It's no surprise, and it's trite, but sometimes fun -- and not magic -- is more than enough.
Under Michael Tollin's direction, Prinze does well in what is surely the most complex character he has played on the screen.
Neither drama nor comedy, Summer Catch is a long, slow lob of a movie that never crosses the plate.
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.
A trite, bantamweight "Bull Durham," hasn't a single line, gibe, gesture or twist that hasn't already been chewed up and spat out in many a movie baseball dugout.
A mound of standard-issue parent-child conflicts and enough self-help cliches to drive Polonius to the aquavit barrel at Elsinore.
The equivalent of a full-course meal with no calories. It is a mirage of a movie, 100 minutes of nothing.
