Big chunks of plot seem to be missing, as if left on the editing-room floor so that director Mike Tollin, in his feature debut, can get to yet another inspiring speech.

This is the WB version of a baseball movie. Everyone is young, toned, sexually active and agonizes over their future.

Maybe the filmmakers figured that the audience for Summer Catch is too young to have seen Bull Durham.

Not even a cast of fresh-faced acting hotshots can give flavour to this bland and undistinguished teen sporting romance.

[An] awful light drama.

As the script works toward its big-game finale, it pauses now and then to rip off Bull Durham, to let Biel spout Successories-worthy words of encouragement, and to touch on subplots involving Prinze's familiar-faced teammates.

Because I'm a baseball fan, I tend to be an easy mark for baseball-themed movies, but something as badly focused and feebly scripted as Summer Catch just makes me wish for the Fall.

It's a baseball romance with precious little baseball and only the most insipid, by-the-numbers kind of romance.

Despite an enjoyable turn from Brittany Murphy, the clichéd plot (local poor boy pitches his way to the Major League) ensures that's the best this forgettable teen fodder can hope for.

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

The film is as predictable as the outcome of a New York Yankees-Tampa Bay Devil Rays game, but you can bet nobody will be standing up to do the wave.
