Description:
According to Red Sox super-fan Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon), finding romance is about as likely as his beloved team winning the World Series. But when Ben scores a beautiful new girlfriend (Drew Barrymore), suddenly anything is possible. Now the two passions in his life have a chance to go all the way... if he doesn't strike out first.
Amazon.com:
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

The first time I saw this movie, my college roommate and I had rented this movie. We popped in the movie, watched it, then promptly started it over again. Tragically, I later lost the copy I purchased and had to resort to good ol' Amazon.com.
Anywho, this is truly one delightful movie and I happily consider it one of my favorite romantic comedies. "Fever Pitch" is sweet, funny, and packs a pretty darn good message about relationships and priorities. Fallon and Barrymore have wonderful ... Read More

I am a true Yankee fan and although the Red Sox are now our biggest rivals I still enjoyed this movie. I had to close my eyes at the end for a few seconds when they showed the Red Sox comeback in the AL Championship series.
Because the Red Sox our biggest American League rival people think it was always that way. But it wasn't. When I grew up in the 1950s the Red Sox had great hitters like Ted Williams and Pete Runnels. But they were never a contender. The Yankees rivals were the Indians ... Read More

There are two stories in Fever Pitch: one) the city of Boston's love/hate relationship with their Red Sox and two) a romance between a diehard Red Sox fan and a yuppie woman.
While some of the plot is a bit formulaic, the chemistry between Drew and Jimmy was fantastic. I found this a bit surprising, since to a certain degree, Jimmy Fallon was pretty much playing Jimmy Fallon. However, I think Drew Barrymore really makes a great effort in this role: you could tell she has come a long way in some ... Read More

This movie has it all: comedy, sports, love story, and it's all wrapped around a true event. One of the best ever, and anyone over 12 can see it. Seen it 2-3 times, and I never, ever watch movies more than once.

I still find this one to be one of my favorite movies. It has just enough sports & just enough romance for both guys & girls to enjoy it.
I loved the relationship between Barrymore & Fallon. It was believable & funny. Thought it was the perfect match & both balanced each other. I totally feel in love with Jimmy Fallon in this movie. His role in this movie showed me the perfect guy.
Not a Red Sox fan, but a baseball fan in general. I still liked the storyline. This is one that I watch ... Read More
