Synopsis:
Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon star in FEVER PITCH, a contemporary
romantic comedy about a successful woman who thinks she’s
finally met the perfect guy. Everything seems ideal until baseball
season begins, and she has to compete with his first true love:
the Boston Red Sox.
It’s a love triangle –
but with a twist. Instead of revolving around three people, this
story involves twenty-eight: a man, a woman… and a Major
League baseball team.
High-school teacher Ben Wrightman
(Jimmy Fallon) is a good catch. He’s charming, funny and
great with kids. When he meets Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore),
an ambitious business consultant whose spirit is as luminous as
her beauty, their attraction is immediate. Sure, they have their
differences. She’s a workaholic; he loves his summers off.
He lives and breathes the Red Sox; she doesn’t know Carl
Yastrzemski from Johnny Damon.
But true love overcomes all…at
least until Red Sox spring training rolls around. As Ben’s
beloved Bosox launch one of the most incredible seasons in baseball
history, Ben and Lindsey must decide if they, as a couple, will
strike out or fight to keep love alive through extra innings.
