Reviews for Fever Pitch
This was a fun movie that comes in time for the start of baseball season. The two stars work well together. Enjoy this fun movie.

'It's cute' will be the overwhelming coo that greets this sweet meetup between Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore.
04/14/05
Has a slapdash feeling to it.

In [the Farrelly Brothers'] better movies ... there exists a sweetness that belies the barfs, and this picture merely places that quality front and center.
04/13/05
What keeps us in the ballgame are Drew Barrymore and the Sox themselves.

More work-for-hire than a bona fide Farrelly Brothers picture. But it's pretty good work-for-hire.

In Praise of Peter and Bobby

Barely a screwball comedy, let alone a gunk-loaded spitball like There's Something About Mary.
04/12/05
This could be the blandest-looking romantic comedy in years. It's a poorly structured one as well, with some of the clumsiest gags since Stuck on You.

If I were Gene Shalit, I would be in baseball-mataphor heaven over my enthusiasm for Fever Pitch. Really, it's that good.

The Farrellys transform romantic formula into understanding.
04/12/05
Pleasant enough, yet it seldom sparks hearty laughter or tugs too strongly on a heartstring.
04/11/05
Even Hollywood wouldn't have scripted that happy ending to the story if it hadn't really happened.
04/11/05
An ending that sends you out of the theater smiling from ear to ear.
04/11/05
[A] near-perfect romantic comedy, and the elegance with which it's been constructed is a beautiful thing to behold.
04/11/05
The Farrellys deliver something you would never expect from them: blandness.
04/10/05
"Fever Pitch" is a room-temperature movie.
04/10/05
The Farrelly Brothers step up to the batter’s box with cockeyed confidence looking to take a quirky swing at the famed Green Monster with uneven but high-spirited results
04/10/05
It carries with it the full courage of its heart-on-its-sleeve convictions, and that’s easy to respond to.
