Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012) by Vivin M — 27 Jul 2013

Review:

Speaking as a big Clint Eastwood fan, I did find this movie to be quite disappointing and boring in parts. Clint is playing his usual miserable self alongside his daughter Amy Adams who puts in a good performance for what she had to work with. Justin wasn't bad as the love interest, but his acting style seems to be very one dimensional. The problem with the film is the storyline which was a bit bland for a Clint movie. There wasn't anything that made it exciting or different from other baseball movies, but there is a touch of wit which will make you chuckle. I expected more to be honest. Average!

Round-Up:

After Clint Eastwood announced his retirement from acting after making Gran Torino, there was a lot of people who shocked and upset, but this was the wrong movie to pick to come out of retirement with. I was surprised that I never heard anything from Hollywood about this film because of the big cast, but after watching it, I can understand. I just hope that Clint comes out with another movie soon because this is definitely not the one to be remembered for.

Budget: N/A.

Worldwide Gross: $49million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there baseball movies with a bit of romance and drama. 4/10.
