IMDb Plot Synopsis: After being cut from the USA softball team and feeling a bit past her prime, Lisa finds herself evaluating her life and in the middle of a love triangle, as a corporate guy in crisis competes with her current, baseball-playing beau.

A Quick Review: This was, as expected, a rather dire film. Starring Owen Wilson I knew it wouldn’t be up to much, but Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon gave me false hope that it might be reasonable. It was fine. Completely unoriginal, packed full of cliches and cringe-inducing moments. The only thing saving it were the scenes between Rudd and Witherspoon as they felt a lot less contrived and they had good chemistry. 

But the lack of plot or spark and the inclusion of Wilson meant that it was quite a disappointment.

Score: 6/10
