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

The gall of Peter and Bobby Farrelly. To think that a romantic comedy might work absent a sleazy wager or maddening miscommunication takes a lot of chutzpah.

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.

This is Hollywood Hornby: not terrible, but not worth crossing a busy street for, and nowhere near as memorable as what the Sox did last year.

I prefer the Farrellys when they're disreputable and push the boundaries of taste, because they're otherwise a tad sentimental.

Passably entertaining.

Rarely have filmmakers had a more wildly improbable happy ending forced on them. Well, you need all the help you can get, divine or otherwise, when your two stars - Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon - have no chemistry whatsoever.

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

Just a fun, fun movie. Brings back memories growing up with games at Fenway. I understand that this rating is considered a bit high for this movie, but I'm a Bostonian and this is a regional must watch.

Jimmy Fallon might be not be the best Drew Barrymore's movie couples but he still doing a fine performance, at least it's not terrible, even though we all know if the movie become realistic this kinda thing still isn't gonna work well in the future, but who cares?, overall Fever Pitch is still fills with great comedy and it still very entertaining.

Fever Pitch is hardly going to win any awards, but it's a decent enough romantic comedy that most fans of the genre will probably enjoy.
