Summary
Based on Nick Hornsby's best-selling autobiography, Fever Pitch is set during the 1988/89 football season. Paul Ashworth (Colin Firth), an English teacher in his thirties, is passionate about Arsenal. As the season and the film progresses, the club has a chance of winning the league for the first time in 18 years. Meanwhile, his on-off romance with fellow-teacher and non-football fan, Sarah, mirrors the Gunners' fluctuating season. Somewhere between his all-consuming obsession with the Arsenal and his fractured love for Sarah, the hero of Fever Pitch has to find a life!
