Fever Pitch (Boston Red Sox Curse Reversed Edition) Review

I recently purchased this item. I got it because I am a hardcore Red Sox fan... still can't believe I didn't buy this before!

The plot is quite simple... boy meets (out his league) girl, girl falls in love, and then... the worst thing ever... he's a baseball obsessed guy!!! Ok, ok, a bit of a twist. What I loved about this movie, it gives a parallels of what was going on in my life that year. The best thing about this film was that it was shot "real time" meaning they had two endings, one where the Sox lost, and the actual ending (YAY!)

If you're a Red Sox fan, get ready to relieve all those moments, the losses the wins (that FANTASTIC win against NEW YORK YANKEES!), as much as it is a chick-flick, baseball is a big (huge) part of the movie... so guys will enjoy it as well. Funny, lovable characters. Drew Barrymore doing what she does best: making us fall in love with her. Jimmy Fallon, as the adorable crazy fan! (the scene where he's at Spring Training is EPIC! hahaha). All in all, great movie, simple plot, funny. One of those no-brainer movies that we like watching when we don't really want our brain to work haha.

Fever Pitch (Boston Red Sox Curse Reversed Edition) Overview

According to Red Sox super-fan Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon), finding romance is about as likely as his beloved team winning the World Series. But when Ben scores a beautiful new girlfriend (Drew Barrymore), suddenly anything is possible. Now the two passions in his life have a chance to go all the way... if he doesn't strike out first.

The Farrelly brothers continue their good-natured winning streak with Fever Pitch, a romantic comedy charmed by fate and last-minute improvisation. The movie was originally written with a bittersweet ending, but something unexpected happened (kismet, or perhaps divine intervention?) when the Boston Red Sox scored miraculous victories in the 2004 playoffs and World Series, and Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon were there, in character, to celebrate love and baseball as a pair of amiable lovers who learn to share their lives while accommodating Fallon's life-long passion for the Red Sox. You really have to love baseball to forgive the formulaic romance by veteran Hollywood screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (who also wrote A League of Their Own, and could write this stuff in their sleep), but the codirecting Farrellys make it work, along with the easygoing chemistry of Barrymore and Fallon. The movie bears little resemblance to Nick Hornby's source novel (which was more faithfully adapted as a 1997 British comedy starring Colin Firth), but anyone who enjoyed High Fidelity or About a Boy will recognize Hornby's keen understanding of men and women, and the hazards we all endure when playing the game of love. --Jeff Shannon
