Fever Pitch (2005) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
To call this "Farrelly brothers lite" may be a little redundant, but aside from the odd vomit gag, it goes relatively easy on their usual working-class taboo busting. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

Still, despite the visual clumsiness and the production's tattered seams, I found myself rooting for this movie anyway, partly because Lindsey and Ben make a nice fit, as do the actors playing them, partly because the Farrellys bring so much heart to ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at The New York Times (Manohla Dargis)

If you're rooting for Barrymore and Fallon, then why not their team? In the movies, there are enough happy endings for everyone. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
Fever Pitch (2005) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for Empire (Miles Fielder)Empire (Miles Fielder)
Not a Farrelly brothers classic, and (some testicle-washing aside) not much in the way of their trademark gross-out humour, but the boys from Boston do an admirable job of transferring Hornby's story into the States and onto the baseball diamond. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at Empire (Miles Fielder)
Fever Pitch (2005) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)
Barrymore has rarely been so bright and effortlessly charming, but it's all lost on Fallon, who often resembles one of those unfortunate SNL guests who freeze up on live TV, completely out of their element. If Fallon wants a life after SNL, he might want ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Scott Tobias)

Rarely have filmmakers had a more wildly improbable happy ending forced on them. Well, you need all the help you can get, divine or otherwise, when your two stars - Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon - have no chemistry whatsoever. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at New York Post (Lou Lumenick)

Fever Pitch is surprisingly devoid of jokes, or romance, or any of the other basic elements you'd expect to find in a romantic comedy. The only thing the Farrellys get right is the obsession. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at Miami Herald (Rene Rodriguez)

The movie is so soggy and anonymous, I had to remind myself that the Farrelly brothers, Peter and Bobby, directed it. It's sad to watch the kingpins of gross-out try to dial down to cute. Swung at and missed. ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Fever Pitch (2005) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)
"Fever Pitch" seems to me a clever title for a film about baseball and falling in love. However, the pace and over all drive of the film prove this title quite the misnomer. Instead of a resonating vibration, or a high intensity energy, "Fever Pitch" is ...read the complete Fever Pitch movie review at Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)

Jimmy Fallon teams up with the Farrelly brothers and Drew Barrymore, and tries to step into Adam Sandler's big shoes, in the this remake of a British comedy of the same name, Fever Pitch.

Cute kills. Or at least it does in this initially promising romantic comedy about Ben the teacher (Jimmy Fallon), who is a Red Sox fanatic, and Lindsey the power exec (Drew Barrymore), who is not.

Where’s Adam Sandler when you need him!?!

I have to also mention that I had absolutely no idea, going into this movie, who directed it and I was quite shocked to see the Farrelly brothers named in the credits.

Love them or merely like them, the exceptionally successful screenwriting team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel may have no peers in terms of commercial popularity in the past 25 years.
