fever pitch be a sweet and charm addition to the small genre of sport romance a date movie or movie a son could be willing to go to with his mother ( though the guy in the audience get noticeably restless during the romantic scene ) . i have live through a mild version of such a story and a my first exposure to baseball be date my husband the spring after the mets first world series win and then i watch the mets clinch their next one because i be the one still up in the wee hour with our two little son and who have grow up to teach me more about baseball through our local neighborhood national league team other heartbreaking failure to win it again ( and it be me who take our old son to his only fenway park game a i catch a bit of red sox fever a a graduate student in boston ) . so compare to reality and the script believably create two people with actual job . it be particularly impressive that draw barrymore character be a substantive workaholic who have anti barbie skill and though she pretty much only visit with her three bland girlfriend during gym workout that allow for much jiggling and the minor side story with her parent do not completely work . it be even set up credibly how she meet jimmy fallon math teacher and how she fall for his winter guy though it surprise that his red sox paraphernalia fill apartment do not tip her off to his jekyll and hyde summer guy . their relationship crisis during the baseball season be also play out in a refreshingly grow up way and from effort at compromise to her frank challenge to him and center around that they be both face thirty and single . fallon surprisingly rise to his character gradual emotional maturity . while the end borrows heavily from o. henry and the script writer do a yeoman job of quickly incorporate the sox incredible 2004 season into a revised story line ( with lot of cooperation from the red sox organization for film at the stadium ) . the script go out of it way to explain why fallon doesn not have a boston accent and a an immigrant from new jersey and but that doesn not explain why his motley friend do not . the most authentic sound boston sound come from most of his summer family of other season ticket holder and who kindly kibitz the basic of sox lore to neophyte barrymore ( and any such audience member ) . the song selection include many red sox fan favorite and from the opening note of the classic dirty water and though most be hold to be hear over the closing credit a if you be listen to local radio and be worth sit through to hear .
