Synopsis:
A rich girl whose family summers on Cape Cod has a romance with a local poor boy who hopes to become a major league baseball player. 

Review:
Cape Cod in summer. Baseball. Romance. Everything America loves. Too bad I'm not American. Let me be forward, the only reason I've ever seen this film was because I'm a sucker for baseball movies... no matter how chick flicky. The baseball in the movie is uhh... limited at best. Other than the limited amount of pitching & the rare home run they show. So right there, I had lost all interest. However you do get a few sexy scene's of Jessica Biel in a swimming pool. The first time in a bikini, the second time in a white t-shirt & her undies. Its your typical young adult, drinking, sex, fighting, jokes summer romp but with the horribleness of Matthew Lillard. The man famous for playing Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies... Need I say more? Oh also Fez from That 70's Show is in it.... I know not another selling point. I can understand how this is a good chick flick, but from a normal person perspective it sucks. I think Jessica Biel is hot, but a terrible actress. Freddie Prince Jr, despite being a former member of the WWE creative team isn't much better. I am a fan of Fred Ward though, despite his minor role & Brian Dennehy was also enjoyable.

S.P.R.: C/32
Acting: 7/10
Plot: 7/10
Cinematography: 5/10
Intrigue: 6/10
Extra: 7/10
