My Worst Review Ever

Before I begin yeah I had a very bad day when I wrote this review.  I had lost my job, the White Sox Spanked the Red Sox in the playoffs, and my families college homecoming the home team lost...to add to it a girl I was trying to date had told me she just wanted to be my friend.  No revision to the rating I'm just letting you know that it had been a really bad day when I wrote this one and it reflected in my work.

Fever Pitch

First off I saw the previews and it caught my interest a little.  Being a Red Sox fan espicially.  Thus me and mi familia rented it and well it was charming. 

Drew Berriemore plays a big time excutive and Jimmy Fallin plays a school teacher.  They meet when Fallin brings a groups of students to observe someone who has put their know how of mathamatics to good use and have become successful.  From their it is an interesting serious of events as a relationship between the two unfolds.  Then she learns Fallin's little secret.  He is a Red Sox fan.  A die hard Sox fan in fact.  He has Season Tickets that allow him to go see them from some of the best seats in the house.  Seats that you must inherit to own.  They are that valueable.  This starts out okay as Berriemores character becomes more and more intersted in the Red Sox world.  Then she starts falling behind at work.  As things start to spiral downward Fallin decides for the first time in Eleven years he is going to miss a game.  This happens to be the game were the sox came back and scored 8 runs in the ninth inning beating the evil Yankees 8-7.  Berriemores character leaves him and he realizes just how much he cares for her.

The sceenwriting is very good, but does have it hokey moments.  Still some of the lines in it are perfect.  "By days end he had become one of the most pathetic beings in existance:  A Red Sox fan."  It has a great deal of charm and character to it and creates a perfect combination of Baseball for the guys and romance for the ladies. 

The directing style is decent and also adds it flair to it, but still is not the greatest in the world.  Nuff said there

The former Mrs. Tom Green as always adds her flair  of humor and good acting and unlike Fallins first movie Taxi he also hits the nail on the head.  The side characters also create a humorous atmosphere. 

I highly recomend renting Fever Pitch and deciding for yourself if you want to own it.  I give it *** out of **** .  It is a good watch
