Movie #700........................."Trouble with the Curve"

Movie #700 "Trouble with the Curve" was a bit disappointing. I normally like all of the actors in the film, but they had trouble at times getting across the lines from tis really clunky and predictable script. That's the weakest part of the film. That and seeing Clint Eastwood play the same part over and over and over --- he is always Dirty Harry, just speaks more grovelly as he ages. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last we see of him on the screen (not directing, but acting) because he kind of sucked the life out of every one else in the film ---- and that's tough to do with effervescent Justin Timberlake! Amy Adams rises above everyone because she is able to act in between the clunky lines --- and I liked that she knew more about baseball than a lot of the guys in the film --- kind of a switcher there. Oh, and a shout out for the music --- I bet Eastwood had a hand in that, because whenever there was a lull, there would be jazz or blues playing in the background. If you like baseball, you probably will still like this because of the subject matter, but oh my, the script is weak. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
