Set Contains:
In their engaging commentary track, the Farrelly brothers talk about how working with Ione Skye was a lifelong dream after Say Anything..., praise Jimmy Fallon's "Hanksian" performance, and, as lifelong Red Sox fans, ask Bill Buckner for forgiveness. Two featurettes with cast and crew discussing how their plans to make a film about another Red Sox failure met with surprising fate. The 13 deleted scenes include an extended version of young Ben's first day at Fenway and a some lines of dialogue for Jason Varitek and Johnny Damon. But if it's Red Sox you want, go for the extended ending included in the Boston Red Sox Collector's Edition of the film. --David Horiuchi

What I got: An even-handed story where both guy and gal end up admitting -- to themselves and each other -- that they each have passions in their lives yet each can forgive the other to save the love they share.
Sounds sappy but with the nonstop humor and terrific performances this story works! Barrymore is classic Barrymore: that perfect blend of sweet, strong, and adorable. We expect that from her and she delivered.
But Fallon is the nice surprise in this film. He brings to the role the perfect blend of sports nut combined with the appreciation for the normal things in life, like caring about kids and his girlfriend. Fallon delivers his lines with subtle perfection. He can be caring ("You just ran across the field for me!") and in the same breath be obliviously blinded by his love for the Red Sox ("How did the grass feel? Kinda spongy?") at the same time. Fallon's portrayal "made" the movie. Hopefully, this movie marks the beginning of a better film career for Fallon, something beyond the over-the-top sophomoric humor typical of SNL alums (i.e. Will Ferrell).
In short, a movie that could have fallen victim to stereotypical male vs. female characters rose above that limitation and provided nonstop spot-on humorous lines, most delivered with brilliant subtlety by Fallon.
Hey, I saw this with my wife -- not a baseball fan -- and she loved it as much as I did. It's neither a "Guy Flick" nor a "Chick Flick". It's a terrific make-you-laugh flick. Go see it!
Both leads do a great job, particularly Jimmy Fallon. Not that Drew Barrymore isn't great, but we've come to expect that from her, so the performance by Jimmy Fallon was a refreshing surprise. Yes, he's doing his lovable, funny, stuttering schtick, but it works, and he has moments of real emotion, as well.
The romance angle is a little broad, with her as the hard-driving, upwardly mobile professional woman (complete with her pack of predictably diverse girlfriends/drinking-workout partners) and him as the cool school teacher who lives for his one passion, the Red Sox (complete with his pack of predictably diverse friends/season-ticket leeches).
When they meet, he's in 'Winter Guy' mode, and they spend a few months developing a romantic relationship. However, once Spring Training starts up he switches to 'Summer Guy' mode, and his obsession with the Sox begins to manifest itself into their relationship.
Hilarity ensues, as they say, along with some rom-com level drama. The interesting twist for this film is that it is set and was filmed during the Red Sox successful run for the World Series title in 2004. They adapt the vanquishing of 'The Curse' into the plot of the film, and it adds a touch of realism not normally found in most rom-coms.
A very enjoyable film, even more so on repeat viewing, where it held up remarkably well. Highly recommended.
I think another aspect that makes this movie really beautiful is the representation of a healthy relationship. Communication, active listening, appreciating, and respecting each other's passions, and resolving conflict by being open and honest with each other. Like, I don't think I've seen a more well-adjusted, sensible romantic relationship while somehow not being boring. Like, did you know that was even possible? Too many movies, TV shows, novels and book series, especially romances, are lacking in healthy relationships, and this is a, how you say, home run?
