Summary: Ignore the cover!
Review: I'm guessing they were trying to appeal to a male crowd with this cover. It has nothing to do with the movie. It is a nice romantic comedy with some fun stuff for British football fans. Let me clarify: No random toppless woman. This is not Bachleor Party. My boyfriend follows British Football and it was fun for him to see some of his teams and be a part of the fan culture there. I follow Colin Firth, and it was fun for me to see him in another cute romantic comedy.

Summary: Truly a B movie
Review: I'm sorry, but Colin Firth or not, this movie was awful. I couldn't continue to watch it and never saw the end. A definite B movie in picture quality and poor story development. The story was missing continuity, you'll be wondering if you missed something. I'm sure Colin had no control over the final edit. A true waste of talent. If you are looking for eye candy, stick with Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones Diary and Importance of Being Earnest.

Summary: get the facts right!
Review: Im sorry but this is for the guy who said the ending is completely stupid and he didnt buy it. mate that match actually happened, arsenal DID win 2-0 at anfield with an injury time winner, that footage is real and "its up for grabs now" is a sentence that still gives gooners (arsenal fans) shivers. since 1996 ive been goin to arsenal and ive seen us win 2 leagues, people do go out on the street and party, its what happens when u love something so much, in this film nick hornby has portrayed a sports fan perfectly and i cry whenever i watch it because many of the ideas are so true. Colin firths monologues in it are wonderful. Words cannot express just how accurate and wonderful this film is. Just but it and wish u had something to hold on to like paul, the main character, has.

Summary: Fever Pitch
Review: Imagine an obsessd football boyfriend who thinks of little more than that. Here is the plot for Fever Pitch. Paul (Colin Firth) is sloppy and uninterested in pratically everything and everyone except Aresnel his favorite team. Not my favorite Colin Firth movie but he makes the most of this somewhat enjoyable story. There are some truly funny moments that arise from his obession and you see he is not a bad guy but just to preoccupied with football. If you like Colin clean cut and sweet like in BJ or P&P it will take a few minutes to get use to his look here. If it is raining and you have pizza pop this movie in

Summary: Read the book
Review: See, Colin Firth is this middle-class bloke who's really into footie, so much that He Just Can't Commit to his girlfriend. And that's it. Basicly a movie about relationships, which might be interesting except both main characters are cardboard cutouts. Not a lot of romance or humour or even football. Unless you're a diehard Arsenal supporter, I'd skip the film and go right to the book.

Summary: A Story Not Only About A Soccer Freak, But Ourselves
Review: The movie fails in describing the characters' inner conflicts.
I recommend you to read the original novel by Nick Hornby.

Summary: The horrible life of being a soccer fan
Review: This excellent movie is based on the book with the same title by Nick Hornby, who also wrote 'High Fidelity' and 'About a Boy'. Thanksfully he has written the screenplay too.I am an Arsenal fan but cannot fully understand what this team can do to fans. Arsenal had not won a league championship since 1971 and we follow Collin Firth as a fan in the 1989 season in which many things happen in his life. His life goes like the season, up and down and with a tremendous climax. For soccer fans this movie is great, for Americans it might give some insight into the mad people that follow this beautiful game around the world. Don't worry, there are now standing tickets anymore, it's all seats now. For Red Sox and Cubs fans it might look a little like their own lives, constantly being dissapointed and loving and hating your team at the same time. But like in Fever Pitch, dreams may come true some day

Summary: Colin is a hottie!
Review: This has to be my third favorite Firth film! He's adorable in this film, I could just hug him! The story is cute and anyone who's ever been with a person who's a sports fan will be able to relate to the story. I dare say, very agreeable!

Summary: What a stupid cover, great movie
Review: This is less an adaptation of the book, as an adaptation of the theme of the book. The book is about a man's relationship with a football club (Arsenal). The movie is about a man trying to balance both a relationship with Arsenal and a woman. The movie is a fun romantic comedy. It's nothing spectacular, but it's something that both women and men will enjoy. Women will like it because it pokes fun at sports fans and men will like it because it's empathetic with sports fans. It's worth a rent for everyone. It's worth buying for Arsenal fans to celebrate the Double.

Summary: Football and Firth
Review: This movie is brill! I wasn't able to get too far into the book cos I don't particularly support Arsenal so I wasn't intently keen on the subject (Spurs are my London team). But Colin Firth yet again pulls a great role and the movie on a whole was well worth getting into Arsenal for. A better adaptation of Hornby's, but mostly cos it stayed in London (unlike Fidelity, which for some reason was moved to the States). Watch it if for nothing else the match at the end.
