Good effort from The Perfect Catch

The Perfect Catch

Directors: Bobby and Peter Farrelly

Cast: Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Ione Skye

Cert: 12

A romantic comedy based on the age-old misunderstanding on the part of chicks that the boyfriend might just be over-obsessed with the local footie, GAA, or rugby team. As this is a Stateside yarn, it’s the Red Sox.

So, can Barrymore, equally obsessed with her work, get Boston fan Fallon to take his mind off Fenway Park and give her a little attention as the baseball season gets into full swing?

It's not the usual gross-out Farrelly brothers film but it's a film with enough charm and romance to get beyond first base.

Star rating: 3/5.
