Fever Pitch

Pros: Love Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, especially Jimmy Fallon
Cons: Nothing really.

Drew Barrymore is “Lindsey” (“Lucky You”, “50 First Dates”, “Never Been Kissed”, “Poison Ivy”, “ET”), Jimmy Fallon is “Ben” (“Factory Girl”, ...

Pros: Fallon & Barrymore are actually fairly charming.
Cons: Nothing really bad in the film...but it's just so MODEST in its efforts.

Although this is a Farrelly Brothers movie...it really isn't. Except for an early scene when Drew Barrymore's character has an epic bout of vomiting (off-screen), there's none of the "grossness" for which we all know and love (or hate) the Farrellys. ...

Pros: good acting, great ballpark scenes, cameo appearances, feel-good moments
Cons: some juvenile humor, inappropriate conversation between children and adult

I am not a big fan of movies wrapped with a sports theme. There have been some good ones, though, so I gave Fever Pitch a toss in the DVD player. Who would have thought that romance and baseball could be combined. Basic Plot Synopsis ...

Pros: good acting, fun story
Cons: well, you already know the ending in a way...

Ben lives in Boston. Ben is a baseball fan. Therefore, Ben has had a difficult life. Even worse than being a Mets fan in the shadow of the Yankees. When Ben grows up, he's a schoolteacher. One day, he brings a group of kids to a mathematics firm ...

Pros: Fallon and Barrymore's chemistry.
Cons: Too many scenes at Fenway, not enough development on major supporting characters.

As a child, "Ben" (Jimmy Fallon) fell in love with the Boston Red Sox and has been a member of the "Fenway Faithful" for years. Now he has grown up and has become a popular teacher who, while on a field trip with his class, meets "Lindsey" (Drew ...

Pros: Barrymore, Fallon
Cons: very simple storyline

I was browsing Blockbuster for a movie, a few months back, that both my mother and I would enjoy and came across Fever Pitch. I’m not always fond of love stories and thought that the movie would be a little boring since it focused on ...

Pros: sweet story, good performances, effective direction
Cons: not outrageously funny, has to overcome a nauseating "cute" factor

I believe in miracles - not because the Boston Redsox won the World Series, but because I actually sat through Fever Pitch and liked it. When they're good, romantic comedies are magic; when they're not, they're a prison sentence. Fever Pitch was ...

Pros: funny, cute, involves baseball, Jimmy Fallon
Cons: Very formulaic, relationship sort of 'faked'

The Farrelly brothers have brought us a new romantic comedy with the film Fever Pitch. The story starts out simple enough, with a boy and a girl starting to fall for each other. They bridge the gap between the differences in their jobs (one is a ...

Pros: Attempts to answer some important relationship questions; Fallon and Barrymore
Cons: Too simple to be a great movie.

How far should obsessed sports fans go in their devotion to their favorite team? This is a question many have posed and that no one has a clear answer. Some people have the capacity to limit their consumption of sports if something very important takes ...

Pros: Fallon and Barrymore have chemistry
Cons: A few moments drag.

The Movie: It's become fashionable to make fun of comedian Jimmy Fallon, as shows like "Family Guy" and "Simpsons" have taken aim at the former "Saturday Night Live" star. I think those people are...pretty much altogether right. I continue to think ...

Pros: Good plot, some good acting, "cute" story
Cons: Not funny, Jimmy Fallon, not interesting, predictable,plots not played out well

I had mixed feelings about seeing Fever Pitch. I liked some of the Farrelly brother’s previous movies. They were generally funny. Although I like them, the commercials for Fever Pitch didn’t look too funny, I don’t like Jimmy Fallon, and I’m not a big ...

Pros: Funny, cute, and about the Red Sox.
Cons: Characters appear a little exaggerated.

Alright, I need to start off by saying that I am a huge Boston Red Sox fan. A few months into dating my girlfriend, I took her to see "Fever Pitch." Call me a hopeless romantic if you must. This movie served two purposes. One, it is a nice romantic ...

Pros: funnier than expected, Fallon, decent romantic comedy
Cons: rather unbelievable, drags in some parts

I was bored yesterday. Not that this is big news, after all, I'm bored a lot of the time. How else to explain all the damn writing I do? Anyways, my mood was a bit off yesterday as well. You see, my original plan was to go see Sin City again ...

Pros: Fallon and Barrymore are great together
Cons: A couple of unfunny scenes

Fever Pitch is a romantic sports comedy based very loosely on the novel of the same name by Nick Hornby. It stars Jimmy Fallon (Saturday Night Live) and Drew Barrymore and was directed by the Farrelly brothers. I am a huge Nick Hornby fan and have ...

Pros: The Red Sox and a woman, dual passions.
Cons: The ending of the film comes very quickly.

At one time in every man's life, an important decision needs to be made. Should you watch the baseball game and leave your woman on her own? Or should you instead be the chivalrous gentleman and put down the remote, get out of your recliner, and head to ...
