2005 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 43 min
Directors: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Ione Skye, Marissa Jaret Winokur
Ok, Farrelly brothers. This movie is a Red Sox tribute disguised as a rom-com. And I can get behind that. But Jimmy Fallon? He's not terrible, but he's goofy Jimmy Fallon. I don't know how I feel about him as a leading man. Not good, I guess, since I've just spent an entire paragraph talking about it.
So Drew Barrymore is a work-aholic and Fallon is a Sox-aholic. How will they make it work? Conflicts arise but they both realize in their own way that some sacrifices will be necessary to be happy together. So she gets arrested running across Fenway Park in the middle of a game. No big.
It's kinda cheesy, but if you like the Sox, there's lots of little fan-only treats in this one. And it's one big tribute to the '04 win, so who doesn't want to remember that (unless you're a Yankees fan)? Overall, it's a 'meh' kind of movie.
