For baseball fans, especially Sox fans, this was a great movie. This may have been Fallon's best movie yet.

Cute and loveable, both jimmy fallon and drew berrymore play likeable characters in this light-hearted movie about a boy who never let his dreams of baseball go. Big executive Drew berrymore is talked into dating a high school teacher by all her friends, and as the two begin to bond, she sees that he has an almost gross obsession with the red sox. The whole movie is based on her need to manage work and her boyfriend, who seems to care more about americas past time than her. Funny, sweet, fun for a date or for a ladies night out.

I thought the storyline was cute. Jimmy Fallon was funny and Drew Barrymore was pretty as always. I loved her and him together. I don't know if I like the team they chose though. =/

I'm not a big baseball fan so I could care less that the team represented in the film was the Boston Red Sox. I enjoyed the movie because I thought it was a cute story that I easily got hooked to. The ending was really sweet although predictable...

The only reason why I hate this film, is because I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan, so I hate this movie...Am I biased?...Of course.

  It's been a while since a movie made the game of love this winning.

  The movie has been directed by the Farrelly brothers...Here, they're sensitive and warm-hearted, never push too hard, empathize with the characters, allow Lindsey and Ben to become people we care about.

  Baseball, Boston and Drew Barrymore. Certainly sounds like a winning combination.

  The Farrelly brothers are growing up, which in this case isn't a bad thing. With a tacked-on ending made necessary by the Boston Red Sox's improbable World Series run last fall, Fever Pitch proves a charming romantic comedy against "A Beautiful Mind"-type framework.

  The gall of Peter and Bobby Farrelly. To think that a romantic comedy might work absent a sleazy wager or maddening miscommunication takes a lot of chutzpah.

  The picture's consistently entertaining and, though it has few brilliant comic peaks, it never plunges into boring valleys.

  Sails by on cute dialogue, some funny visual gags, and two enormously likable leads.

  Ultimately goes the distance, it gets the job done with a halfhearted bunt rather than a solid line drive.

  This is Hollywood Hornby: not terrible, but not worth crossing a busy street for, and nowhere near as memorable as what the Sox did last year.

  As a motion picture, Fever Pitch is merely competent.

  By contrast, other Hornby screen adaptations are "About a Boy" and "High Fidelity"- superb comedies both and, in Fidelity's case, a treatise on male obsession with far more depth and even more laughs.
