Trouble With the Curve will not change your life. Trouble With the Curve will not give you many surprises. Trouble With the Curve will not likely give you any great insight into the mysteries of the universe. Trouble With the Curve, though, may give you a couple hours of easy-going entertainment.Clint Eastwood plays a crusty, cranky guy that deep down is lovable. I know... big surprise. But know this, surprises are not always necessary for movie-going enjoyment. Sometimes it is pleasant to be able to settle in and relax with the knowledge that all is as it should be. For this movie the crusty, cranky guy is a baseball scout. There's quite a bit of baseball thrown (pun intended) into this movie, making it quite easy for the manly men to enjoy the movie. It may fool them into thinking it is a sports movie, rather than a movie about relationships. It's not.
Amy Adams plays Clint Eastwood's emotionally messed up daughter. It turns out that she is quite a baseball lover as well. She knows as much baseball trivia as my husband, Mike! There are some issues between father and daughter that will tug at your heartstrings. Throw Justin Timberlake in to portray the man who can break through the barrier Amy's character has around her heart and you've got the recipe for a dandy good movie! Yes, I used the word "dandy". It's my blog and I'll say dandy if I want to.
There you have it. I've not got any qualifications to review movies... well, none besides the fact that I sometimes go to them and I happen to have a blog. So, I'm recommending this movie to anyone who has a few hours and wants to feel good afterward. That alone has value, don't you think? Go ahead and enjoy yourself. You deserve a few hours of pleasant entertainment.

What a dandy review! Sounds like a movie I might enjoy.
In that your blog is essentially an informal way to comment on life and the world and that the informal meaning of "dandy" when used as an adjective is "excellent", it was certainly your prerogative to use such an evocative word. Just dandy.

Ah Ha! Hi, TWB! It is nice to see your comment!
Michelle, I think you'd like it. There's a bit of language thrown in but not much, by today's standards. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!
Susan,
Good to know, we often go to the cheapies - and are always looking for good titles. Thanks for the heads up.
Blessings,Friend,

Hopefully this isn’t Clint’s last flick before big-time retirement, because the guy can still nail it and does so here. The only problem is that the rest of the film doesn’t help him out so much in-return. Nice review.
