Editorial Review:
Fans of Freddie Prinze Jr. will no doubt enjoy Summer Catch, which features Freddie running through sprinklers on a baseball diamond wearing nothing but an orange thong. Freddie plays Ryan, an aspiring pitcher at baseball camp. Ryan grew up in the New England town that hosts the camp, mowing lawns with his landscaping father, so he's torn between his local friends and his new baseball buddies. Meanwhile, he's being pursued by a rich and beautiful local girl with the odd name of Tenley (Jessica Biel), whose father doesn't approve of her cavorting with the lawn boy. Ryan's an incredibly talented pitcher--everyone agrees, especially his bartending brother who also wanted to play ball but lacked the gift--but he's haunted by fear of failure and the recent loss of his mother. The strong supporting actors (including Matthew Lillard, Brittany Murphy, Brian Dennehy, Fred Ward, and Bruce Davison) do their best, but the script doesn't help. --Bret Fetzer
A rich girl whose family summers on Cape Cod has a romance with a local boy who hopes to become a major league baseball player.

Rating:  - Good Romantic Comedy, Poor Baseball Movie
This is the story of Ryan Dunne (Freddy Prinze Jr.) and Tenley Parrish (Jessica Biel), and their summer together in Massachusetts. Dunne is a poor, moody baseball player playing in the local Cape Cod League, while Parrish is the daughter of wealthy parents. Despite the odds, they fall in love (surprise, surprise). It has the potential to be the greatest baseball movie since the Rookie, but that possibility fades away after the first twenty minutes. Despite being labeled a baseball movie, the ... Read More
Rating:  - More of Jessica Biel, please...
Summer Catch brings to the screen the story of a hard working young man who takes part in a summer baseball tournament as a pitcher, hoping to make it to the major league. In order to make it big though, he needs to watch out for his worst enemy... himself.
Freddie Prinze Jr., Jessica Biel (who is GORGEOUS!), Matthew Lillard, Beverly D'Angelo (who is HOT!), Fred Ward, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
The setting, the plot, the music (!) and the dialogues ... Read More
Rating: - For fans of Freddie/Jessica, not baseball.
I normally wouldn't bother with a movie like this, but bought it for a buck in the midst of a Jessica Biel phase. It actually exceeded my expectations, though that's not saying alot. My main point is that it's not much of a baseball movie, but it's excellent for Jessica Biel viewing. Any film that has her swimming in panties I'd have to recommend to her fans.
Rating:  - Wow...shockingly bad movie
I watched this movie and I don't review things very often but felt a need to save others from wasting two hours of their life watching this movie. This is one of the worst movies I have seen...painful...absolutely painful. Writing, acting, Directing all are some of the worst I have seen in a wide release movie.
Rating:  - Strikes Out
Decent bubble-gum flick, but probably the worst baseball movie ever made. If there were a category for most clichés ever compressed into one film, "Summer Catch" would win it. Don't waste your time.
