Four time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood shines in the first trailer for Robert Lorenz’s Trouble with the Curve. I have to admit I’ve been
somewhat skeptical of another nomination coming for Eastwood’s performance, which would be his third for acting – his first since Million Dollar Baby (2004), but after seeing the trailer I’m liking his odds a whole lot more. Trouble with the Curve looks to be more than just another sports film, as the trailer hints at it also being both a romantic/comedy (between Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake) and a father/daughter family drama. There seems to be a whole lot of emotion (that I wasn’t expecting) coming from this little trailer, and it looks as if we have another film to start getting excited about. Eastwood plays an aging scout suffering from vision problems whose daughter (Adams) tags along on a long road trip to act as his eyes while he does his thing, a skill based on years of intuition and gut instinct. Trouble with the Curve also stars John Goodman and Robert Patrick, and will hit theatres September 28th.

It has a ‘The Descendants” touch to it that I very much like.

I wasn’t particulary interested in this movie, but the trailer just caught my attention. Looks to be excellent.

It’s this year’s Descendents meets Moneyball movie. Another one to add to my list of films I’m looking forward to the most.
It also reminds me of that one road trip movie that no one saw called The Open Road about a father and son who are baseball players on a road trip to get back to the mom who’s in the hospital. That also had Justin Timberlake in it as well who plays the son, and Jeff Bridges playing the dad. It’s one I highly recommend to those who love road movies. One hell of an underrated flick.

I won’t be surprised if it will received by the Academy very well. Really, it’s The Descendants 2
