Went to see Fever Pitch tonight with SNL alumni Jimmy Fallon and ET friend turned Charlie’s Angel, Drew Barrymore. Man, I must say, Barrymore is getting hotter and hotter. Fallon plays an obsessed Red Sox fan and erstwhile school teacher who catches the fever for Barrymore, a mathematician? Somehow Barrymore doesn’t seem like a brainiac, but her part still somehow works. Sorta.

It’s Fallon who’s unhealthy Sox fever is the unlikely antagonist in this girl meets boy, boy falls for girl, baseball season starts, Red Sox lose, Red Sox win story. Not your typical sappy love story comedy, but nothing that will be up for any awards either. Sort of reminded me of Mr. Destiny — not from the storyline, but as far as likeability. I’ll give Barrymore an B+ and Fallon a C-. The pitch comes down the plate and it’s just a bit off the corner. Wait for it on the DVD cycle unless you are desperate for a makeout movie. Grade: C+
