Fun Stuff

Trivia:
During the flashback to the first game that Ben's uncle took him to we see three actual former 1980 Red Sox players playing themselves. Two are very recognizable star players Dennis Eckersley and Jim Rice. The other is Keith MacWhorter who only pitched one season in the majors. His career record was 0 wins and 3 losses in his 24 game career. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In the scene where it is revealed that the Yankees officially clinch the division, the "F" indicating the final score goes up from inside the hand operated scoreboard while an inning is in progress. At Fenway Park, the out of town scores are changed between innings from the outside and only between innings. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Al: [voice over] Eighty-six years of bangin' our heads against the big green wall, but we finally did it. That part you know. That part everybody knows. But I got a story you don't know. It's about this schoolteacher friend of mine named Ben.

Watch the UK version instead, 3 May 2007
3/10
Author: gtgleeson from United States

I've enjoyed Nick Hornby's books, and their movie adaptations, but this is the exception. It was a huge disappointment, especially the character of "Ben" (Fallon), who comes across as a moron with almost no redeeming features.

I later found the original UK version, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119114/), and was delighted to see fully realized, believable characters (with a brilliant performance by Colin Firth as the central character "Paul Ashworth").

Don't waste your time, watch the UK version instead. Vastly superior script and acting.
