What really can you say about a movie like this? I’m so glad that Freddie Prinze Jr. no longer makes movies? When are they going to stop casting Jessica Biel as well? Ok, so I really don’t have that big of a problem with Jessica Biel but I do think that she is too ridiculously skinny now that she is all “famous” and I used to like that she was the one that would make everybody be proud with her about her curvy body. That’s just another one who got lost to the Hollywood fame. Not that I am saying I would have all that much luck myself having to deal with the whole world talking about my weight. It gets pretty bad what people say nowadays. I really am just trying to stall with this right now…

So the movie was about a boy (yes boy, not man) who stays home for the summer so he can try out for the hometown minor league baseball team. Supposedly he is really good but you really don’t see it cause he I guess he gets the case of the nerves when he plays for the games that count. But then he hits his stride and starts doing really well. All the while he is dating this girl who is played by Biel and she is some kind of fancy shmancy too rich for him type of character so its all about the families hating families thing and “I’m not good enough for you” stupid crap that used to be the plots of a lot of romantic comedies back in the day. It really wasn’t anything new and interesting. It was predictable, lame and there wasn’t even any whip creamed naked girls in it (even though I am not a guy, I think everyone can agree a whip cream naked girl always fixes a bad movie).

I am so glad that romantic comedies (for the most part) are taking a new twist these days (I.E.: Ugly Truth, Forgetting Sarah Marshall). I really don’t know how many more of these on the Worst List I can watch. I can’t even say anything funny about this movie because it was so dull; it took away all my wittiness.
