The Farrelly brothers continue their good-natured winning streak with Fever Pitch, a romantic comedy charmed by fate and last-minute improvisation. The movie was originally written with a bittersweet ending, but something unexpected happened (kismet, or perhaps divine intervention?) when the Boston Red Sox scored miraculous victories in the 2004 playoffs and World Series, and Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon were there, in character, to celebrate love and baseball as a pair of amiable lovers who learn to share their lives while accommodating Fallon's life-long passion for the Red Sox. You really have to love baseball to forgive the formulaic romance by veteran Hollywood screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (who also wrote A League of Their Own, and could write this stuff in their sleep), but the codirecting Farrellys make it work, along with the easygoing chemistry of Barrymore and Fallon. The movie bears little resemblance to Nick Hornby's source novel (which was more faithfully adapted as a 1997 British comedy starring Colin Firth), but anyone who enjoyed High Fidelity or About a Boy will recognize Hornby's keen understanding of men and women, and the hazards we all endure when playing the game of love. --Jeff Shannon

 defective March 12, 2010
Andrea J. Burks (Vernon, VT United States)
I love the movie, but it (the DVD) is defective. I didn't bother to return it because it seems too much trouble for the amount of money involved.

Okay, okay, FEVER PITCH is a romcom, but when the backdrop is the greatest game ever invented I'm on board and intent. And being a long-suffering Cubs fan I readily identify with Jimmy Fallon's character's lustful addiction to his beloved Red Sox. When baseball is the focal point of existence winter is merely a hiatus; I so get that. Anyways, the stars must have been in perfect alignment for the Farrelly brothers as they filmed Fallon and a very scrumptious Drew Barrymore in character at the immortal Fenway at the same time the BoSox made their improbable postseason run into magical history. It's yet another dimension making this movie so much fun.
Barrymore and Fallon play well off one another; Barrymore as a career-oriented workaholic, Fallon as a teacher by day and baseball junkie by night. When a spark between the two ensues, it is Fallon's character who suddenly realizes there's more to life--much, much more--than baseball. The romance has its predictable ups and downs, then its breakup, then its dramatic makeup; yet even though the viewer knows exactly what's going to happen FEVER PITCH is still grand fun due to its BoSox enhancement. Plus the scene showing Fallon and his buds deciding who gets which of the rare allotment of season tickets had me rolling on the floor; heck, Fallon is given a plethora of great one-liners that he delivers with tongue-in-cheek chutzpah. Yeah, FEVER PITCH is a romcom, but it's a baseball romcom. Which makes it a winner on my scoreboard.

I love this movie, and I am a BIG YANKEE'S FAN - but I remember when the Red Sox's finally won, I celebrated with them, because no team had such bad fortune with baseball as much as they did. Jimmy Fallon acting was surprising good and of course Drew's was exceptional as usual.

Acute movie September 25, 2009

I think it's fair to say every Red Sox fan has seen this movie. And i think it's fair to say in New England every knows where they were the night the Sox finally won it. I certainly do!!!
Not to go into detail, you can read hundreds of the other reviews for details and plots. This is a nice, sweet, funny, love story, made by two New Englanders, who love the Sox for better or worse. This is a perfect movie to watch with your sweetheart if you don't want to watch a movie like The Notebook or those other thousands of rom/coms. Cause it has baseball, guys like baseball, haha. The movie appeals to both sexes.
