Much More About Baseball!

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2012)

Even if you are not a baseball fan, you will enjoy this movie. As Clint Eastwood in his first movie since "Gran Torino" in four years. Plays a crusty baseball scout with an eye problem. Who may be on his last leg. But he is the very best at his job.
His loyal friend and boss Pete(Played by a scene stealing John Goodman), wants to keep him. But technology and other things are taken over for these old school people like Pete and Gus(Eastwood).
As Pete in an last effort attempt to get his estranged lawyer daughter Amy Adams, who plays Mickey to bound. As well as save his job. Mickey has her own problems and wants to make partner at a law firm. But agrees to take to watching over her father. While worrying about her position at the law firm at the same time.
While they scout a brilliant but arrogant baseball prospect who hits home runs. And they come across an up and coming scout named Johnny(Justin Timberlake who is growing as an actor). Who also becomes Mickey's love interest. While on the road.
Both father and daughter grow along with a secret in why the estrangement began in the first place as you would have to watch.
Eastwood still has it. As despite being aged, still he has got it. Adams is her usual great self. Timberlake again growing as an actor. Goodman is the loyal friend that sticks through thick and thin and really not a boss to Gus. But just a loyal and steady friend whom Gus despite not admitting, really can relate to him.
Even if you are not into baseball. Still you will love this movie. Great acting and great writing!
