Great Film: Fever Pitch (The Perfect Catch)
Pretty Darn Good
My daughter gets really put out at me when I refer to Drew Barrymore as
looking as if she'd been hit in the face with a frying pan, not to
mention her Dudley Dooright chin that Jay Leno would die for. How
wonderful, then, when I discovered in "Fever Pitch" that I really like
Miss Barrymore; and Jimmy Fallon; and the Red Sox; and Boston! This
film is probably best characterized as a sweet, light comedy. To be
absolutely stereotypical, the girls will like the movie for its
romantic charm and Jimmy Fallon's vulnerability, and the boys will like
it for all the male bonding and the depiction of sports mania.
My sports-hating wife, my teenage daughter, and I all found something
to like in the film. That says something in itself. It's a pleasant way
to spend an hour and a half or so, and is probably a really good date
flic, too.
