To put it in baseball terms, Fever Pitch swings for the fences, only to come up well short of the warning track.

| Nov 18, 2019

Fallon and Barrymore make for a likable and funny couple, even if this reasonably amusing film doesn't quite hit a home run.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2019

A slapdash, clumsy, poorly acted and pervasively false film filled with precocious movie kids, nonstop needle drops and a barrage of "washing your balls" jokes.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 26, 2019

Fever Pitch, the newest film from the Farrelly Brothers isn't packing much heat, but the humility will kill you.

| Aug 24, 2017

Nick Hornby's novels have produced two terrific examples of the genre: High Fidelity and About A Boy. Unfortunately, this latest adaptation is strictly a minor league affair.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 7, 2014

A delightful romantic comedy without the excesses we've come to expect of the Farrellys.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 7, 2014

I think it's very ordinary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 7, 2014

A pleasant comedy with a good heart and amiable characters.

| May 7, 2014

The Farrellys rein in their usual excesses, but still manage to produce the laughs, albeit accompanied by a dose of terminal cuteness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2014

Fever Pitch is funny, romantic and it makes even the by-now-very-tired story of the Sox's 2004 World Series win seem fresh.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 7, 2014

A genial date comedy that will divide audiences and genders on the prominence of sports in a relationship.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 7, 2014

It's a sweet, slight romantic comedy with appealing stars and a happy ending -- unless you're a fan of, you know, that other team.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 7, 2014

...tries to deal with the messy process of nurturing a proper adult relationship rather than simply shoehorning two lovers into a predictable set of catastrophic circumstances until they finally succumb to one another.

| May 29, 2013

Stripped of almost all the brothers' usual crudeness, Fever Pitch proves what we've suspected all along: That beneath the gross-out gags and freak-show humor, Peter and Bobby Farrelly are just a couple of lovable romantics.

| Mar 20, 2013

The film turns out to be a substantial pleasure as the spirit of the Sox shines through.

| Mar 20, 2013

Perfectly enjoyable but perfectly forgettable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

Coincidentally, it's the second great romantic comedy to end with Drew Barrymore on a ball diamond and the only work of fiction to feature Jimmy Fallon as a believable human being, as Fallon handles possible pregnancy with unexpected dramatic presence.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 24, 2010

Maybe you have to love the Red Sox to really enjoy Fever Pitch, but then you never really had to know sports to know a pretty bad movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2009

The Farrelly brothers soften their customary inclination toward gross-out humor with a tender and earnest adaptation of a novel by Nick Hornby ("High Fidelity").

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 18, 2009

Despite the charming actors and promising setup, they never really hit it out of the park.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 14, 2007
