Synopsis

When Paul (Firth), a middle-aged British teacher who nurses an obsession for the North London football team Arsenal, meets Sarah, a seemingly uptight young woman who is a single-minded professional, he is forced to drastically re-evaluate his life. Sarah loathes the sport, while Paul's entire life is based on it--it is the only place in his life that allows him to feel true joy or pain, as well as a sense of national identity. Soon Sarah is pregnant, and although she's growing to enjoy her husband's pastime, she worries that Paul cares more for the sport than for the relationship and the impending arrival of fatherhood. Paul observes how the relationship is indeed mirroring the team's streak of wins and losses. But with Arsenal in contention for the 1989 First Division Championship--after an 18 year barren spell--Paul and Sarah have one fleeting chance to restore their touchy union. The film is lent an extra dash of realism in that Arsenal's victory in the final moments of their 1989 campaign is considered one of the most dramatic moments in the history of British soccer. Fever Pitch is based on the novel by Nick Hornby, whose subsequent efforts--"High Fidelity"; "About a Boy"--confirmed his appeal as an author and inspired further box office successes.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not (only) about football, 10 Jul 2008
By Laetitia Roy (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This film is a love story, and an adaptation from a very good book. I dont care about football, but I'm a Colin Firth fan, and I trully enjoyed this film. Entertaining,and at the same time, complex and intelligent. Really good work. Understated film.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Isn't Necessary To Be A Gooner To Enjoy This Film, 13 Nov 2008
It Really is NOT necessary to be an Arsenal Fan (A Gooner) to enjoy this film - as Nick Hornby manages to capture and portray what it is like to be 'A Football Fan' (The Heaven and Hell we all go through) - Regardless of who you might or might not support - As the film portrays the Highs, Lows, Agony and Ecstasy that most (true) Football fans go through each week, Month and Season.....whether your team be a Big Club or one of the Smaller Clubs - as it is all about the Passion and Love that one holds for ones own team - As Paul The main Character in the film observes how it's possible for your team/club to lift your spirits to the point of ecstasy and then bring you crashing back down to earth the next - which is what it is like being a Football fan.....and so if you are and regardless of whom you support, you will recognise yourself in this film - Providing you are a real football fan - and not an armchair - change your team from week - month type - who knows nothing of loyalty!..

This is a 6 Stars out of 5!

4.0 out of 5 stars Arsenal before Wenger., 22 Sep 2007
First of all, you do need to be an Arsenal fan. I can't imagine sitting through a similar film about Tottenham.
For fans of a certain age this film brings back all the memories of the 1988/89 season. You will probably recognise yourself in many of the scenes as I did.
It's a must watch for all Gooners, buy this film!!

Two teachers with differing teaching styles clash in the workplace - but opposites attract and Sue surprises herself by falling for the disorganised Paul. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Arsenal Nostalgia
Excellent movie with very strong appeal to Arsenal fans, especially those who remember the fabulous dying seconds win at Anfield to take the title. Great for it's humour.
