It's been a while since a movie made the game of love this winning. Read full review

Steven Rea

Fever Pitch works. At times, it works brilliantly. Read full review

James Berardinelli

A curious mix of smarts and schmaltz. Read full review

David Denby

Has a slapdash feeling to it. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

If you're rooting for Barrymore and Fallon, then why not their team? In the movies, there are enough happy endings for everyone. Read full review

Peter Travers

The movie is so soggy and anonymous, I had to remind myself that the Farrelly brothers, Peter and Bobby, directed it. It's sad to watch the kingpins of gross-out try to dial down to cute. Swung at and missed. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Ultimately, it's a bore. Don't see the movie – read the book, play the game. Read full review

Not a ten, but still an ah-mazing movie. Hated the thing with the pregency and the Red Sox booty pj thingy but still, great movie.

This is a very fun movie. It's more of a entertaining movie than a crappy romantic comedy. Jimmy Fallon is Jimmy Fallon, so that's good, and Drew Barrymore probably gives her better performances.

You really don't have to be a Boston Red Sox fan to enjoy this film, but it would probably help if you were. "Fever Pitch" has some sensible things to say about fanaticism, loyalty and compromise, and it says them well. The scenes on the field are realistic enough, but those outside You really don't have to be a Boston Red Sox fan to enjoy this film, but it would probably help if you were. "Fever Pitch" has some sensible things to say about fanaticism, loyalty and compromise, and it says them well. The scenes on the field are realistic enough, but those outside Fenway Park and in the stands are the best I've ever seen in a film about baseball. Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon make an engaging couple, and they are complemented by a fine supporting cast.… Expand

The movie was scripted; I could easily guess the outcome at the end of the movie, and what will happen in the next scene before it even started. The fact I could guess what could happen next I felt like there was no reason to watch the movie. I also thought that Jimmy Fallon

I gave it a three cause I could see how it might be appealing to some people. Yet it really isn't funny at all and its so cliched. I watched it with about six friends and it seemed every five mins we were correctly predicting what would happen next.

I watched it with about six friends and it seemed every five mins we were correctly predicting what would happen next. Jimmy Fallon is really annoying in just about every movie. So I already have a low opinion of him. This movie is a real dog.… Expand

It was so boring and dull. I had to watch it in 2 days to get through the movie without falling asleep. It did have a few funny parts, but the overall plot and story behind the movie makes the movie horrible.
