Okay I was prepared to like this movie as it is based on a Nick Hornby novel and movie'Fever Pitch' about a guy who is nuts for the Arsenal Football (soccer) team who has trouble committing to his girl . Alas poor Drew is given precious little to work with as that blank slate Fallon can't act a lick, nor does he have comic timing . It takes about 20,minutes for this film to strike out and strike out it does. Every time there is the slightest fever building in this movie Fallon manages to throw a wet blanket on it smothering it . This is Fallon's second failure after'Taxi' and I don't imagine too many more scripts will be offered to this pixie . Adam Sandler is paid big bucks for a reason-he is funny and charming . It is ,really,too bad he wasn;t given this role as he could have done a lot with it as he has a definite chemistry with Drew which was proved in'Fifty First Fates' and the 'Wedding Singer' Alas FAllon is no Sandler and never will be and has no chemistry with Drew whatsoever .
