KaDee Strickland do next, she did not focus as much on genre as she did on good characters, scripts, and directors, which she said "don't come around that often." For the scene in which her character hides under her bed covers, Strickland received a 2005 Teen Choice Award nomination for Choice Movie Scary Scene. In late 2004, Strickland embarked on what she called "the craziest job I've ever had": a role in the Farrelly brothers film "Fever Pitch", a baseball-themed romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon (Strickland's "Anything Else" co-star) and based on the Nick Hornby book.

Fever Pitch Fever Pitch Fever Pitch: A Fan's Life is a 1992 autobiographical essay by British author Nick Hornby. The book is the basis for two films: "Fever Pitch" (1997, UK) and "Fever Pitch" (2005, U.S.). The first edition was subtitled "A Fan's Life", but later paperback editions were not. "Fever Pitch", first published in 1992, is Hornby's first novel. It tells the story of the author's relationship with football and with Arsenal Football Club, in particular. It consists of several chapters in chronological order, from the time the author first became a football fan as a child until his early thirties.
