simply put, it is a movie worth watching. a movie is meant to entertain and this one did exactly that. the story line was exciting, and there was never a "boring" moment that many dramas seem to have. i highly recommend it, especially if its clint eastwood's last movie (according to clint).
believable characters and story. clint eastwood proves he still "has it". definitely in the top range of "sports movies". not too technical on the game, so anyone who didn't know baseball very well can still enjoy it.
great heartwarming movie. clint eastwood plays his character so well, similar to gran torino. eastwood and adams are a great father and daughter pair.
clint eastwoods performance was both touching and humerous.
trouble with the curve was an absolute delight, the cast was pitched perfect. clint eastwood is funny as the grumpy father with a disfunctional relationship with his daughter. the plot is consistent but the screenplay lacks of length. justin timberlake's character was futile and useless in some way. overall the film belongs to the witty amy adams and clint eastwood. it's a great watch!
amy adams is a great actress. i love her movies.
manichean characters, the storyline is a bit predictable. still, a nice movie and an honest performance by clint eastwood and amy adams.
was definitely a good movie, though not clint's best. it's hard to dissociate clint from the iconic characters he's played in the past. don't get me wrong, he is still a hard-nosed, gruff, guttural man who you clearly wouldn't want to cross on a bad day. he just seemed muted...like watching him as walt kowalski if he had started getting softer, not harder, as the years passed by. movie had a solid pace, with a few bumps along the way. the first-time director made a few rookie mistakes in the area of common film tripes and cliches, but it was lifted by a solid cast, with good performances all around. definitely a decent movie worth checking out.
i really enjoyed the on-screen chemistry of the cast and the strong female character. even the most dramatic scenes did not feel forced, contrived or over-acted. it was light-hearted when it needed to be, sentimental when it needef to be and serious when it needed to be. this really helped keep the storyline moving forward.
this movie was touching and humerous. you don't have to be a sports fan to appreciate how the love of the game in this movie translates to a greater love of family and self. great film!!
