Fever Pitch

Watered-down Farrelly brothers is still good enough to make for a passable romantic comedy. This time the sibling directing team abandons the sort of touchy topics they’ve mined before – schizophrenia, obesity – to follow a rabid Boston Red Sox fan (Jimmy Fallon) who must decide if it is time to change priorities in his life after meeting the woman of his dreams (Drew Barrymore).

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
