Trouble with the Curve Movie Review

Trouble with the Curve Movie Review

Doesn't it seem like Clint Eastwood has been making movies for hundreds of years? Trouble with the curve is a movie about a father who is a baseball scout and his daughter that is a lawyer. The premise of the movie is about their relationship and the two of them growing closer through baseball. Clint Eastwood is they only reason I saw this film. The last film from him I saw was Gran Torino and I remember loving it. In addition I enjoyed all of the actors in this film and feel they were perfectly chosen. Clint Eastwood is very good in this film as he does his usual tough guy role. He actually has comedic timing in moments that are meant to be serious that makes this film even better. Amy Adams also performs very well in this film. She played Clint Eastwood's daughter and her emotion she brought was something I wasn't used to seeing from her. That is considering that I've only seen her in the Muppet's film which wasn't that serious of a role. Generally most films about baseball are good and this one is no exception. The overall story is really great and emotion. Showing how baseball brought a daughter closer to her father and gave them things they had in common. This story also shows how some of the old ways of doing things are better than the way computers do it. One line from the film that really sticks with you is "A computer can't tell you what a kids got" it just hits you in a place that is indescribable. In conclusion Trouble with the Curve is an moving story. Some people I've heard from said it was a bit predictable. I agree with this but one really important part of the film had me shocked. I'm giving this film a 6 out of 10. Clint Eastwood gives it eight points automatically but Justin Timberlake brings it down two points sadly. This film would be good for a rainy day or a late night that TV sucks like a Sunday night or Saturday night. I would recommend this film to anyone but its not really for everyone because if you can't understand the message being portrayed then you probably won't enjoy it.
