As an Arsenal fan my view of this film is no doubt biased, I simply love it and I can watch it time and time again. Any Arsenal fan would enjoy this film however I think that not only football fans but also any sports fan in general could appreciate and relate to this film.
It is based on the book by Nick Hornby and the main elements are common throughout them although the story has been adapted quite a lot to make it more appropriate for a film. The relationship between the main character and his on and off girlfriend plays a central role in the film which differs from the book. The book is definitely worth a read for anyone who enjoys the film.
Fever Pitch does a brilliant job of portraying all the emotions a football fan goes through, how it can affect every aspect of your life and how non football fans don't understand it. Therefore even people with no interest in football could also relate to this film and enjoy it.
The whole cast were great in their respective roles and all brought a realistic element to it which is what I love about British films. I liked seeing Colin Firth in this role as it was an early film of his and probably not something most people would expect to see him in.
I thought the whole atmosphere created in the scenes at matches was really authentic and it was also interesting to see how football has changed in certain ways.
I can't pretend I would enjoy this film as much if it was about another team but I still think people shouldn't write it off because it's about Arsenal- or football even. This film is about a prominent aspect of British culture and therefore worth a watch for anyone.
