[EX Q]: it is easy to label something sentimental or tear jerking when one has not experienced the heartache of losing a child ? whether that may be in life or in death .
after having said that , i will also say that this movie does all of the above very well .
one gets that choking sensation in the throat ( because of grief ) when one brother forgives another for a costly mistake , or when a husband hugs his wife after a long estrangement .
there is no ocean , no drownings
and it does not conjure up memories of yet another ?
ordinary people ' .
in fact the only thing remotely connected to the ocean is probably tap water and the toilet flushing ( not that this literally happened in the movie ) .
so what are the lessons learnt :
1 . do n't take your children to class reunions .
2 . do n't leave them alone in the lobby , not even for a second .
michelle pfeiffer once again plays the role of a highly - strung wife and mother , a trend that started with ? a thousand acres ' and ?
one fine day ' .
my comment is that she is exceptionally fine strung in this movie , so much so that when she has a nervous break down , the veins on her temples bulge impressively .
whoopi golberg also puts in an understated performance , playing a lesbian cop , with a name that makes one want to reach for a lollipop .
lastly , who are the ideal companions for this sort of movie ?
my grandmother comes to mind .

[EX Q]: a number of critics have decided that it 's open season on freddie prize jr . , slamming the young actor as an utterly talentless pretty boy on career cruise control in sound - alike , disposable teen fluff like " head over heels , " " boys and girls , " " down to you " and " she 's all that . " while the prinze oeuvre is hard to defend , his talent is not .
i first saw him in the independent dark comedy " the house of yes , " where he gave a subtle , impressive performance as the younger brother in one of america 's freakiest families .
prinze has the acting chops ; he just needs to take a few supporting roles in some grown - up movies to show the non - believers that he has what it takes .
" summer catch " certainly wo n't help his case .
inoffensive , but utterly generic ,
the baseball - related romantic comedy does little more than kill time .
the story deals with the love affair between tenley ( jessica biel ) , a wealthy cape cod girl and ryan ( prinze ) , a local boy from a working class family who dreams of becoming a big - time baseball star .
ryan 's preoccupation with his new honey - bunny drives her elitist father ( bruce davison ) crazy and endangers his position as pitcher with a cape cod summer league team .
it 's a wonder the kid has any time to pitch , as his time is occupied with making out with tenley , fighting with her dad ,
bonding with his own dad ( fred ward , who deserves better than this ) , fighting with his brother ( jason gedrick ) and carousing at a neighborhood bar with his teammates .
the filmmakers desperately want to make a quirky , character - heavy baseball movie like " bull durham , " but have n't got a clue how to get there . and
so they glide from one clich ?
to the next for 108 minutes .
the only bit of originality comes from marc blucas in a minor role as a center - fielder from texas .
in an early barroom scene , blucas , best known as demon - fighting riley finn from " buffy the vampire slayer , " hears a young woman compliment a guy on his ass , then turns to teammate matthew lillard and states , " he does have a nice ass .
a bubble butt .
"
when lillard gives him an " are you insane ?
" look , blucas calmly says , " it 's nothing sexual , " then goes on to evaluate the hind - ends of some other players , including lillard 's .
speaking of asses , prinze does not bare his in the movie .
the actor has a no nudity clause in his contract , so two stunt - butts were employed for a couple of semi - nude shots .
blucas , whose character secretly dates a large woman throughout the story , gets another unique moment late in the film .
sick of hearing teammates make " fat chick " jokes
, he climbs on top of a table and loudly declares his love of amply - sized ladies .
while his speech still ends up objectifying women , it remains a nice change of pace in a numbingly ordinary movie .
trivial tidbit : " summer catch " marks a scooby doo summit .
marc blucas appears in " jay and silent bob strike back " as fred from the scooby doo gang , while freddie prinze jr .
plays the same character in the upcoming big budget film version of the old cartoon .

[EX Q]: the heartbreak kid ( reviewed on aug .
26th/1998 ) starring charles grodin , cybill sheppard , eddie albert in " the heartbreak kid " , charles grodin plays one of the most unbelievably obnoxious characters i 've seen on screen in a long time .
he 's a guy who spends virtually the entire running time of the movie bullshitting his way from one situation to another .
i doubt he ever expressed any genuine feeling at all during the film .
as the film opens , he has just gotten married , and is on the way to miami beach for his honeymoon .
halfway there , he begins to resent his bride .
by the time he arrives at his hotel and has met the cybill sheppard character , he is ready to divorce his wife .
as played by grodin , this character is the type of person that nothing will ever be good enough for him .
the phrase " the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence " was practically written with him in mind .
however , if he finds something he really wants , he will pursue it for as long as it takes .
the only problem is , once he has it , he immediately loses interest .
the end of " the heartbreak kid " is both hilarious and sad for that very reason .
charles grodin is at his smarmy best here , and sheppard is quite appealing as the object of grodin 's desire . however , the real scene stealer is jeannie berlin , daughter of director elaine may , as grodin 's whiny bride .
she owns every scene that she 's in , and makes you almost want to root for what the grodin character is trying to do .
"
the heartbreak kid " was written by neil simon and it shows .
simon loves to deconstruct and analyze human relationships , and he 's at the top of his game here .
as maddeningly obnoxious as the grodin character is , he 's the type of guy that everyone knows .
the character of george costanza on " seinfeld " seems to have been modelled after him .
the only problem with the film is that it 's not that funny , and it 's billed as a comedy . as much as i could see the realism in the characters , it would have been nice to have a chuckle here and there .
"
the heartbreak kid " is not a date movie .
it has an extremely negative view of relationships , so seeing it with a girlfriend / boyfriend , could be hazardus to your health .
