Fever Pitch
1997
**½
Director: David Evans
Cast: Colin Firth, Ruth Gemmell, Neil Pearson, Lorraine Ashbourne
A sweet but formulaic English romantic comedy about a man whose obsession with Arsenal Football Club is a burden on his relationships to women, very much like music in High Fidelity. Both films are based on Nick Hornby's novels, although the source material for this film was actually an autobiographical collection of essays.
