There was a UK version as well, which was miles better but still crap compared to the book.

OH MY GOD: The Jimmy Fallon - Drew Barrymore movie about basefall!!!!. I had forgotten the name - obviously I never saw it but remember the ads for it. But it was an autobiography. How do you take an autobiography written by a crazed English soccer fan and turn it into a fictional account of a guy who is into a baseball team in the states?
In any event I don't see how the humor could be translated into a movie unless the movie was narrated. Its the guys observations that made it funny.
Have you read "How to Be Good". That was the first book (and only other book) I have read by Horby, but it was really good. Really funny.
