- 100Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt's been a while since a movie made the game of love this winning.
- 80VarietyBrian LowryVarietyBrian LowryThe Farrelly brothers are growing up, which in this case isn't a bad thing. With a tacked-on ending made necessary by the Boston Red Sox's improbable World Series run last fall, Fever Pitch proves a charming romantic comedy against "A Beautiful Mind"-type framework.
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA curious mix of smarts and schmaltz.
- 75Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisEffortlessly entertaining romantic comedy.
- 75Chicago TribuneAllison BenediktChicago TribuneAllison BenediktThe gall of Peter and Bobby Farrelly. To think that a romantic comedy might work absent a sleazy wager or maddening miscommunication takes a lot of chutzpah.
- 75Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe picture's consistently entertaining and, though it has few brilliant comic peaks, it never plunges into boring valleys.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenUltimately goes the distance, it gets the job done with a halfhearted bunt rather than a solid line drive.
- 70Dallas ObserverJean OppenheimerDallas ObserverJean OppenheimerSails by on cute dialogue, some funny visual gags, and two enormously likable leads.
- 60The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasBarrymore has rarely been so bright and effortlessly charming, but it's all lost on Fallon, who often resembles one of those unfortunate SNL guests who freeze up on live TV, completely out of their element. If Fallon wants a life after SNL, he might want to try another medium.
