Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2012)

Trouble With The Curve is a film you will not regret watching, full credit to Director Robert Lorenz for picking, in my opinion, the best possible cast for this film.
Despite Clint Eastwood's often indecipherable growling, he still gives you that slight hint of emotion that we saw in Gran Torino. My only concern is that Eastwood seems to be playing the same characters over and over again in his old age, I'm not sure if he's getting typecast or if he is just genuinely playing himself.
Amy Adams puts in the performance of her career and rises to the moment, often outperforming against the far more experienced Eastwood.
There is a certain magic quality about baseball and this film captures it well, the passion, the tradition, at times you can almost smell the leather of the catcher's mitt.
This is a movie about family, the human spirit and not so much about sport. If you're looking for crowning moments, championship wins and all American heroes then you've come to the wrong place. If you're after compelling drama, a beautiful narrative and just a hint of fun then this is the film for you.
Trouble With The Curve is a thoroughly enjoyable film and one that I would gladly watch again and again.
