The reason I want to see this film because it has romance (which is the genre I'm intrested in), and it stars my new favorite actor Jimmy Fallon, who stars as a goofy cop named Andy in Taxi with Queen Latifah.... Full review

I like baseball, so maybe I'm biased, but this was a fun movie. Great for a date movie, or a friend movie. If you are looking for a fun comedy, this is it.... Full review

Baseball fans will appreciate its authenticity, but you certainly don't need to be a fan to enjoy the film. Its not going to win any awards but it certainly delivers what it promises, a light hearted romantic comedy with plenty of... Full review

This movie was terrible!!! It was a bad love story and the whole point was stupid because you're just watching some guy who is crazy about baseball being crazy about baseball. And the whole thing is just really bad. It is... Full review

One of the funniest movies ever. They took the Red Sox whole ideal a little too far. I mean don't get me wrong I love the Red Sox but the guys apartment looks like a childs room. The romance was great... Full review

I was hesitant to see Jimmy after Taxi, but I went anyways. To my surprise, the movie was not bad! I actually enjoyed it, and stayed for the whole thing. Jimmy did not annoy me this time, and Drew Berrymore was... Full review

Fever Pitch is a great movie for baseball fans, for fans of romantic comedies and for fans of Fallon and Barrymore.
Fever Pitch isn't a laugh-out-loud comedy and thus, many Farrelly fans may be disappointed, however, this isn't just another silly little romantic comedy.

Based on Nick Hornby's best selling autobiography, The Perfect Catch is a poor Americanised version of the 1997 film Fever Pitch, for which Hornby wrote the screenplay and which starred Colin Firth.
The characters, like the situations, play out like a phoney game of charades.

Based on Nick Hornby's best selling autobiography, The Perfect Catch is a poor Americanised version of the 1997 film Fever Pitch, for which Hornby wrote the screenplay and which starred Colin Firth.
In his autobiographical novel Fever Pitch, British author Nick Hornby channeled under-used themes of male sporting obsessions into the painfully funny story of an English soccer fan that gradually finds room in his heart for a girlfriend and Arsenal Football Club.

So Jimmy Fallon has decent acting chops.
Fallon is a charming rom-com lead, and he can do poignant too.
One of the funniest lines to me wasnt a big guffaw moment, but a quieter one.

Plotwise, the London and football of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch has been swapped for Boston and baseball; but the career girl (Drew Barrymore) dating against type by falling for entertaining teacher (Jimmy Fallon) yarn remains.
You'll be equally as impatient with the extras - a flat gag-reel, a blink-and-miss-it alternative ending and a yak-track that, while passionate, ultimately strikes out.

You'll have to forgive my small bias for this Farrelly Brothers boy-meets-girl-but-loves-baseball-team charmer. As an 18-year resident of Boston, the movie's ever-present backdrop, I hooked onto this breezy romantic comedy like an eager fish. ... Full Article
