New Trouble with the Curve movie list

New movie list Trouble with the Curve Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus-who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat-refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. -- (C) Warner Bros.

Review For Trouble with the Curve
Lorenz ... lays in everything methodically, fully, but without much invention or energy; you can imagine each plot development ten minutes before it arrives. David Denby-New Yorker Eastwood, in his 80s, looks a lot trimmer than some of the performers in this film half his age. He may be the only octogenarian actor who has to play older than his age to be convincing. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Nobody would pay much attention to this plodding but good-hearted film if not for its star, Clint Eastwood, although he's just dialing in the go-to Cantankerous Old Man mode on which he has relied for a decade or so. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald This isn't the worst performance Eastwood has given in his 57-year career, but it's his least inspired in about a decade. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Trouble With the Curve" is a solid double down the line. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com [There] are powerful scenes, not because of what we've invested in this pleasant film, but what we've invested in Eastwood. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Seemingly written by people who have either never seen a baseball game or haven't followed the sport in years Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell A clichéd motion picture with a couple of rip-snortingly bizarre moments that undermine its own credibility as mainstream, comfortable entertainment. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline Trouble with the Curve arrives on Blu-Ray with beautiful quality, but the multi-plotted narrative of the film and the hollow special features only serve to drag it down, ultimately making this a release that I can't recommend. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered Clint Eastwood's baseball drama sinks with as much of a head-scratching thud as his speech to the empty chair at the Republican National Convention. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine It's basically Moanyball. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk But if [Clint] ever wants to belatedly challenge for an acting Oscar - as he so nearly did with Gran Torino - then he needs to take the Amour route and really make us feel for the character. Graham Young-Birmingham Post Director Robert Lorenz does a proficient, if unremarkable job corralling all the cliches into a pleasing, predictable package...And let's face it: nobody serves out a big, well-deserved dose of comeuppance like Clint. Even without a gun. Jim Schembri-3AW A classy old school character drama that dips into sentimentality in its final stages, but remains first-rate in every other aspect. Erin Free-FILMINK (Australia) A frustrating yet heart-warming film that misses the mark due to a predictable and dated script, not to mention the poor performances from the supporting cast. Yasmin Vought-MovieFIX The narrative feels almost intentionally hokey and diagrammatic, a framework that gives the actors freedom to display their best-known qualities. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) Hopefully, this decent but uncomplicated movie isn't a final acting hurrah for Clint Eastwood. Craig Mathieson-The Sunday Age I was a bit underwhelmed by this, I must say. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Well, I have got nothing against a bit of ludditeism. You know I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Watching this film (agonisingly protracted at almost two hours) is a little like spending time with an curmudgeonly uncle you hate visiting. Shane Danielsen-sbs.com.au ...pleasantly saccharine, filled with agreeable but empty calories. (Blu-ray Combo Pack) John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis For what it is, it no doubt succeeds. It's just that Eastwood usually strives for something more. John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis Randy Brown's script is a luddite fantasy that has Eastwood grumbling and telling technology to get off his baseball diamond... Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show A corny baseball drama whose story arc is as predictable as an easily caught fly ball. Jason Best-Movie Talk Too predictable and safe ever to be in any danger of swinging for the fences ... Alistair Harkness-Scotsman The movie celebrates a triumph of knowledge and intuitive experience over computers, which is OK by me, though it could have been written by one. Philip French-Observer [UK]
