Fever Pitch (1997)

The 1997 Fever Pitch is the British version of Nick Hornby's novel with the same title. Colin Firth is the leading man in this story about a man and his romances, both the football (soccer) team and a woman.

Hornby's book is brilliant, and the movie manages to take much of it well onto the big screen. It still doesn't manage to really capture his passion, his choices and the humor. If you love soccer, or really any sport, or a man or woman who loves a sport, then you'll find a lot to relate to and laugh of. If you don't love, sport or someone loving sport, I doubt this movie will speak to you.
