Reasonably good movie
Last night we rented the movie ''Fever Pitch''. In brief, Drew Barrymore plays a workaholic thirty-year-old, and Jimmy Fallon plays a thirty-something who is an extremely nice, very sweeet guy. The question arises: Why is he still available? What is wrong with him?
The answer is that he is obsessed with baseball.
Although it was billed as a ''romantic comedy'', it was not particularly funny. Although there were a few amusing moments, there were very few laugh-out-loud moments.
That said, it was a reasonably sweet movie, and reasonably enjoyable. It was a ''pretty good'' movie, and was in no way a ''stinker''. Thus, it was worth getting if you are at the video rental store and can't think of anything else. It might be of particular interest to those who are particularly enamoured with baseball.

There is a more subtle version of this movie filmed in England based on Nick Hornby's book of the same name, only it is about soccer instead of baseball. A better Nick Hornby book is High Fidelity, which also became a movie starring John Cusack. You might like it...all about music. (The book is better than the movie, in my opinion).
Thank you for the suggestion. I have seen -- and enjoyed -- the movie. I will add the book to my list. :)
