Dove Review

Poor, young stud tries out for exclusive baseball team – meets rich, young girl – falls in love – finds out baseball is less important than their relationship. If this sounds familiar, it is because this “formula” date flick uses a tired old storyline and merely substitutes new characters. The romance between Ryan Dunne, (Freddie Prinz Jr.) and Tenley Parrish (Jessica Biel) is not much more credible than Dunne’s fastball (looks like 50 mph but is supposedly clocked at 95.) Prinze’s coming of age character with the boyish grin looks all too familiar to his previous movie roles in “Down to You,” and “She’s all that.” Sidekick, Matthew Lillard who plays the team’s “surfer-dude” catcher is supposed to be the film’s comic relief, but the humor is based on crude sex and drunkeness. As for “7th Heaven” bad girl Biel, she woos the camera with ease. It’s too bad her film debute had to be in a story loaded with crudities and hyper-sexual innuendo.
