Hot Summer

A rom-com that believes baseball and class tension can be equally dull. A Cape Cod pitcher with pro dreams bumps into a rich summer girl, and their families fume while the town holds its breath. It manages to make both love and sport feel like a minor league bus ride with extra clichés.
