Critic Reviews

Kevin Baxter

It's no surprise, and it's trite, but sometimes fun -- and not magic -- is more than enough. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Haphazard mix of boisterously crude comedy, romantic entanglements, class-conscious clashes and intensely competitive hardball. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

A lifelong baseball enthusiast, director and co-producer Mike Tollin -- persuaded many real-life baseball figures to make cameo appearances. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Prinze, Lillard, and Biel are all pleasant enough to look at, but the film's Romeo and Juliet tropes are shopworn by now, and the movie gives us nothing else. Read full review

Jami Bernard

It's a movie that should have been called on account of boredom. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Summer Catch is the sludge at the bottom of the barrel. Read full review

Chris Hewitt

Apparently, you can lead a Prinze to a movie, but you can't make him act. Read full review

Just some rom-com fluff, mixed in with a little sports action and societal class warfare.

I give it a 4 because of Biel's trunk. Whats the deal with the 5 rating you say? The extra one is reserved for the finger I gave the director during the closing credits for wasting money, the actors time, and ultimately a hour and a half of my life. The climax only lasted for 5 seconds I give it a 4 because of Biel's trunk. Whats the deal with the 5 rating you say?
