Reviews:

A classic movie about football, unless you support Spurs….
By now you would have read enough reviews to know about the story and the characters.

So here’s my own opinion of Fever Pitch…

Like the DVD cover states for this movie, “Love footie, hate footie, you’ll love Fever Pitch”. Fever Pitch defines how hundreds of millions of football fans feel around the world, who are as passionate as Paul (Colin Firth) is about Arsenal FC. The relationship with his father, how he handles his classroom and the teacher next door at the school are all realistic, especially if you’re living in an obsessive football supporters world, or any sport for that matter…

The fact that the Americans took this great script and tried to turn into a story of their own (See: The Perfect Catch) shows that it had great appeal on the other side of the Atlantic. The Americans sure have been lacking ideas of late and some have resorted to trying to remake old English classics, with somewhat less success.. e.g. The Italian Job, Alfie and now Fever Pitch.

In Fever Pitch, you could see Colin Firth’s potential to be more than just an English character actor and we all know where those early efforts have gotten him today.

A funny film, well worth watching if you’ve ever been passionate about anything in life, and regardless of what team you support (except for Sp*rs probably)…

Touching and hilarious portrait of an obsessed fan
This movie is an overlooked gem – much better than the American remake.

Colin Firth’s Paul really hasn’t a clue as to how stunted he is emotionally, due to his obsession with his favorite football club, Arsenal. Sarah, the uptight teacher who sort of conveniently falls into his life (if she hadn’t been teaching in the class next to his, he probably would have remained alone) is aghast to discover the depth of his attachment to Arsenal (the Arsenal boxers that Paul blithely sports give her the first clue).

I love the scene where Paul is trying to convince her of his newfound maturity, but only succeeds in lighting his dinner napkin on fire. Firth’s portrayal is quietly brilliant and hilarious. And as a baseball fan who wears rally caps and refuses to move her spot on the couch when her team is winning a big game, I found so much to relate to. I’ve been there with Paul in the depths of despair and the heights of delirium. Luckily I married a baseball fan too!

I bought this movie on DVD after renting it, and love to watch it once or twice a year. Undeniably and proudly English, it entertained this American to no end.
