(1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1   "Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon make an appealing on-screen couple in this insightful romantic comedy."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B "Pitch is a sweet concoction, a valentine to the Red Sox, and a genial romantic comedy. It may not hit a home run, but it has some good hustle to it."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "You never thought you'd feel nostalgic for the hair gel joke."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "It does what it sets out to do, which is earn a few laughs and a few smiles. But it’s all too run-of-the-mill."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3/4 "Subtlety and sensitivity are not words one equates with the Farrelly Bros. but they're deployed in spades in Fever Pitch, the shockingly good Americanization of Hornby."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "As a feel-good romance, Fever Pitch undoubtedly excels."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/4 "The most consistently funny motion picture of the year so far, and also its sweetest. Once over, audiences won't so much walk out of the theater as they will float out."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "Fever Pitch is not just some comedy about two people meeting each other halfway, but something greater: a statement about the wheeling and dealing of a tradition."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "The movie -- often amusing, occasionally funny -- rides on their friendly shoulders well enough to be, if nowhere near a homerun, at least a respectable single."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "Fever Pitch relaxes too much at the plate, fouling off (and shaving) too many balls to get us pumped enough for the next game and likely to be forgotten by the first of May."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A- "The best Hollywood rom-com since My Best Friend's Wedding."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2.5/4 "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"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "This is, at best, a distinctly low-grade 'Fever.' If not a foul ball, barely earns a single."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A light-hearted romantic comedy about a young couple trying to sort out their priorities about love. work and sports."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The key to a romantic comedy working is often whether the filmmakers invest the audience in the plight of the main characters. Do we have a rooting interest in these two getting together? This is something the Farrellys accomplish."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "it works because, despite being immensely enjoyable as a romantic comedy, it cuts deep to the heart of modern romance"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon make a cute couple, but this sports-centric romantic comedy doesn't quite knock it out of the park."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "Where’s Adam Sandler when you need him!?!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo B "new wrinkle for the Farrelly brothers that baseball fans and couples can relate to"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit "Fever Pitch is as artificial as Astroturf, but that doesn't stop the romantic sports comedy from wearing its heart on it's jersey."   Light Views   John Larsen 4/10 "A thin shell of Hornby’s original work, with a typical threadbare rom-com shoehorned into it, like an eight-hundred pound monster trying to cram itself into a size 30 jacket."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4.5/5 "It's nice to have two cute, intelligent, unsure, funny protagonists and still believe in their connection to each other, plus the additional romance of obsessions."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2.5/4 "Still, as mediocre as Barrymore and Fallon are in this movie, we wind up liking them anyway and rooting for them to get their happy ending."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "Fallon's a second stringer to Barrymore's big leagues, but "Fever Pitch" is still a winner"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "El fin de la maldición del Bambino, un buen guión y la irresistible Drew Barrymore. Combinación otoñal fresca y exquisita."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/5 "This romantic comedy about a guy, a girl and the Boston Red Sox is surprisingly sweet."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "An enjoyable romantic comedy, and not much more"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[A] loud, obnoxious collection of pratfalls, testicle jokes, and vomit-eating dogs..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A nice movie--and that's not damning it with faint praise, as there's just no term that better fits."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "The film knows what it’s like to be a devoted fan and how frustrating it can be to love a devoted fan. The screenplay does a good job of looking at the issue from both sides."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "The Hollywood studio de-flavorizing machine has toned the Farrellys down and flattened them out and the result is perfectly enjoyable but perfectly forgettable."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "An amusing and affecting ode to professional sports fandom."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 "Anyone familiar with the conventions of the rom-com genre knows how all this is going to turn out."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "A likeable cast and a breezy tone make the film watchable, even if the plot has been badly stretched and simplified."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "Even Hollywood wouldn't have scripted that happy ending to the story if it hadn't really happened."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "The love story is a true microcosm of the emotional rise and fall the Red Sox fans have felt every year for 86 years"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B+ "Might be the first baseball comedy girls convince their guys to see. By the end, both will be pointing at the screen and saying, 'You see, that's how I feel about sports.'"   Flipside Movie Emporium   Sean O'Connell "The Farrellys, New Englanders by birth, love the Red Sox so much that they forgive their lead character a multitude of sins that, in any of their other movies, they'd be too gentlemanly (and too humane) to ever allow."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 "A dandy, heart-warming, fun-filled date movie - corny but charming."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "Think of Fever Pitch as the phone booth--though the Kryptonite could be any combination of Ganz & Mandel, Fallon, or Barrymore."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1
