolina, and some shots actually done in Chattam. I have several friend who live in Chattam and they loved the movie and actually understood why it could not be shot in Mass. I really enjoyed the whole movie and thought most of the music was very different but music shouldn't be about a number one hit in film to sell it and the sound track,BUT the music was very stirring in areas and I really had some musician friends who commented that the tracks were awesome for the movie and set the tone of the movie too. Jessica Biel was awesome and HOT and so was Brittney Murphy. I would have figured it to be a lot bigger at the box office cause I have only had 2 friends not like it but they only like sci fi and horror so go figure. I rate it 10 stars and hope they make a sequel.
balast Shallow characters, lame story, poor movie. Freddie Prinze, Jr. is the same pretty looking guy like he was in every movie he played in; his acting has little or no effect on final outcome. He's not bad actor, but with this script even Sean Penn wouldn't pull this movie out of the gutter. You might say: "Hey, it's an average 'romantic comedy' not Academy Award Winner!". That's right but it's not funny at all and romance is weak... Anyway, I must give this movie 2 out of 10 just because of Jessica Biel's corporal beauty (thank director for these scenes). P.S. Lucky for me, I saw it on TV for (almost) free and saved money for the ticket...
