Movie: Trouble With the Curve
Genre: drama
Synopsis: Gus (Clint Eastwood)
is an aging baseball scout whose eyes are failing. He could be on his last scouting trip. Management wants to drop him because of his
not-so-modern methods. His daughter is
Mickey (Amy Adams). Mickey is an
associate in a large legal firm. Her
relationship with her father is rather rocky.
She decides to accompany him on this trip to help him – whether he likes
it or not. Also in the cast are Matthew
Lillard (the management SOB who is out to fire Gus), John Goodman (Gus’s
immediate boss), and Justin Timberlake (a competing scout).
My two cents: I may not agree
with Clint’s politics – but the man can sure make a great movie. I loved this filme. Clint was great. Justin Timberlake was great. Amy Adams was better than great. I would love to see at least Amy Adams get an
Oscar nomination out of this. I would
not mind seeing the movie in the running for Best Picture also.
