Fever Pitch: 5 out of 10.
It might shock you to know I'm not a Drew Barrymore fan. Something about her has always rubbed me the wrong way and I quietly root for her failure. "Fever Pitch" earns a passing grade not because I bought into her and Jimmy Fallon but because I bought into Jimmy Fallon's love affair with the Boston Red Sox.
I totally envied his life. He had season's tickets at Fenway Park where he worshipped his team. He attends the exhibition games in Florida, has every piece of memorabilia imaginable in his apartment and gets to see a lifetime of disappointent evaporate in front of his eyes when his team breaks the curse and wins it all.
I wanna be Jimmy Fallon. I want my team to end a lifetime of disappointment and deliver to me Lord Stanley's Cup. I want what he got.
