Bewertung von Anya-fan
I did not plan to comment on this movie. In fact, I planned to stay as far as possible away from anything remotely concerning it. But after seeing comments praising it I feel I must say something.
This film is like three different films. A mushy teen romance that not even I (a teenager) could fall for, a sports film, and a porn film - none of which seem to be connected in anyway. My friends and I went to see this because a friend of mine loves Freddie Prinze, Jr. She spent days apologizing profusely for it.
We can't talk about plot holes because there is not a plot to find holes in. Perhaps a more feasible exercise would be to try and find the places where it made sense. The dialogue was corny and crude by turns - jerking back and forth between the two with no apparent attention whatsoever. Trying to summarize the story now in my head, I can't do it.
I am not a big fan of sports, but I do like sports movies. I love Tin Cup and it doesn't even take much inducement for me to watch The Mighty Ducks once in awhile. But in Summer Catch, even to someone who understands the game (what was it again? baseball?) would be entirely lost.
The sex scenes, inserted at random moments are so perverse that I will not go into detail. Just thinking about them now makes my skin crawl. Of course the thought of Freddie Prinze, Jr. in a thong doesn't help matters much. (If you're a teenaged girl you might think differently - trust me, from one teenaged girl to another it's not a pleasant sight.)
The theater was practically empty except for my group of friends and another group of people whom we knew who happen to be actresses (I go to an arts school). We were all shell-shocked for weeks afterward, and any time we come even close to the subject of bad movies, this one is always first to come up. After leaving the theater, we told everyone we could find, "We just saw the WORST movie ever made."
One good thing - I laughed more in it than I've ever laughed in anything. The writing, acting, directing, editing, even the costumes were bad. Amidst my revulsion, I simply couldn't help laughing, it was so horrible.
Any respect that I may have had for anyone involved in this movie has gone down 100%.
I gave it 1/10 but it deserves less. And by the way, my friend doesn't love Freddie Prinze, Jr. anymore.

I saw this movie and thought it was hilarious.
Everyone else who reviews this seems to think of it as a failed attempt at a good musical. I see it the other way around. I think it was meant to poke fun a bit at old musicals - all the cliches from musicals appear hear in a very funny way. Edward Norton dancing in the jewelry store is one of the funniest bits.
The cast is especially star-studded, even for Allen. Alan Alda, Goldie Hawn, Drew Barrymore, Edward Norton, Julia Roberts, and even Natalie Portman before her Star Wars: Episode 1 fame.
Take this the way many Woody Allen movies are meant to be taken (see Love and Death) - as spoofs of a particular genre. As a spoof of musicals, I think he carries it off very well.

Being a teenager, I'm supposed to like teen romances, right? Unfortunately, they are often done so badly that it's hard to enjoy them.
One of the best exceptions is Say Anything. It hardly deserves the term "teen romance" because it goes far beyond that. You fall in love with the characters and really want to see them succeed, these are true people who you actually like. This includes not only Lloyd and Diane (played wonderfully by John Cusack and Ione Skye) but also Diane's father (John Mahoney from Frazier) and Lloyd's sister (played by real-life sister Joan Cusack). All of the other characters are real too - unstereotyped and un-cliched, even the ones who appear for only a few seconds give you a glimpse into their lives and leave you wishing for more.
And it's not just a teen film, either, there's a lot of depth. Diane's father is having problems with the IRS, and the part where he goes into a store to buy luggage for her upcoming trip to England and all of his credit cards are refused is heartbreaking. It is also a poignant message about what he's done with his life.
It's a great film, certainly deserving my 10/10.
