Fever Pitch throws a curve ball at standard romantic comedy formula. It's about a passion for a team, as well as for the opposite sex. Loosely adapted from Nick Hornby's novel about his own obsession with soccer, Fever Pitch is an engaging romantic comedy that men will enjoy as much as women, especially because it can apply to any sports fixation.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B-
"... shaggy Fallon and bubbly Barrymore are immensely likable."
Austin American-Statesman: Thumbs-up
"Ahh, should-have-beens. They've been part of the Red Sox history for so long, and 'Fever Pitch' nicely weaves this painful past into a love story about sacrifice and sacrifice flies, about singles and doubles."
Austin American-Statesman: Thumbs-down
"If selling Babe Ruth nearly a century ago invited a curse on the Red Sox, I shudder at the consequences of 'Fever Pitch.'"
Dayton Daily News: B
"The comedy occasionally falters, like the Red Sox in July, but it hits more than it misses."
The Palm Beach Post: B+
"Yankees' rooters probably will not appreciate the replay of their team's pennant collapse, but everyone else should recognize a solid hit down the middle."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"... hands down, one of the most truthful movies about dating in one's 30s that I've ever seen. Sure, it abounds with your date-movie cliches.
But the meat of it is heartbreakingly, unflinchingly familiar."
