Critics Consensus

While not a home run, Fever Pitch has enough charm and on-screen chemistry between the two leads to make it a solid hit.

David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) I think it's very ordinary. Rated: 2/4 May 7, 2014 Full Review William Goss Film.com ...tries to deal with the messy process of nurturing a proper adult relationship rather than simply shoehorning two lovers into a predictable set of catastrophic circumstances until they finally succumb to one another. May 29, 2013 Full Review David Germain Associated Press Stripped of almost all the brothers' usual crudeness, Fever Pitch proves what we've suspected all along: That beneath the gross-out gags and freak-show humor, Peter and Bobby Farrelly are just a couple of lovable romantics. Mar 20, 2013 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News To put it in baseball terms, Fever Pitch swings for the fences, only to come up well short of the warning track. Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Miles Fielder The List Fallon and Barrymore make for a likable and funny couple, even if this reasonably amusing film doesn't quite hit a home run. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel A slapdash, clumsy, poorly acted and pervasively false film filled with precocious movie kids, nonstop needle drops and a barrage of "washing your balls" jokes. Rated: 1/5 Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rosana B Baseado num ensaio autobiográfico de 1992, que gerou também o filme de 1997 (homônimo que desejo assistir também) onde ambos eram sobre futebol, mas alteraram para se adequar ao mercado americano (Boston Red Sox)… Drew Barrymore sempre maravilhosa nesses filmes de comédia romântica bobinhas… O protagonista me incomoda na mesma proporção que me encanta, já fui fanática, imaturidade eterna… Trilha sonora linda, que embala nossas risadas de coração quentinho, e também nossas quase lágrimas... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Larry K One of my favorite baseball movies ever Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Haruki H It is an absolute must-see for both sports and romance fans. It felt so real that I forgot I was watching a movie. It can make you sad for a while but then makes you happy again like it literally has every mood in it. The music is also great. It is such a nice comedy romance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Alan g The original book was about Arsenal Football Club. The director and writer ruined it by making a movie about the red sox. Bad movie horrible acting. Why do these hollywood hacks think they can do better than the original source. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review donnie m cute movie and a 'good song' can really make a movie better as in "sweet caroline" Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Audience Member As a Yankee fan, I didn’t really want to watch this haha but I was pleasantly surprised. Cute love story, good humor and a nice depiction of having to make the difficult decisions in life. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis When Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon), a young teacher, begins dating pretty businesswoman Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), the two don't seem to have a lot of the same interests, but they fall in love, regardless. Their romance goes well until baseball season begins, and Lindsey soon realizes that Ben is completely obsessed with the Boston Red Sox. Though she tries to understand Ben's passionate team loyalty, eventually it threatens to end their otherwise happy relationship.
