I watched "Fever Pitch" (starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon) for the first time earlier today. I was greatly disappointed.

Its a light-hearted romance about a die-hard Red Sox fan (Fallon) meeting and falling in love with a business woman (Barrymore) just before and during the World Championship 2004 Red Sox season.

Being a Boston fan myself I loved the references to and coverage of the Sox but the rest of the movie fell totally flat. There was absolutely no "chemistry" between the stars, the script was weak and it was way too predictable.

The movie had lots of potential but Fallon couldn't rise to the occasion (I could picture Adam Sandler doing a much better job).

I give it one star (only for the Red Sox connection).
