I just rented Fever Pitch last night and I thought it was a cute movie. It’s a romantic comedy starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore as two people who have to overcome various obstacles to their relationship. With her, it’s the fact that she is extremely competitive and works very long hours in order to get ahead at her job. With him, it’s the fact that he’s a diehard Boston Red Sox fan and basically turns into a whole different person from April to October. He’s got season tickets and plans his entire life around Red Sox home games.

The movie was from the Farrelly brothers, who also did Dumb & Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, and Me, Myself, & Irene. Unlike those other films, Fever Pitch isn’t exactly a “belly laugh” kind of movie. It does have some funny moments and I laughed out loud a couple of times, but it wasn’t a comedic romp or whatever. Overall, it was cute and likable — an entertaining movie to watch when you feel like spending an evening at home.
