Gus's daughter, Mickey (Adams), joins her father on his scouting trip to possibly help save his job while risking hers, maybe get closer to her gruff father, and meet another scout (Timberlake) who takes a liking to her.
REVIEW
Andrew:
Hello readers! We have Sarah’s mother visiting us this weekend and so to
entertain her we hit up the local AMC to catch a showing of this weekend’s new
baseball drama Trouble With The Curve. This is a film that we’ve seen the
preview for a number of times and have been somewhat looking forward to it,
mainly because it looks like it has a good cast in Clint Eastwood (Gran
Torino), Amy Adams (The Fighter) and Justin Timberlake (The
Social Network).
Trouble With The Curve is directorial debut of Robert Lorenz, who is
Eastwood’s longtime assistant director, which makes this the first movie
Eastwood has acted in that he didn’t also direct since 1993’s In
The Line of Fire. So it’s been a while.
All that said, now that
we’ve seen Trouble With The Curve, what did you think of it Sarah?
