: Summer Catch

Not bad, though extremely predictable. It’s about a talented baseball player who’s getting a shot at making the big leagues, but can’t keep his head together long enough to pitch a consistent game. Then he falls in love with the wrong girl (she’s rich, he mows her lawn) and we’ve got class warfare. Yes, of course everything ends up wonderfully: he goes to the Majors, she loves him, etc. etc. Still, it’s not as bad as you might expect from the recycled plot. The characters are appealing, and it’s harmless fun.
