Fever Pitch is a comedy starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. This is not a great movie unless you are a Boston Red Sox fan. This movie is about Ben's (Fallon) all consuming devotion to the Red Sox. Ben is a school teacher and attends all the Red Sox home games. All he thinks about is going to the game, watching the game, being at the game and hoping the Sox go all the way to the World Series. He meets a woman executive, Lindsay who happens to be a workaholic. There first date is attending a Red Sox game although Lindsay knows little about baseball. Ben and Lindsay are attracted to each other but Lindsay is put off to his single minded devotion to the game. They begin dating and their relationship is humming along. Lindsay invites Ben to Paris but he refuses because the Red Sox are playing the Yankees at home. They eventually break up but Ben finally realizes that he misses Lindsay. The story takes place in 2004, will the Red Sox finally win the World Series and will Ben finally win Lindsay back? I really liked this movie because I am a dye in the wool Red Sox fan. However, there is more to life than baseball. Fever Pitch has an ending that puts things in perspective.
