Fever Pitch

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I do not like Jimmy Fallon. He has all the credibility of a clown to me. Thus, I was reluctant when my wife said I might like it. I figured she was assuming she thought that because it's a sports themed film.

Well, to be more accurate it's a romantic comedy that includes stuff about sports because the man is a Red Sox fan.

Long story short, Drew Barrymore meets Jimmy Fallon in the late fall and dates him through the winter, then spring and baseball season arrives when she sees a different side to him, the Red Sox fan. The rest of the film is her dealing with that.

Seriously, that's the whole movie.

Barrymore and Fallon have no on screen chemistry at all, but I will say that Fallon was passable as an actual human being. That's good compared to his normal work.

It was all right. One or two "comedy" bits were a little over-the-top, but the rest was believable.
