Baseball is much more than a game

Rating: 8/10 (4 October 2012)

The reason I went to see this movie is because Clint Eastwood was the star. I'm glad I went to see this movie because all the actors played their roles very well. Clint Eastwood plays an aging baseball scout in a world where those that really know him, take a what you see is what you get and care about it, attitude. So there must be a reason(s) for them to feel that way and respect him for what he is. I really liked the way they developed the characters and the plot. Although it was somewhat predictable, I must ask you, does anything ever turn out exactly the way you hoped it would? You will not be disappointed, especially if you like Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, and John Goodman. The characters surrounding them also helped to keep it real. There is a reason baseball (and other sports) scouts are valuable to their sports. There's also a reason that character, or a lack there of, matters. If you don't get that by the end of this movie, you probably never will.
