Comes across as artificial.

An uninspired, standard-issue mimeo whose only distinguishing feature is a reversal in its casting.

The acting tends toward the cartoonish (not in a good way), and the story is built on a series of illogical motivations.

Indeed, the best that can be said about The Majestic is that it may boost Capra's reputation by virtue of comparison. Apparently, it's not so easy to weave that kind of magic.

Given how uninvolving Summer Catch is, the truly remarkable pitching here was not so much on the mound as in the executive office where someone convinced Warner Bros. to green-light this turkey, which should have been called Good Will Hitting.

It would be heartening if the adolescent girls of America turned their backs on this pandering piece of kitsch, but that would be hoping too much.

Nobody involved will want to make this banal "comedy" a highlight of their résumé, not if they have any sense.

As worthless a piece of garbage as we've seen this year.
