Editorial Reviews

Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon star in this comedy with something for everyone! It’s a romantic comedy with a baseball theme! Adapted from the Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) novel, the story follows the trials and tribulations of Lindsey (Barrymore) a successful woman in love with Ben (Fallon). Everything starts off great when their relationship starts in the off-season, but when baseball starts up again in the Spring, their relationship becomes a love triangle with the Boston Red Sox as the third party!

In production during the season when the Red Sox broke their decades-long "curse," Fever Pitch’s finale was famously filmed on the winning field as the Sox finally closed the deal and won the pennant!

2.0 out of 5 stars Run Drew, September 29, 2005

If anyone is looking for the song that plays while Drew Barrymore is running across the baseball field to Jimmy Fallon...its actually on the soundtrack...but it hides itself very carefully in fact.

Its called "Who Killed Tangerine" by Tears for Fears. Just wait for it...wait for it...until the end...then you'll remember it.

Hope this helps those of you that just want to find that song you're looking for and be done with it...not have to search through a thousand other songs before you finally find the one you were looking for in
the first place.

and remember...its not over...it never was over.

3.0 out of 5 stars So, Where's "Sweet Caroline"?, December 24, 2010

This review is from: Fever Pitch - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I am a big baseball fan, and I love this movie, but whoever put the soundtrack together wasn't paying attention. WHERE IS SWEET CAROLINE? How could you put together a sound track for a Red Sox movie without it? There are some songs on the soundtrack I could do without (Yowsah,Yowsah, What Would You Say), but I still like the music. I'd gladly give it 4.5 stars IF Sweet Caroline had been included.

This review is from: Fever Pitch - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

i bought the soundtrack because every movies whith drew barrymore have to have a great soundtrack,and it does!... yes the majority of the songs are oldies but it's nice and suit well to the spirit the film want to give (i haven't see the movie yet).Anyway a lot of great oldies with a couple of new sound (ivy and dropkick murphys for exemple) and an extract of the new tear for fears album which is very good by the way.So if you like nice compilation of jazzy and pop/rock songs you will love this soundtrack,for the other,well listen to it before you decide to buy it.Even if i already have their album,in the clear,i think my favorite track is without any hesitations ivy's gorgeous and catchy,thinking about you.
