Fever Pitch: Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore star in this romantic comedy that revolves around the Boston Red sox season. The 2 characters start to fall in love during the off season, but once the baseball season starts, Ben’s (Fallon) true colors come out – a die hard Red sox fan. The thing I liked was the premise as I can relate to the idea of having to make plans around the sox games. Plus I liked the baseball humor; you will appreciate it more if you are a fan of the game. The movie does have it’s flaws, such as the fact that none of the characters really seem to be from Boston, so it does have a very fake feeling about it. The beginning of the movie, mainly the “first date” is just horrendous, luckily it did pick up from there.

----- Also all this about how they filmed a new ending on the field when the Red sox won it……what an absolute waste of time, did not have to have it in there at all. In fact after seeing it I was mad they were even let on the field in the 1st place.
With a running time of 103 minutes
This film is rated PG-13
