Customer Reviews of Fever Pitch
okay...I guess As much as I love Colin Firth, I didn't find this movie too interesting. Not much plot. I found this movie slightly boring. Maybe it's because I've never been much of a sports fan. I wouldn't say "don't watch it, it's terrible" though. I must admit, it's nice to see Colin Firth in a role that's not Darcy-like. He is quite good in this role.
Supposedly "a contender for the best romantic comedy" of 1997, I didn't find this movie very amusing. I found the relationship between the two main characters...weird, I guess... How does she fall in love with this guy so quickly?
Sorry this isn't a particularly well-described review, but I don't know how to explain it. I just didn't see it as a great movie.
Diverting
Colin Firth is wonderful as the completely clueless, but absolutely charming soccer-mad English teacher. Between you and me, that's the only reason for a female to watch this film. Women, if you're bored by all the soccer stuff, think of it as an anthropological study of a subject you'll never understand. The bonus is that you get to study it while observing Firth. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that through most of the movie, I found myself screaming at Paul Ashworth for being so damn stupid. Ruth Gemmell is excellent, but who am I kidding? It's Firth's dimples and curls that make this movie for me. He looks scrumptious enough to eat with a spoon.
The horrible life of being a soccer fan
This excellent movie is based on the book with the same title by Nick Hornby, who also wrote 'High Fidelity' and 'About a Boy'. Thanksfully he has written the screenplay too.
I am an Arsenal fan but cannot fully understand what this team can do to fans. Arsenal had not won a league championship since 1971 and we follow Collin Firth as a fan in the 1989 season in which many things happen in his life. His life goes like the season, up and down and with a tremendous climax.
For soccer fans this movie is great, for Americans it might give some insight into the mad people that follow this beautiful game around the world. Don't worry, there are now standing tickets anymore, it's all seats now.
For Red Sox and Cubs fans it might look a little like their own lives, constantly being dissapointed and loving and hating your team at the same time. But like in Fever Pitch, dreams may come true some day
