There was nothing ordinary about the making of ``Fever Pitch,'' which began life as a romantic comedy about a tenuous love affair between a die- hard Red Sox season-ticket holder (played by Fallon) and a workaholic career girl (Barrymore) who wouldn't know the Curse of the Bambino from the Howl of the Banshee.
Here, a single person presents herself in the guise of a cast of dozens, if not thousands - the girl next door recast as social and cinematic stereotype: siren, housewife, victim, vixen, hayseed, career girl, spoiled princess, runaway, beatnik, lady of leisure, slut.
In one corner, you have Ben (Jimmy Fallon), a high-school teacher who attracts the interest of workaholic career girl Lindsey (Drew Barrymore) because he's low-key, funny and oh-so-normal.
