Fever Pitch

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: dare I say sometimes cute?
Cons: unfunny, plodding, typical Farrelly brothers formula

I don't have many opinions on Jimmy Fallon, so let's just say I wasn't deeply saddened when he left the dwindling cast of Saturday Night Live for a career in movies; a path on which many Saturday Night Live alumni have taken only to find disappointing ...

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: 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 ...

Pros: Good Premise and some good jokes.
Cons: Plot may be to thin for some.

Spring is the time of year when past failures of the fall are forgotten by most baseball fans. While hope springs eternal every spring for most fans, Boston Red Sox fans have long had a love/hate relationship with their team. This is large part to the ...

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: acting A++ by Fallon and Barrymore
Cons: Ending seems unpolished and incomplete

The Trailer shows promising potential for a great romantic comedy but I was short changed in the end. Though I am very pleased with the overall performance by Jimmy Fallon (beyond the expectation for an SNL alumnus) and Drew Barrymore, there are ...

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: 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: Jimmy Fallon, and the run of the Red Sox
Cons: Drew Barrymore cast for wrong role

A romantic comedy about high-school teacher Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon) and working professional Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore). The story begins as Wrightman takes several of his top students to the "real" world to meet a professional that uses ...

Pros: Romantic comedy, cute, Red Sox lovers, funny, great chemistry between Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore
Cons: Jimmy Fallon's character was obsessed about the Red Sox, storyline seemed unrealistic in some ways

This is a cute, lighthearted and enduring movie for Red Sox and Drew Barrymore fans. The movie has comedy, romance, and some light drama. I thought the director made Jimmy Fallon's character over the top about really being a Red Sox fan, to me he seemed obsessed by the Red Sox. How many 30 something men do you know decorate their rooms with all Red Sox memorabilia?  All in all, Jimmy Fallon did a great acting job.  This was a somewhat different role for Drew Barrymore. She played an uptight professional, but did it well.

Pros: none
Cons: long, boring, unfunny, unconvincing, bad acting, writing. zero stars

This is one boring and unfunny movie. I read the critic's raves and thought it must be decent. It was bad. I kept waiting for it to turn for the better but it didn't. Fallon is a crappy actor. Don't waste your time or money, not even when it gets to the dollar theaters.
