About this product

Product Information

The Farrelly Brothers (THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, DUMB & DUMBER) take a slight departure from their signature breed of over-the-top, gross-out humor and opt instead for sensitive restraint with this genuinely sweet love story. Credit is due in part to the writing team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (SPANGLISH) who adapt Nick Hornby's popular British novel, moving it to Boston and exchanging the protagonist's obsession with soccer for an all-consuming love of baseball. Ever since his first childhood visit to Fenway Park, easygoing schoolteacher Ben (Jimmy Fallon) has been in love with the Boston Red Sox. When he meets a successful workaholic named Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), he warns her that being such an avid fan has been a problem in his past relationships. On the brink of turning 30, Lindsey is eager to make what seems like an otherwise promising romance work, and she agrees to go with Ben to opening day (of the eventful 2004 season when the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years).As baseball season proceeds, the truly obsessive nature of Ben's hobby is revealed, and a love triangle is set up in which baseball plays the role of the other woman. Lindsey's feelings for Ben are put to the test again and again as his love for the game threatens to outweigh his feelings for her. While the film's structure is pretty typical of a romantic comedy, FEVER PITCH offers quirky characters that ring true. Fallon and Barrymore display a genuine chemistry and Fallon proves (after leaving SNL) that he can pull off the romantic lead. With the exception of Yankee fans, FEVER PITCH should appeal to anyone who has ever really loved another person (or a pastime).

    Fever Pitch is a cute date movie - not a sports movie

    Fever Pitch got a lot of heat when it came out because of the involvment of the Re Sox in it - many considered it to be an unholy mockery of the Red Sox 2004 World Series championship. But the movie wasn't meant to be a sports film - its a date movie. Its cute and its funny - and thats exactly what its meant to be. Jimmy Fallon is hilariously odd and uncomfortable as a die hard red sox fan trying to balance his commitment to his team and his new girlfriend (played by Drew Barrymore). I personally find Drew Barrymore irritating and a sub-par actress, but she is mostly fine in this role. The movie has something for everyone and its an enjoyable 90 minutes. My guess is that this movie wouldn't work without Jimmy Fallon - who really makes it special and brings to life some of the oddball humor ...

    one of the worst movies ever

    How could this movie possibly be so bad? It's the Farrelly brothers, and they made Dumb and Dumber, AND they can even make a movie about the special Olympics funny and appropriate, too. And even if the movie sucks, Drew Barrymore is SO CUTE that I could just watch her do dishes for 90 minutes and be entertained. Well, I was wrong on both counts. This is honestly one of the worst piles of awful movie ever made. It fails as a romantic comedy because it fails at both romance and comedy. The only reason one would like this movie is if they are die hard Red Sox fans and get turned on by just seeing their team on the big screen. The only reason I gave it a rating of two instead of one is because the soundtrack had Dropkick Murphys. I have to give credit where credit is due.

    GO SOX!, fun movie

    My husband rented this movie once, and I was sold and had to have it! I love baseball (not just specifically the Sox), Jimmy Fallon was hilarious, and I think this might just be Drew Barrymore's best. (Excellent date movie) side note: if you want to watch "the making of Fever Pitch" on this disc, this just made me love it that much more. It was quite ironic how the SOX had been on an incredibly long stretch of not making it to the World Series, and the original written ending was to follow that streak. Miraculously they happened to get to the series at the same time the movie was being filmed, and quickly the ending had to be re-written and they had to do some fancy footwork to get there to film it and arrange to be "part of it - on the field" at the crowning moment!. GO SOX!

    A little dry

    This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it sure isn't the best. Ben(played by Jimmy Fallon) is a very dedicated Red Sox fan. He puts them above everything else in his life. He starts dating Lindsey(Played by Drew Barrymore)and after a while it starts bothering her that she is the second priority in his life. They really could have made this funnier by making her play games or something to keep him from the games. Not that that would have been funny in real life, but hey this is the movies. It is a little dry and lacks a lot of humor.

    I loved it and so did my grand kids.Made me take them to a game at Fenway.

    The original version of this movie was finished before the season ended and had the Red Sox losing the pennant,that's why the end of the movie ended so abruptly.The final scene showing them running onto the field when the Red Sox won the World Series was done with the permission of the Cardinals and the fans were not thrilled with it happening.The Cardinals also went outside and called all the Red Sox fans without tickets in to watch the final innings when it looked like the Red Sox where going to win.A real class act by the Cardinals.
