An enjoyable Clint Eastwood film

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2014)

This film tells the story of a baseball scout nearing retirement age, who goes on a trip to recruit new players despite his ailing health condition.
"Trouble with the Curve" reminds me of "Moneyball", but it turns out to be entirely different because it focuses on human instincts, skills and relationships. The plot is very engaging, because there's always something dramatic going on. Gus and his daughter have an ambivalent relationship, and I'm so glad to see closure towards the end. The ending is very satisfying because of closure on several subplots. It delivers emotional elements and engages me a lot, especially the relationship between Gus and his daughter, the health of Gus and whether Gus can keep his job. I enjoyed watching "Trouble with the Curve", it's just that people have very high expectations on it as it's a Clint Eastwood film.
