High-school teacher Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon) is a good catch. He’s charming, funny and great with kids. When he meets Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), an ambitious business consultant whose spirit is as luminous as her beauty, their attraction is immediate. Sure, they have their differences. She’s a workaholic; he loves his summers off. He lives and breathes the Red Sox; she doesn’t know Carl Yastrzemski from Johnny Damon.But true love overcomes all…at least until Red Sox spring training rolls around.

Do not make the mistake of thinking it is a baseball movie. It is a movie about how men and women, filled with love and motivated by the best will in the world, simply do not speak the same emotional language.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Fever Pitch might be the first baseball comedy girls convince their guys to see. By the end, both will be pointing at the screen and saying, "You see, that's how I feel about sports." B+--Sean O'Connell (Flipsidemovies.com)
More than anything else, "Fever Pitch'' is a gift to Red Sox fans. If you waited all your life for what happened last year, here's another way of celebrating it over and over again.  --James Verniere
It is the necessity that all love be requited and the need to choose between being a winner and a loser in life that keep American romantic comedies mired in their current rut of predictability.  --Bruce Newman
That’s it, man…one joke in 100 minutes of so-called comedy. 4/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Fever Pitch definitely could have made a little more effort to veer off the base paths, but the movie slides by easily enough - even if it's playing without spikes. B--Robert Denerstein
"Fever" isn't pitch-perfect, but it turns into an overtime game, one that gradually captivates even the most casual observer. There are ample reasons to make a line drive to see "Fever Pitch."  --Jeff Farance
This movie isn't necessarily a fluff piece, but neither one of its characters is interesting enough to sustain an entire movie, especially Fallon. We get that he can play a really nice guy, but we have yet to see him as a funny guy. If he keeps taking roles like this and "Taxi,” his comedy career is going to strike out even sooner than even his toughest critics may have predicted. C+--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
