Review: "Fever Pitch"

The best thing about the new Jimmy Fallon / Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Fever Pitch (PG-13) is the animated American Dad short showing before the film. The movie focuses on the decision one Boston Red Sox fan has to make between the love of his life and a girl. I do not find Fallon funny enough to pull off the comedy part of this flick and Barrymore has gone downhill in looks and acting skills in the past few years. The film has some sweet moments but some scenes are far too annoying and dull for me to seriously recommend this feature. It isn't the worst romantic comedy we've seen this year so far (Hitch), but it certainly isn't the best (The Wedding Date), either. All in all, the very cliche Fever Pitch is a decent motion pitcure if you really want to see it.
