ICE CUBE ISN'T AN ACTOR

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2018)

Clint Eastwood plays an old talent scout for the Atlanta Braves. He has failing eyesight and doesn't have a computer. He has a strained relationship with his successful daughter Mickey (Amy Adams) who is a workaholic and about to be offered a partnership in a law firm.
Clint's latest task is to scout Bo Gentry, a slugger from North Carolina. At the request of her dad's associate (John Goodman) Mickey torpedoes her chance at being a partner to be the eyes for a father, who is not exactly grateful for the help, yet uses her talents. While away, she meets a young scout for the Red Sox (Justin Timberlake).
The movie is enjoyable as Clint plays a man perhaps too much like himself. Amy Adams was magnificent as the shunned daughter in what amounted to an improbable film. The movie spends time to develop character for a plot that lacks the action associated with Eastwood films. A heart warming film for Eastwood fans. Worthy of a view and might make for a decent date night film. Border line chick flick.
Parental Guide: 1 f-bomb. Some spicy language. No sex or nudity.
