While I have almost no interest in sports, let alone the World Cup, I love sports movie. Fever Pitch is Nick Hornby’s film, based on his memoir, about his love for soccer, or as they say in Britain, “football,” and his love for women, and how these intertwine. Colin Firth plays Nick, and he also plays Colin Firth, who should have his nervous wit patented. Considered much better than the American remake, which starred Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore and was about baseball, it’s great for World Cup withdrawal as well as for actual entertainment.
