Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012) by Chris M — 30 Apr 2014

An aging baseball scout (Clint Eastwood), who is starting to lose his vision, reluctantly takes his daughter (Amy Adams) on one more scouting trip to North Carolina where they soon meet another hot-shot baseball scout (Justin Timberlake) in Robert Lorenz's sports picture, Trouble with the Curve.

Whenever the film works, it's mostly due to Amy Adams' charming screen presence and the way she is able to match wits with Mr. Eastwood. In fact, Amy Adams is really the only reason to watch this movie at all, since the script and Clint Eastwood's performance both have a dominant "been there, done that" feel to it and both contain a lack of further ambition.
