Fever Pitch (2005) 
Easier than Fallon off a log
|
Some may say, he hasn’t posted a review in over a month and comes back with fever pitch? Well the school year started so I have less time to devote to watching and writing about movies. Though now that I am no longer a Chemistry teacher I will have a lot more time. Anyway, in that spate of time I have been playing more games and watching less movies. The movies that I did watch came off the shelf from the library. So this is the first of two reviews of mediocre pieces of work.
My wife saw Jimmy Fallon live and thought he was hilarious, plus we both like Nick Hornby. So we hypothesized that this film could produce some enjoyment. It produced a little.
Main plotline and character interactions left me pretty cold. I really don’t think much of Fallon as an actor. I have heard many movie romances for lack of chemistry, but this one really took the cake and I blame Jimmy. I hope he worked better with Queen Latifa. I did enjoy some of the parts of the movie when Fallon was interacting with his students and friends. But I would probably still avoid a second viewing if I could help it.
Welcome Back!
Sorry your film wasn’t more entertaining. I’ve never even heard of Jimmy Fallon. Not too surprising, though. Did you guys know him mainly for SNL?

i haven’t seen him much on SNL though i did see him a couple times doing bits on weekend updatd. he sings lots of songs and does a mean adam sandler impression. so that is something, i suppose.
