It trys to follow the themes of the book (man obsessed with sports team, struggling to hold down a relationship) but cops out for an atrocious sentimental hollywood style ending, in which the the girl learns to love his sports obsessions, and they end up professing their love for one another in the middle of the basebasll pitch, broadcast on the giant screen, while the whole crowd watch and cheer....absolutely nauseating!

Uggghhh gross. That sounds utterly disgusting. How could they desecrate such a great literary work with such shoddy treatment. I only just finished reading the book last week - a good mate of mine gave me the 2005 Arsenal membership pack while I was staying with him, and there were a couple of great books (Fever Pitch of course) and a DVD.
