Fever Pitch
My Review:
Fever Pitch stars Drew Barrymore as the driven career woman facing the big “20-10” without a boyfriend. She opens her horizons, and her heart, to Jimmy Fallon’s school teacher and they enjoy a delightful winter together. When spring arrives, with the Red Sox schedule, Drew discovers just how important the team is to this die-hard fan. Can they get over his obsession and her workaholism? Clever writing by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandell, and some outrageous physical comedy by the directing/producing team of the Farrelly brothers. Most of the “adult” jokes will go over the heads of the younger ones, but remember, this movie is rated PG-13. We had some younger kids sitting behind us at the theatre, and when Drew talked about “missing her period” they started asking “what does THAT mean?”! I heard they had to change the ending of the movie when the Red Sox actually won the world series last year!
