Sinopsis(1)
Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) ha sido uno de los mejores cazatalentos de béisbol durante décadas, pero, a pesar de sus esfuerzos por esconderlo, su edad empieza a pasarle factura. A pesar de esto, Gus, que puede decir cómo es un lanzamiento solo por el sonido del bate, se niega a quedarse en el banquillo en lo que podría ser el último trabajo de su carrera. Pero podría no tener elección. Los directivos de los Atlanta Braves empiezan a cuestionar sus opiniones, especialmente con el último fenómeno del país, un bateador que espera a que le convoquen. La única persona que podría ayudarle es también la única persona a la que Gus nunca pediría ayuda: su hija, Mickey (Amy Adams), empleada de un importante bufete de abogados de Atlanta, cuyas ganas y ambición le han hecho ascender hasta convertirse en socia. Mickey nunca ha tenido mucho contacto con su padre, que no estaba preparado para ser padre soltero después de la muerte de su esposa. Incluso ahora, en los pocos momentos que pasan juntos, él se distrae fácilmente por lo que Mickey asume que es su primer amor: el juego. A pesar de su buen criterio y de las objeciones de Gus, Mickey acompaña a su padre en su último viaje a Carolina del Norte, poniendo en peligro su carrera para salvar la de su padre. Obligados a pasar tiempo juntos por primera vez en años, los dos descubren cosas nuevas del otro, revelándose historias de hace mucho tiempo sobre su pasado y presente que podrían cambiar su futuro.

It's a pretty routine flick, but luckily Clint Eastwood is in it and he's a classic, so his fan base won't regret it in the end. But if the story had revolved around a more entertaining sport (like tic-tac-toe, jumping jacks, or chess), it might have been a little better.

I went to see this flick mainly because it stars Clint Eastwood. I remember reading he would never play in another movie again. It was around the time Gran Torino came out and his acting performance in that one was flawless. But then all of a sudden this nobody from the middle of nowhere shows up who’s made no movies so far and decides to make an absolutely average drama and wrap the whole thing in nationalism and baseball and Clint just walks right into the middle of that. I don’t understand why. If it wasn’t for Clint, I’d give this movie one, or two stars tops. Trouble with the Curve might be too much of a pro-American movie, but Clint is still the kind of actor that even non-Americans will find interesting. But his role in this movie being his last one is pretty sad. You see some time halfway through the movie, I was actually wondering whether I want to watch it to the end. I even skipped about fifteen minutes and when I got back to the movie, nothing significant had happened. But anyways, Clint made me watch the movie to the end eventually. I kept telling myself that there would be some part that I’d find interesting. But in the end, this didn’t happen and Clint’s last performance became one of the most mediocre movies I’d seen recently.

Sometimes you need a fairy tale like this for your audience's mental health, even if it is painfully predictable, but it has a positive feeling, which is never enough.

Clint Eastwood did promise that he would not return in front of the camera, but I think everyone is glad that he did not stick to this resolution. After his performance in the film "Gran Torino", it would be a shame for him to end his career when he still has more to offer to the world. This was also evident in the film "Trouble with the Curve", although on the other hand, the role created for him was essentially identical to the one he portrayed in his own film "Gran Torino", which is a pity. Clint has already lived quite a few years, he will celebrate his eighty-third birthday this year, but he still has a lot to show even in less similar roles.
