Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

namashi_1 The Farrelly Brothers are in assured & fine form in the underrated 'Fever Pitch', an oddly appealing Romantic-Comedy, that mixes love & fanaticism with honesty. Its a cute & breezy watch, with an excellent cast.'Fever Pitch' Synopsis: Lindsay (The Adorable Drew Barrymore) is stuck in the middle of her relationship with Ben (The Underrated Jimmy Fallon) and his passion for the Boston Red Sox.Watching Lindsay struggle with Ben over his lifelong obsession with the Boston Red Sox, mostly results in funny moments. What really works here is how The Farrelly Brothers keep the tone light & warm, never losing out on its simplicity. Though the film lags at parts & could've been trimmed by a few minutes, its still a decent watch nonetheless.Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel's Screenplay, which is loosely based on Nick Hornby's best-selling memoir, Fever Pitch: A Fan's Life, is cute & manages to show romance & fanaticism, both, effectively. The Farrelly Brothers' Direction, like always, is simple & well- done. Cinematography & Editing are perfect. Art & Costume Design are also great.Performance-Wise: Fallon & Barrymore are in excellent form. Fallon, the current hot favorite talk show host, portrays a man committed to his obsession with energy & is equally successful at being romantic. Barrymore is wonderful as his lady-love, who at times fails to understand his obsession, yet tries to make them work. The Supporting Cast is pretty solid, too.On the whole, 'Fever Pitch' will make you smile, if nothing more.

studioAT Jimmy Fallon is a funny guy, but as it stands at the moment he has never made his mark on the big screen. 'The Perfect Catch' (or Fever Pitch to use the original title) is sadly a good example of why.It's good a good cast involved, and the story is decent (adapted form the far more successful British version) but all those good elements don't click enough to transform this average film into being a good one.It's a shame because you can see Fallon and Drew Barrymore working their hardest to make the dialogue seem real and to get the best out of their characters, but it is in vain.Always nice to see Ione Skye (forever known for 'Say Anything') on screen though, albeit here in a small role.'The Perfect Catch' is an amiable enough comedy. But forgettable.

g-bodyl I am reviewing this movie from a movie point of view instead of a sports point of view even though I will mention a few sports related topics. From a movie view, this is a great, family-fun movie with several important themes added in.This film is about a die-hard Red Sox fan who falls in love with a workaholic and they begin to date. Their relationship is fine to start off but as things get sweeter, the addiction to the Red Sox team has begun to tear them apart inch by inch.The acting is pretty good. Drew Barrymore did a great job. Jimmy Fallon did a decent job, not as well as I expected.There are some good songs in this comedy. These songs include "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond.This movie brought back some unpleasant memories for me. When the Yankees were ahead 3 games to nothing, I thought that the Yankees would be in another World Series, but the Red Sox won the next four games to advance to the World Series. That still haunts me to this day.Sports fan or not, this is a good movie to watch with a date or family. It has some decent laughs. I rate this movie 8/10.

madpigmadpig It's rare, nowadays, to find a romantic comedy that isn't incredibly disgusting in short doses throughout the entire movie (eg. Big Fat Greek wedding; Me, Myself & Irene). There were only a couple of unnecessarily demented jokes in this movie, nothing unpalatably profane. All around, it was a cute movie with likable characters. I thought the ending was a little abrupt. It feels like they should have ended it at the world series for a real bang up finish. The acting left a little to be desired, but was made up for by the pace of the story. If I'd known it was a Farrelly brothers movie I would have assumed it to be a stomach turning piece of garbage and not watched it, but it seems that even they are capable of accidentally making an okay movie. Good for them, I hope they pull their heads out the rest of the way and start consistently making good films.
