Why even show ‘Fever Pitch’ in New York?

Spring can be a tough time for moviegoers. Caught between the heavier pre-Oscar fare and the popcorn blockbusters that bow on Memorial Day, you might be inclined to choose a theater based on its snacks rather than its movies. Just check out Rotten Tomatoes, where only three of the current top 10 movies have scored a “fresh” rating. So you know how desperate I must have been to even consider Fever Pitch, starring Jimmy Fallon as a misguided (aren’t they all) Red Sox fan who puts his team before his burgeoning relationship with Drew Barrymore.
